Christmas is well on its way and what better way to treat yourself or a loved one than with a set of dental veneers. Tailor made to suit your natural teeth, here at Woodborough House we can offer Da Vinci, Lumineers and Macveneers to repair the look of damaged, crooked or discoloured teeth.
A beautiful smile can do wonders for your confidence levels and transform the way people perceive you, which is why when you come to Woodborough House we will assess your case individually. We understand that each case differs from patient to patient and depending on how complex the treatment required is, we will determine the most suitable type of veneers for your teeth.
Different Kinds of Veneers
There are numerous kind of veneers and choosing the ones to suit you is what can be decided upon during a consultation. A popular choice is Lumineers which can be custom made for your teeth. The porcelain is bonded onto the front of the teeth without any ‘grinding’ or ‘shaving’ that many veneers require. However, Lumineers may not be suitable in all cases, so it is up to the discretion of the dentist as to whether to advise them or not.
Mac veneers can be a good choice as they are made with pressed ceramics. Made in the US, Mac veneers are stain resistant so they provide protection for your teeth, and can be matched from the inside to the outer shell of the veneer which ensures as close a colour match as possible.
Da Vinci Veneers are another option you might want to consider. Developed in California, these type of veneers employ a thin sheet of porcelain that adheres to each tooth, and once treated, mould perfectly to teeth to help enhance your smile. The veneer will be designed to match and compliment the hue of your teeth, making them look very natural.
Dr Mark Hughes specialises in all of the above veneers and uses them mostly at the Harley Street Dental Studio practice. Mark collaborates with Dr Nick Fahey to offer these treatments to Woodborough House patients. Dr Nick Fahey, Woodborough House practice owner prefers to use porcelain veneers and utilises one of the best technicians in Europe to see the job done.
Prices for veneers are as follows; Lumineers from £500 per unit, Da Vinci from £700 per unit, Mac veneers start from £900 and veneers with Nick start from £950.
For more information, or to book a free consultation with one of our dentists about veneers, please call 0118 984 3108 where one of our staff will be able to help.

Do you long for a ‘perfect’ celebrity smile? Porcelain veneers may be the answer. They are thin custom-made shells designed to cover the front side of teeth. Made of tooth-coloured materials, they are used to treat spaces between teeth and teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked.
Here at Woodborough House we offer a range of leading porcelain veneers, including; bespoke veneers made by the very best technicians, Da Vinci veneers, Cerinate Lumineers and Macveneers.
Each case differs from patient to patient depending on how complex their treatment is and which type of veneer the patient and dentist think is most suitable. For patients interested in having dental veneers, we offer a consultation appointment where individual suitability for veneers is discussed, the procedure explained in detail, and an estimate of the cost of the treatment is provided.
Da Vinci veneers are developed in California and employ a thin sheet of porcelain that adheres to each tooth and, once treated, mould perfectly to enhance your smile. The veneer will match and compliment the hue of your teeth, making them look incredibly natural.
Cerinate Lumineers are porcelain veneers, custom-made for your teeth. The porcelain is bonded onto the front of your teeth without any ‘grinding’ or ‘shaving’ that many veneers require.
Macveneers are the preferred choice in porcelain veneers among many celebrities and public figures. They are made with pressed ceramics so are stain resistant and provide added protection for your teeth. Colour matching is applied all the way from the inside to the outer shell of the veneer, to provide you with the closest colour match possible. All our Macveneers are made in the U.S.
At Woodborough House, cosmetic dentist Dr Mark Hughes specialises in all the above veneers and uses them mostly at the Harley Street Dental Studio.
Dr Nick Fahey prefers to use porcelain veneers and uses one of the best technician’s in Europe. He also specialises in advanced cosmetic dentistry as well as fixed and removable prosthodontics.
One dental technician we use is Rob, the owner and lead technician at Ken Poland’s Dental Laboratory. He has collaborated with us on cases for over 10 years. In our opinion Rob is one of the best technicians in England and provides treatment for only a few select clients. His work has been featured on such UK reality television shows as “10 Years Younger”.
We also use Nicky, from Precision Dental Studio near Newbury, for those patients who wish to have a more local laboratory to visit for their shade taking appointments. Nicky has a wonderful eye for aesthetics and produces beautifully handcrafted individual teeth for her clients.
Prices for the veneers start with Lumineers at around £500 per unit, Da Vinci veneers from £700 per unit and MacVeneers from £900 per unit. Veneers with Nick start from £950 per unit.
For more information, why not drop us a call where one of our friendly staff will be more than happy to help you.

It was an exciting day for us when the new Itero machine arrived at the practice. We all wanted to have a play and get our mitts on the new scanner!
Our reps from Straumann came to introduce us to our new gadget, and spent the day with us explaining how the Itero works and how to use it. It really is quite fantastic, and I don’t think any of us quite expecting how hi-tech and amazing this machine is. When it came to using the machine, we all had to be trained how we use it, how we capture images of the teeth, and how these images can then produce 3D models of the patients teeth and soft tissues. We were all guinea pigs for the day, because in order to train how to use it, we needed to practice on each other. I personally took this opportunity to get my own back on Sen………………only kidding. It took some getting used to, but I think we all got the hang of it in the end. Obviously as we are new to this, it took us longer to complete scans than usual. The rep promised us that eventually, this will become second nature, and our scans will be quick once we have mastered it. She even showed us a clip on YouTube of a dentist in America, who has had the iTero for some time, who completely a full scan of a patients quadrant in 1 minute 9 secs!! That’s it……………….. the heat is on. My mission now is to beat that record

Last night the team at WH hosted an event for our referring dentists as a way of thanking them for sending their patients to us for specific treatments. As we have it all under one roof, dentists from all over the county refer their patients to us. Whether they need to see Lama our Periodontist for gum treatment or surgery, Raquel our Endodontist for complex Root Canal treatment, Caroline for anti-wrinkle treatments, or Nick our Prosthodontist for Implants, surgery, crowns, veneers or dentures. We have it all under one roof!
We hosted a James Bond themed night at The Forbury Hotel in Reading, with Martini’s (shaken not stirred) on arrival, food, and the chance to watch a 007 film in their private cinema(popcorn included). It was a great chance to meet up with the dentists, and especially great to put names to faces. The night was great and I hope all enjoyed watching Daniel Craig do his 007 thing. I sure did! We will be holding regular events for our Ivory Club members throughout the year. We love to hear feedback, both positive and negative, regarding our events, and would love to hear any suggestions you may have for the next meeting. Nick and Sarah are also thinking of organising a “study club” for dentists, so i will keep you posted.
The team at Woodborough House would like to thank our colleagues for thinking of us when treating your patients, and thank you for attending our evening. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

It has been manic at the practice today! All the team have been working really hard to get all our patients sorted and happy before the Christmas Holidays.
Sen had a lovely lady in interested in improving her smile. She has had a crown on her front tooth, but wants to have it redone for cosmetic reasons. The only thing that is holding her back is finance. Here at Woodborough House we can offer our patients a 0% finace scheme, when treatment costs reach a certain threshold. This enables you to start treatment, but spread the cost over the year. You can use the finace to help pay for crowns, dentures, bridges, veneers, implants, and cosmetic treatment. This is just one the many things Woodborough House can do for you to help make you visit here more pleasurable, and to keep you all smiling.
