Veneers Treatment in Kendal
Ceramic and porcelain veneers planned with a digital mock-up you can try in your own mouth before any teeth are prepared.
Veneers treatment in Kendal at Crossbank Dental Care. Ceramic veneers are thin layers of dental porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, colour, or alignment. We plan every case with a digital scan, then 3D-print a mock-up you can try in your own mouth before we prepare any teeth. Only once you're happy with the preview does the ceramist craft the final veneers.
What to know
- Digital scan of your teeth. No putty impressions.
- Try a 3D-printed mock-up of your new smile first, then decide.
- Minimally invasive by default; no-prep veneers where tooth position allows.
- Typical longevity 10 to 20 years with good care and a nightguard.
Why Choose Ceramic Veneers
Natural Light Dynamics
Ceramic replicates how natural enamel handles light, with translucency, depth, and subtle colour variations.
15-20+ Year Lifespan
High-quality ceramic resists staining and chipping for decades with proper care.
Trial Smile Included
See and test your new smile in temporaries before any permanent work. No surprises.
Bonds & Strengthens
Modern adhesive bonding means veneers become part of your tooth, not just a cover.
Minimal Prep When Possible
Guided by your trial smile, we remove only what's necessary, often less than 0.5mm.
Hand-crafted by our ceramist
Your veneers are hand-crafted by a skilled lab ceramist who understands smile design.
Composite Bonding vs Ceramic Veneers
Both reshape your front teeth. Bonding is a one-visit, additive option; veneers are lab-made ceramic for a longer-lasting finish. Here is how they line up.
Best for
Chipped or worn edges, small gaps, freshening up the smile in one visit.
Bigger changes in shape, colour, or alignment where a longer-lasting finish matters.
Tooth preparation
No drilling in most cases. Composite bonds onto your existing enamel.
A small amount of enamel is shaped, often less than 0.5mm, guided by a trial smile.
Appointments
Usually one appointment for 2 to 6 teeth.
Two to three visits across a few weeks: scan, trial smile, then fit.
Typical longevity
5 to 10 years, with short polish-refresh visits in between.
10 to 20 years with good care and a nightguard.
Maintenance and repair
Polished or repaired chairside if it chips or stains. Composite can be added to or refreshed without remaking the whole restoration.
Repairs typically involve replacing the veneer. Lab-made, longer turnaround.
Cost
From £311 per tooth.
From £964 per veneer.
When it is the right choice
You want to test the look first, keep cost down, or only need small refinements.
You want a finish that holds its colour and shape for years and the change is bigger.
