Teeth Whitening vs Veneers
Both can give you a brighter smile. Whitening changes the colour of your natural teeth; veneers change colour and shape.

Choose whitening if…
- Your teeth are healthy and well shaped, just darker than you'd like
- You want the least invasive option
- You're considering veneers later — whitening first lets them match a brighter shade
Choose veneers if…
The right choice depends on your teeth, bite and goals — a consultation (£50, redeemable against treatment booked within 30 days) confirms what suits you.
- Staining doesn't respond to whitening
- You also want to change shape, length or symmetry
- You have visible crowns or fillings that won't whiten
