Elm Park is around five minutes from us along Abbs Cross Lane, with free parking waiting on Hacton Lane when you arrive. For RM12 patients off the District line at Elm Park station, or anyone passing Elm Park Broadway on the way to Hornchurch or Hacton, the practice is an easy and familiar local journey for cosmetic work like porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells, built by hand and bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, length, colour or alignment. Because the porcelain is so thin, only a fraction of a millimetre of enamel is reshaped first, and the result typically lasts ten to fifteen years.

Porcelain veneers are hand-crafted ceramic shells that last ten to fifteen years, while composite bonding is sculpted directly onto the tooth in one visit and lasts around five to ten years at a lower cost.
Yes, veneers can rebuild and lengthen worn or short front teeth to restore a more even, youthful smile line.
It is not essential, but we often recommend whitening your natural teeth first so we can match the veneers to a brighter shade.
Veneers are usually completed over two to three appointments across a few weeks while your custom porcelain is hand-made.
The small amount of enamel reshaping is permanent, so veneers are a long-term commitment that will eventually need replacing after many years.
Hacton Dental Care is in Hornchurch, a 5 minute drive from Elm Park (RM12) with free on-site parking, and the initial consultation is free.
Closed daily 1.00pm – 2.00pm for lunch.
