Laminate Veneers London
Laminate veneers are the most conservative form of veneer — wafer-thin porcelain laminates that require minimal or no tooth preparation at all. Ideal for patients who want a remarkable smile transformation while preserving as much of their natural tooth structure as possible.
What Are Laminate Veneers?
Laminates are thinner than traditional porcelain veneers — often as thin as 0.2mm — and in many cases can be placed without any reduction of the natural tooth. This makes them a reversible, highly conservative option for cosmetic smile enhancement.The Treatment Process
- Smile design consultation and digital preview
- Little or no tooth preparation required
- Precise impressions or intraoral scan
- Laboratory fabrication (approx. 2 weeks)
- Bonding appointment — usually completed in one visit
