Veneers in London
Veneers in London typically costs £300 to £1,200 per tooth privately, with a median around £650. This treatment is not covered by the NHS.
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain or composite bonded to the front of a tooth to change its colour, shape or alignment. Porcelain lasts longer; composite is cheaper and reversible.

Estimated from published fee guides
Material. Porcelain (£400–£1,200 per tooth) outlasts composite (£150–£400 per tooth) and resists staining, but costs more and removes more tooth surface.
Number of teeth. A "smile makeover" of 6–10 veneers is priced per tooth; the total adds up quickly.
Lab vs chairside. Porcelain veneers are made in a lab; composite can be built up chairside in one visit.
Porcelain veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel, so they are irreversible. Composite veneers add material to the tooth and can often be removed or repaired.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years; composite 4 to 8 years before they need replacing or refreshing.
Veneers are a cosmetic treatment and are not available on the NHS. Beware very low "package" prices advertised for full sets — quality of materials and clinician skill vary widely.
