Porcelain veneers correct a wide range of smile problems all at once. Whether you want to hide chips, gaps, worn edges, discolouration or slightly crooked teeth, porcelain offers a long-lasting change.
Porcelain veneers are prefabricated in a dental laboratory to your specifications and are then applied to the front surface of your teeth a few weeks later. Trial smiles available before it’s final.
Start with a consultation with our cosmetic dentists at Castle Dental in Lincoln, where we can assess your smile, your goals, and build your new dream smile around your budget, breaking down prices and timelines.
Porcelain veneers offer a more complete smile makeover than whitening, composite bonding or composite veneers alone can provide.
Mimicking natural enamel, porcelain boasts better translucent properties than any other cosmetic procedure, making it the most lifelike transformation.
It creates a brighter, smoother, and more even smile by improving the colour, shape, size, and symmetry of your teeth in one sitting.
At Castle Dental in Lincoln, porcelain veneers start from £700 per tooth and are carefully planned and digitally designed around your facial features, smile line, bite and natural smile.
Our goal is always to create balanced and natural results that feel like you, but better.
We offer two types of veneers at Castle Dental: porcelain and composite, which both address the same smile concerns but vary in price, process, and durability. Compare your options to understand which will work best for your goals.

Porcelain veneers are best suited for Lincolnshire patients who want to address and improve several visible aspects of their smile that are affecting their confidence.
As porcelain veneers are incredibly versatile, they correct a wide range of issues like:
In some cases, porcelain veneers can be used for minor crooked teeth to give the appearance of straighter teeth. However, patients might not be immediately suitable if they have heavily damaged or loose teeth, gum disease or severe crowding. Check your suitability.
Your first appointment involves your consultation, suitability assessment and digital design; following this, our cosmetic dentists will prepare your teeth for placement. The entire process takes around 3 weeks.
Depending on the type of veneers used, placement might involve removing a small amount of enamel from the front of the teeth (around 0.5mm), making your veneer placement permanent. However, in some suitable cases, minimally invasive veneer types like Emax can be used, which are ultra-thin and typically remove only around 0.3mm of enamel.
| Treatment stage | The process |
|---|---|
| Consultation | Assess suitability and whether your teeth are immediately ready for treatment. |
| Smile planning | Plan the shape, shade, size and number of veneers being placed. |
| Shade matching | Choose a veneer shade (whitening may be recommended first) |
| Tooth preparation | A small amount of enamel may be prepared so the veneers fit naturally. |
| Scans or impressions | Digital scans or impressions are taken so your veneers can be custom-made. |
| Temporary veneers | Temporary veneers may be fitted while your final veneers are being made. |
| Veneer fitting | Your porcelain veneers are tried in, checked and bonded securely to your teeth. |
| Final checks | We check the shape, bite, comfort and appearance before you leave. |
| Review and maintenance | We explain how to care for your veneers and arrange any review appointments. |

Porcelain veneer treatment is usually comfortable and performed under local anaesthetic.
They do not damage teeth in the same way that crowns remove a lot of tooth structure, but a small amolunt of enamel is removed which makes porcelain veneers a permanent procedure.
Porcelain veneers can last many years with the right care (typically 10-20).
Porcelain veneers are more resistant to staining than composite materials, but they still need good cleaning and regular dental care to keep them looking their best.
If you are only having veneers on some teeth, whitening first may be recommended so your veneers can be matched to a brighter surrounding shade.
