Before you ask

Every question we actually get.

Collected from twelve years of first consultations, answered the way we’d answer them across a table. If yours isn’t here, the free hour exists precisely for it.

The worries

Honestly: you’ll feel the anaesthetic for about three seconds, and that’s usually the last thing you feel. Most veneer patients watch a film through treatment. If you’re anxious, sedation takes even the memory away — and a raised hand stops everything, instantly.

Then you’re our most common patient, not our most difficult one. Say the word ‘nervous’ when you book and we’ll schedule extra time, keep the first visit instrument-free, and walk you through sedation options from headphones to IV twilight.

The most reliable compliment our patients report is that nobody guessed. We keep whites inside what nature does, copy the tiny asymmetries that make teeth look real, and you approve a trial smile in your own mirror before anything is permanent.

No. We’ve heard every reason and most of them are ours too. You’ll get a plan, not a telling-off — and the plan starts from wherever you actually are.

The money

Veneers from £780 per tooth, implants from £2,400, Invisalign from £2,900 — but the honest answer arrives after your free consultation, as one written figure that includes everything. That number never moves once you’ve seen it.

Yes — 0% finance over 12 months, longer terms from 5.9% APR. A full veneer case from £86 a month. We’ll show you the arithmetic before you commit to anything.

Where your plan covers treatment we invoice Bupa, AXA and Cigna directly, so you never chase a reimbursement form. Purely cosmetic work usually isn’t covered — we’ll tell you which is which in writing.

Really. Sixty minutes, a scan if you’d like one, a written plan and a fixed price — all free, all yours to keep, even if we never see you again.

The practical

Veneers: three visits across about three weeks. A single implant: one surgery, then a crown twelve weeks later. Invisalign: six to fourteen months. Same-day CEREC crowns: one appointment, start to finish.

Porcelain veneers last fifteen to twenty years planned properly — ours carry a ten-year written guarantee. Implants, cared for, are effectively for life. Nothing we place is designed to be redone.

12 Wimpole Street, Marylebone — seven minutes’ walk from Bond Street station, nine from Oxford Circus. Q-Park Harley Street is four minutes away and we validate.

You call the practice and you get the dentist who treated you — not a call centre. Same-week appointments for anything that worries you, at no charge if it relates to our work. That’s written down too.
