Veneers in Croydon
28 dental practices in Croydon publish what they charge for veneers. Half of them ask between £475 and £945 for a tooth, and the middle price is £700 — 4% below the London index figure of £730 for veneers (the median of the 10 borough medians we publish). The figures below are those practices' own published fees, read in August 2026, each one linked to the practice and its CQC registration. They are not quotes: what you pay depends on what the examination finds. Veneers are cosmetic in almost all cases, so the NHS does not cover them.
| Option | Cost (per tooth) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Private — lower | £500 | 25th percentile of 29 Croydon fee guides |
| Private — upper | £945 | 75th percentile |
| NHS | Not covered | Cosmetic / private-only |
How this is worked out. Every figure comes from a price list the practice publishes itself. We drop “from” prices, which describe the cheapest possible case rather than a price, and variants narrower than the treatment named. 28 Croydon practices remain. The middle price across all 10 boroughs we cover is £730. How we read a fee guide.
- The Croydon median is £700 — 10% below the median of all 313 veneers prices published across those 10 boroughs (£775).
- That makes Croydon the 7th most expensive of those 10 boroughs for this treatment.
- The middle half of prices runs £475–£945 (a £470 range), a wide spread: the borough has distinct budget and premium tiers. The full range is £185–£1,400.
- 28 of the 84 CQC-registered practices in Croydon publish a price for this treatment (33%); the figures describe those 28, not the whole borough.
- 6 practices list exactly £945 — the single most common published price in Croydon.
- All figures are per tooth, taken from each practice's own fee guide, so they can be compared like for like.

Why do some Croydon practices list under half the median?
4 of 28 published prices are below £350: Dental Practice (£185), Smile Dental Practice (£245), Mayfield Dental (£250). A figure this far below the borough median is often a narrower product than the rest of the table (a single session, a top-up, or an introductory offer) — check what the practice's fee guide includes before comparing.
Why does the same practice name appear twice?
3 names recur (Purley Dental Care / Purley Dental Practice; Gentle Dental Care - Whitehorse Road / Gentle Dental Care - Whitehorse Road). The CQC registers each location separately, and some practices hold two registrations at one address. Each row links to its own CQC registration and each row is counted in the figures above; if the pair is one practice, read it as a single price point.

28 Croydon practices publish this fee. Each figure is the practice's own published price, read August 2026; narrower variants (“from” prices, child or temporary work) are excluded. Sorted lowest first.
A low figure is a real published fee, not a quote — complexity can change the price. Always confirm. How we verify
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain or composite bonded to the front of a tooth to change its colour, shape or alignment. Porcelain lasts longer; composite is cheaper and reversible.
Porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed, so the tooth will always need a veneer or crown afterwards — they are irreversible. “No-prep” veneers exist but suit only some cases; composite veneers, by contrast, are often reversible.
Ask for the practice’s repair policy in writing: what happens if a veneer debonds or chips in the first year. Many London dentists offer composite as a lower-cost “trial smile” before committing to porcelain.
Porcelain veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel, so they are irreversible. Composite veneers add material to the tooth and can often be removed or repaired.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years; composite 4 to 8 years before they need replacing or refreshing.
Veneers are a cosmetic treatment and are not available on the NHS. Beware very low "package" prices advertised for full sets — quality of materials and clinician skill vary widely.

No. Veneers are cosmetic and private-only, unless there is a clinical reason such as trauma, which is assessed case by case.
