Composite Veneers Wandsworth, London

A natural-looking smile upgrade — with minimal fuss.

Let’s be honest, most of us have at least one thing we’d change about our smile. A chip here, some unevenness, maybe a couple of teeth that just don’t match the rest. Nothing major, but enough that you second-guess a full grin in photos.

If that sounds familiar, composite veneers might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

At Dentist Wandsworth, we use composite veneers to improve the shape, size, and overall look of your teeth — without the need for drilling, shaving down enamel, or going all-in on a Hollywood smile (unless that’s your thing). It’s a more conservative, affordable option that can still completely transform how you feel about your teeth.

Composite Veneers Explained By Dentist Wandsworth

What are composite veneers?

Basically, they are small layers of tooth-coloured resin meticulously carved and attached to the front surface of your teeth. We use them to improve the overall look — whether it’s fixing a chip, reshaping a tooth, closing small gaps, or brightening things up when whitening just isn’t enough.

Unlike porcelain veneers, which are made in a lab and require some removal of natural tooth structure, composite veneers are done by hand in the chair. It’s a more gentle approach — no permanent changes, and the whole thing can often be done in one visit.

Think of it as cosmetic artistry, just with resin instead of paint.

Versatile Uses of Composite Veneers Explained – Dentist Wandsworth

What can composite veneers fix?

They’re surprisingly versatile. We often recommend them for:

Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Worn-down edges or flattened teeth
Discoloured or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening
Chips, cracks, or general wear and tear
Making teeth look more even, symmetrical, or uniform

And because they’re applied directly to your teeth, we can adjust things in real time — shape, colour, texture — until everything looks and feels right for you.

Composite veneers process at Dentist Wandsworth

What’s the treatment like?

Pretty straightforward, actually. No injections. No drills. No lab waits.

You’ll come into our Wandsworth practice for a consultation first, where we’ll chat about what you’re hoping to change and make sure composite veneers are the right option. From there, we colour-match the composite material to your natural teeth, then apply and sculpt it directly onto the tooth surface.

Once it’s shaped to perfection, we harden it with a curing light and give it a polish so it blends in seamlessly. Most people walk out the door with their new smile in just a couple of hours.

And because we’re not making irreversible changes, it’s a great option if you’re after a less permanent or more budget-friendly alternative to porcelain.

How long do they last?

With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and not using your teeth as bottle openers — composite veneers can last 5 to 7 years, sometimes longer. They’re not quite as durable as porcelain, but they’re much easier (and cheaper) to repair or tweak if needed.

And if things change down the line? You can always upgrade, redo, or remove them entirely. Nothing’s set in stone.
