A Refreshed Designer Smile: Replacing Old Veneers at The Welbeck Clinic

At The Welbeck Clinic in Marylebone, we’re proud to help our patients maintain and enhance
their smiles. One of our recent cases involved a long-standing patient who came to see us
because her existing porcelain veneers, placed over 12 years ago, had begun to feel loose and
were starting to show signs of cracking and ageing.
Although the patient still loved the shape and colour of her original veneers, she felt it was
time for a refresh. After a thorough consultation with Dr Ilaty, our highly respected award-
winning cosmetic dentist, we designed a personalised treatment plan that involved replacing
the old veneers with 8 new upper porcelain veneers and adding 2 porcelain crowns on either
side for added support and symmetry.

The Consultation Process
At The Welbeck Clinic, our patient journey starts with understanding our patients’ goals and
wishes. Ensuring that every treatment decision is fully informed. In this case, Dr Ilaty took
the time to thoroughly go through and explain the risks and benefits of replacing existing
veneers, as well as the rationale for placing crowns on the adjacent teeth.
We discussed:
 Potential differences in feel or function after the new porcelain veneers are placed.
 Longevity and how to maintain her new designer smile
 Alternatives such as full crowns or composite bonding, and why veneers remained the
perfect option for her smile goals
The patient appreciated the transparent, tailored approach, something she highlighted as such
an important part of the treatment as a whole.

Why We Chose Veneers
Veneers were already a great solution for this patient, and they remained the ideal choice for a
number of reasons:
 Minimal intervention: as the teeth had already been prepped for veneers 12 years ago,
they just needed a freshen up.
 Aesthetic control: Veneers gave us full flexibility to match the existing colour, shape,
and contour that the patient already loved, while revitalising the brightness and polish
for a seamless finish.
 Longevity: With newer, more advanced materials and bonding techniques, the new
porcelain veneers offer greater durability and longevity.
 Seamless integration: The new porcelain veneers and 2 new crowns on either side
ensured a strong, cohesive blend between teeth with existing restorations and those
needing some additional structure.

A Smile That Looks and Feels Brand New
Using precision shade matching and digital smile design, our wonderful laboratory
technicians, hand crafted 8 custom porcelain veneers to complement her facial features while
keeping the natural look she already loved from her previous veneers. The 2 porcelain crowns
blended beautifully on either side, giving her a balanced, refreshed smile with improved
strength and stability.
The results?

– A refreshed version of her original smile
– Stronger bonding for peace of mind and longevity
– A seamless transition between veneers and crowns

Her smile still looked like her—just brighter and fresher.
