Porcelain Veneers
If you’re looking to cover up a small chip or seeking a smile makeover, porcelain veneers could be the ideal option for you. With significantly shorter treatment times than braces, porcelain veneers offer a range of additional benefits. At Re:Nu Dental & Medispa in Notting Hill, we specialise in providing top-notch porcelain veneer treatments tailored to suit all goals and budgets. Experience the transformative power of porcelain veneers and achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
The difference between porcelain veneers and composite veneers
Deciding on the type of veneers to go for can be a tricky process. Here are the key benefits and disadvantages of both.
Porcelain veneers
- Translucent properties allow them to shine like natural teeth
- Stain resistance results in a consistently white smile
- Durable and can last 10-15 years, if properly taken care of
- Irreversible
- Must be replaced if chipped
- Longer procedure times
Composite veneers
- Will stain like natural teeth
- Less durable than porcelain veneers with an average lifespan of 4-8 years
- Prone to chipping
- Can be repaired if chipped
- Reversible
- Shorter procedure time
What’s involved in getting dental veneers?
The process usually requires one or two appointments, depending on the type and number of veneers being fitted.
In the first appointment, we’ll find a shade that suits your smile and will begin preparation of the treated teeth. For porcelain veneers, a thin layer of enamel will be scraped off the front surface of these teeth to allow room for the veneer shells and bonding material.
It’s at this stage we’ll take an impression of your teeth, to be used to create your bespoke veneers.
For the application of the veneers, the veneer shells are bonded to the teeth using strong dental cement.
Composite veneer procedures usually require just one visit, during which we’ll apply a resin, in a shade of your choice, to the treated teeth. The resin is bonded, cured and polished, resulting in a glistening smile in just a few hours.
Little to no anaesthetic is required when fitting veneers.
The benefits of dental veneers
- Cover-up chipped, unevenly spaced, misshapen or discoloured teeth
- Porcelain veneers do not stain easily, resulting in a long-lasting crisp smile
- The durability of veneers is one of their biggest advantages, with cared-for veneers lasting anywhere between 10-15 years.
- A more convenient alternative to braces

If you’re looking for the perfect dentist, look no further - Dr Latha is IT! She is kind, welcoming, professional - she explains everything so clearly, and is really gentle and patient. Her work is thorough and meticulous. And to top it all off, her clinic is so lovely it feels like a spa day. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now. I could not recommend her and RENU more highly! Run don’t walk!

What a lovely experience! Dr Latha is so caring and is clearly experienced with a real knowledge of both teeth and the facial structure. She identified teeth grinding and a jaw click that I didn’t even know I had. Such a thorough check up and in a really relaxing environment. Highly recommend.

I’ve never had as thorough of a dental health assessment as I experienced at this dental clinic. Coming from the US where I’ve never done a full 360• X-ray of my whole mouth, pictures taken of every angle of my mouth, such detailed analysis of my teeth by the wonderful dentist was a different and eye opening experience for me! The dentist, Dr Latha then took her time and patiently explained all the different issues she saw in my mouth and how to continue to care for my teeth. I wish I lived in London so I could continue seeing her.. It was a great experience for me! Best dentist in Notting Hill!

This must have been one of the best dentist visits I have ever had. Dr. Latha is very professional, friendly and capable. The clinic itself is highly technological and designed with the patient in mind (I can watch nature and landscapes on a screen on the ceiling while being treated, rather than staring into a bright light like in other dentist clinics? wow!). The treatment received also resolved my issue. Will be back.

Chipped half my tooth off and Dr. Latha shuffled her schedule around and managed to fit me in within 30 mins of me contacting them! Exceptional service and she did an incredible job. Good as new. Thank you 🙂
