How much do veneers cost at Freshdental?

Veneers at Freshdental start at £899, and will depend on your desired results, and whether you decide to go for porcelain veneers or composite veneers. Both are great options!

Do you offer payment or finance options for veneers?

Yes. The highest quality dental care can be expensive and we want to be able to help as many people as possible achieve the smile of their dreams, so we offer interest free dental finance, our own practice dental plan, as well as a family and friends discount. Speak to a friendly team member for more information.

How long will my veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last from 10–15 years in ideal situations and composite bonding veneers from 5–7 years, depending on brushing habits, aftercare, teeth grinding, and diet.

Can I have my teeth whitened if I already have veneers?

Unfortunately not! Because our teeth are porous, whitening products are easily absorbed, whereas veneers are made up of porcelain or composite material that won’t respond to whitening products. It’s a good idea to have your teeth whitened before you have your veneers fitted, because your veneers will be matched to the shade of your natural teeth.

Can veneers fall off?

It’s unlikely that your veneers will fall off, but it is possible to damage them if you experience any facial injuries or impact to your mouth or teeth, and if the natural tooth underneath the veneer develops a cavity, they can detach or need to be removed. We recommend you stay away from extremely hard foods that could chip or damage veneers, and make sure you keep your teeth and gums healthy to maintain your dental veneers as well as your overall oral health.

What Are Metal Braces?

Metal braces are fixed orthodontic appliances that use brackets, wires, and elastics to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. The brackets are made from high-grade stainless steel and are bonded to the front of each tooth. A thin archwire runs through the brackets, applying gentle pressure to align your teeth over time. Small elastics secure the wire in place, and these can be customised with different colours for a personalised touch.

How Do Metal Braces Work?

Understanding how metal braces function can help you feel more confident about starting your orthodontic journey. Here’s an in-depth look at how they work:

1. Initial Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a consultation at Freshdental. During this visit, we’ll take digital impressions, X-rays, and photographs of your teeth to create a personalised treatment plan. This ensures that your metal braces are tailored specifically to your dental needs.

2. Placement of Brackets and Wires

Once your treatment plan is finalised, small metal brackets will be bonded to the front surface of each tooth using a safe dental adhesive. A thin archwire is then threaded through these brackets and secured with elastics. The wire applies gentle pressure to guide your teeth into alignment over time.

3. Routine Adjustments

Every 6–8 weeks, you’ll visit our clinic for adjustments. During these appointments, we may tighten the archwire or replace the elastics to ensure steady progress.

4. Gradual Tooth Movement

The archwire exerts a controlled force on your teeth, gradually shifting them into their correct positions. Over time, this process improves both the appearance and functionality of your smile.

5. Treatment Duration

The length of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case but typically ranges between 12 and 24 months. Regular check-ups ensure that everything stays on track.

6. Post-Treatment Retention

Once your braces are removed, you’ll be fitted with retainers to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back into their original positions.

Metal braces remain one of the most reliable solutions for achieving long-lasting results, making them an excellent choice for patients seeking traditional orthodontic braces in London.
