Instantly Elevate Your Smile with Natural-Looking Perfection If you're looking to dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile, dental veneers may be the ideal solution.
At Valley Drive Dental, we offer expertly crafted porcelain and composite veneers to correct imperfections and help you achieve a stunning, confident smile.
Whether you're dealing with discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment, veneers can transform your teeth into a beautiful, balanced smile—often in just two visits.

We start with a detailed smile assessment to understand your goals and determine if veneers are the right choice for you.

We’ll take photos, digital scans, or impressions and help you visualise your future smile with a mock-up or digital preview.

A very thin layer of enamel may be gently removed to ensure a perfect fit. We then take impressions for your custom veneers.

While your permanent veneers are being crafted, you may be fitted with temporary ones for protection and aesthetics.

Your custom veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth and polished to perfection—instantly transforming your smile.
Discover the confidence that comes with a beautiful, healthy smile. Schedule your Smile Makeover consultation at Valley Drive Dental today—and let us help you create the smile you’ve always wanted.
Valley Drive Dental Practice partners with some of the most prestigious and certified brands in UK dentistry, ensuring their patients receive top-tier, reliable care








Porcelain veneers at Valley Drive Dental in Gravesend start from £600 per tooth. Composite veneers are also available at a lower cost. The exact price depends on the material chosen and the number of teeth being treated. A full written cost breakdown is provided at your consultation before any treatment begins.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made thin shells crafted in a dental laboratory and bonded to the front of the tooth. They are highly durable, stain-resistant and can last 10 to 20 years. Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth in a single appointment using tooth-coloured resin — they are more affordable but less durable, typically lasting 5 to 7 years. Our team will recommend the most suitable option during your consultation.
Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a thin layer of enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer. This means the tooth will always require a veneer or crown to protect it. Composite veneers are reversible as they require no enamel removal. Our team will discuss the implications of each option fully before any treatment proceeds.
Porcelain veneers at Valley Drive Dental typically last 10 to 20 years with good care. Composite veneers typically last 5 to 7 years. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular check-ups and avoiding habits such as nail-biting or grinding will maximise the lifespan of your veneers.
Yes — well-made dental veneers look completely natural. At Valley Drive Dental, veneers are individually colour-matched and designed to complement your facial features and surrounding teeth. The goal is always a result that looks naturally beautiful rather than obviously artificial.
Teeth grinding (bruxism) can reduce the lifespan of veneers. If you grind your teeth, our dentist at Valley Drive Dental will discuss this during your consultation and may recommend a custom nightguard to protect your veneers while you sleep. Addressing the grinding before or alongside veneer treatment gives the best long-term result.
