Veneers in Basingstoke
If there are things about your teeth that you’ve always wanted to change - chips, discolouration, small gaps or uneven shapes - veneers could be the solution that brings your ideal smile within reach. They’re a popular cosmetic treatment that helps us transform smiles with minimal disruption and long-lasting results.
At Hampshire Dental Care, we offer veneers to patients looking for a subtle but striking improvement in how their teeth look and feel. Whether you’re looking to enhance a single tooth or design a full smile makeover, our team is here to guide you with honest advice and years of experience.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite material that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They’re designed to mimic the natural look and feel of enamel, creating a brighter, more uniform appearance. Because they cover the front of the tooth, they’re particularly useful for correcting cosmetic concerns such as:
- Discoloured or stained teeth that can’t be whitened
- Worn-down, chipped or broken teeth
- Slightly misaligned or uneven teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Teeth that vary in size or shape
The treatment process usually involves two or three appointments. First, we carry out a full consultation and take digital scans or impressions. Then, we prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel (if needed), before fitting your custom veneers for a natural, long-lasting finish.
Why Choose Us for Veneers?
Providing veneers is part science, part artistry - and we treat both with equal care. Our team takes a meticulous approach to every step, from shade matching to final placement. It’s not just about covering imperfections - it’s about designing a smile that suits your face, looks natural, and feels like you.
We’re known locally for our calm, friendly approach, and we make sure every patient feels heard. We won’t rush you through the process or recommend treatment that isn’t necessary. Instead, we’ll explain your options clearly, offer guidance based on our experience, and let you decide what feels right.
We also often provide veneers as part of wider cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening or composite bonding, depending on what you’re looking to achieve. Our aim is to help you get the smile that feels most like you - just a little more polished.
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers are one of the most effective ways to make lasting cosmetic changes with minimal impact to the tooth structure. Here’s what our patients value most about this treatment:
Natural appearance
Veneers are custom-made for a flawless yet realistic look that blends beautifully with your existing teeth.
Stain resistance
Porcelain veneers are resistant to staining from food, drink, and smoking, helping your smile stay brighter for longer.
Custom fit
Every veneer is made specifically for you, ensuring the right colour, shape, and fit for the most natural result.
Versatility
Veneers can correct a wide range of issues at once - making them a great option for a complete smile refresh.
Durability
With proper care, veneers can last well over a decade, offering excellent value over time.
We believe in results that look like an enhanced version of your natural smile - never overly artificial or 'one-size-fits-all'.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are considered permanent because a small amount of enamel is usually removed to fit them. With good care, they can last 10–15 years or longer. Composite veneers are less invasive and more easily adjusted, but may not last as long.
Does it hurt to get veneers?
No. The procedure is typically painless and often carried out under local anaesthetic when needed. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the treatment is.
Will veneers damage my natural teeth?
No, when done properly. We remove only a very thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneer. Your tooth underneath remains healthy and protected by the restoration.
Can I whiten my veneers later?
Veneers cannot be whitened once placed, so if you're planning on whitening your teeth, we’ll recommend doing that first. We’ll then match the veneer shade to your brighter smile.
Am I suitable for veneers?
We’ll assess your teeth and gums during your consultation. Most people are suitable, though we may recommend other treatments if your teeth are heavily worn, misaligned or affected by decay.
