What is a dental veneer?
We are a private Dental Practice offering bespoke treatments to achieve all your smile goals. Using modern
technology in our recently refurbished practice, we aim to create a warm and inviting environment for all new and existing
patients. Patient care is in the heart of what we do.

How are they fitted?
After an initial consultation, your dentist will prepare the tooth (or teeth). This involves
shaving a tiny amount of enamel surface of the tooth, the same thickness that the veneer will be, to ensure the tooth stays the same size. This prepares the tooth surface for bonding the veneer in place later. The preparation should not cause any pain, but in some cases, a local anaesthetic may be given to prevent any discomfort.
An impression is then taken of the mouth, which will be given to a dental technician for them to build your bespoke veneer to the required shape and size. A colour shade is taken of the adjacent teeth to ensure the veneer blends in naturally. If several veneers are being made, they can be made to a lighter shade, as required, to give a brighter smile.
After preparation, the tooth will look the same but will feel less smooth. In some cases, a temporary cover may be placed over the tooth, until the veneer is ready for fitting. Once the veneer is ready, any temporary cover is easily removed, and the veneer will be tested in place to ensure there are no imperfections, before it is cemented into place. Adhesive is applied to the back of the veneer, then, as it is placed into position, a bright light, known as a curing light, is used to set it. Your dentist will check to ensure that you are happy with the veneer and that your bite is correct, making any small adjustment that may be needed.
Caring for Veneers +
Veneers should last for many years. However, veneers can be broken, chipped and cracked the same way as natural teeth can. Small chips may be repairable, or the veneer can be replaced. Regular visits to your dentist and dental hygienist are recommended, where they can check and clean the veneer and recommend an appropriate home care regime.

The team are wonderful and very helpful. The dentist I saw was Dr Hema Rajah, who was absolutely amazing and a true artist at dentistry.
A big thank you to Dr Hema Rajah, Sophie, Abbey and Lucie.
I can honestly highly recommend North Lane Dental Practice to anyone (especially nervous patients).






Dr Hema and Sophie have been so helpful with advising me the best procedure to suit my needs and I feel completely at ease with them and trust them fully.
Abbey on reception has been so lovely and happy to answer any queries that I have.
For the first time in a long time, I actually look forward to my dental appointments.
I can’t wait to see my finished results in the months to come and would absolutely recommend to all!












From booking appointments, to the actual treatment and surgery. Everything is to the highest standard, and the friendly staff add to brilliant atmosphere.

Although originally very nervous and self conscious all the staff have been amazing and my dentist Dr Hema Rajah could not have been more patient and caring. After just a few months of Invisalign treatment my teeth already look so much better and I can’t wait to see the finished article. Little things make such a difference, a warm welcome when you arrive, a genuine catch up, plenty of parking, and appointments being always on time are just a few of the things that make this practice exceptional.




I love my new smile and look forward to seeing all the staff every time I visit! Lucie was so helpful and in all a lovely person thank you for all the chats and laughs never a dull moment when I arrive for my dental appointments :D Dr Hema is just amazing at what she does! thank you for being so helpful and getting my teeth so perfect they really are better then I ever expected!
