Cosmetic dentistry · Harley Place

A smile that looks like yours, only rested.

Veneers, aligners and whitening, designed around your face and finished by hand.

Our philosophy

We don’t make smiles whiter. We make them truer.

Shaped to your face, matched to your skin in daylight, and checked against the way you actually laugh. Every case is planned digitally first, so you see the result before we begin.

Shade, chosen with you

Hold the guide to the smile.

We choose porcelain and whitening against a physical shade guide, in daylight, next to your own skin. Slide along the tabs to see how far one shade step travels.

Most patients settle on B1 or A1: brighter, and still believable.

Selected cases

Three smiles, three plans.

Full before-and-after records are shown in consultation, with each patient’s permission. A few patients agreed to share their finished smile here. Individual results vary.

Pass the light over a smile: polished porcelain should catch it the way enamel does.

Questions

Will veneers look fake?

Not when they’re planned around your face. We shape and shade them to your skin, lips and the teeth you keep, and you approve a preview on your own face first.

Does treatment hurt?

Most patients describe it as a long, comfortable appointment. Minimal-prep veneers and aligners rarely need more than a local anaesthetic, if that.

How long do veneers last?

Fifteen years or more with good care. Every case includes a twelve-month aftercare plan and an annual review.

Can I see the result before I commit?

Yes. The digital preview shows your new smile moving and talking on your own face, before we touch a single tooth.

Do you offer finance?

Interest-free finance over 12 to 36 months is available on treatment over £1,000, subject to status.

Smile assessment · one minute
