Explore composite bondingVeneer work at our Queen’s Park practice follows the same rule as at Maida Vale: you see the result before you commit to it. We design the smile, trial it on your own teeth, and only prepare anything once you have looked at it and said yes.

The porcelain is handmade Emax, from £600 a tooth, and takes two to three weeks to come back from the lab. Dr Hamssa Mansour plans every case personally at 48 Salusbury Road, three minutes from Queen’s Park station.
A veneer is a wafer-thin shell of porcelain, made in a laboratory to our design, bonded to the front of a tooth. We use Emax lithium disilicate, which is both very strong and beautifully translucent, so the finished tooth has the depth and light of a natural one rather than a flat white look.
Veneers suit teeth that are too dark to whiten, heavily worn, chipped, misshapen or slightly crooked where the patient does not want orthodontics. A full set across the front teeth is a complete smile makeover; a single veneer can rescue one tooth that lets the rest down.
We design your smile digitally and, where helpful, show you a trial version in your mouth before any tooth is prepared. Preparation removes only a very thin layer of enamel, often less than half a millimetre, and we choose bonding over veneers wherever it can achieve the same result. Honest advice comes first.
The trial smile matters more than any photograph of somebody else. It is built onto your own teeth, in your own face, so you can look at the length and shape in daylight and ask for them shorter, squarer or softer while changing anything still costs nothing.
Photos, a digital scan and a conversation about what you want to change. We plan the shape and shade together and can show you a mock-up in your mouth.
Teeth are gently prepared under anaesthetic, a precise scan is sent to our ceramist, and temporary veneers are fitted so you are never without a smile.
Two to three weeks later the porcelain is tried in, checked for colour and fit, then bonded permanently. You leave with your finished smile.

From £600 a tooth for handmade Emax porcelain at 48 Salusbury Road. You get a written total for the whole case before preparation, and 0% finance is available.
Two clinical visits in most cases: one to design and prepare, one to fit, with two to three weeks in between while the lab makes the porcelain. You wear temporaries in the meantime.
A thin layer of enamel is removed so the porcelain sits flush, and that part is not reversible. We take as little as the case allows, and for some patients we recommend bonding or Invisalign first so that less preparation is needed at all.
Bonding is quicker, cheaper and reversible; veneers are stronger, brighter for longer and better for heavily discoloured or misshapen teeth. We will recommend whichever genuinely suits your teeth and budget.
Properly planned veneers remove a minimal amount of enamel and protect the tooth beneath. Because that enamel does not grow back, we only recommend veneers where they are the right choice.
Typically 10–15 years, often longer with good care and a night guard if you grind.
