Composite or porcelain? They are two different materials, not two grades of the same one.

Composite bonding is tooth-coloured material added to the tooth and shaped in place, in the chair. It stains, chips and wears, and we would expect about five years from it.

Porcelain veneers are made for your teeth by a ceramist. Porcelain does not stain, it is of a similar strength to a natural tooth, and the standard answer for how long it lasts is fifteen to twenty years.

Neither is the better treatment in the abstract. They answer different questions.

Can receding gums grow back?

No, gum tissue can't regrow on its own. But Dr Manrina Rhode of DRMR Clinic in Knightsbridge, London explains how a periodontist can treat gum recession so it no longer shows.

Option one: the gums are pulled back down and stitched into a new position.
Option two: a gingival graft (gum graft). A small piece of tissue is taken from the palate and stitched where the gum should be.

It isn't new gum growing, but these receding gum treatments mean the recession is no longer visible.

Composite bonding vs Porcelain veneers...

Which do you think looks more natural?

Dan came in to see us at with old composite bonding which had been done elsewhere. He told us he didn't like the bulky look of his previous composite, and wanted to go more natural.

We created a stunning, undetectable DRMR smile with porcelain veneers.

Take a day out of clinic with us 👀✨

Our team spent the day at the MiSmile Conference 2026, the UK event where dental teams see what's coming next in smile care.

Vanessa and Rosie know the clinical side inside out.
As the content creator, I went in with fresh eyes, and here's what I found exciting (from a non-dental pov).

- Clear aligners are evolving. Align Technology, the company behind Invisalign, showed us new 3D-printed aligners. In development, they had to invent a whole new polymer to get the texture of the aligners right. (I went home and told everyone I know about this - so cool.)

- AI-assisted smile design. iTero showed software that helps design crowns and veneers digitally.

- AI, but make it human. We heard a talk on using new tech without losing the personal care you come to us for.

- And Sara Davies from Dragons' Den opened the day with a business Q&A.

A moment which really stood out to me was:
A patient's before photo, shy and hiding her smile, next to her after photo, crying happy tears.
It's so important to have a real connection with our patients - especially as new technology is evolving.

Then came the Illuminate Gala 🥂 Prosecco, a three-course dinner, and a Punjabi drum band. And of course Dr Manrina Rhode, started the dance floor for everyone 💃 The whole team followed, and we danced until the end of the night.

Learning hard, celebrating harder! Your smile is in good hands 🤍

Can you bite into an apple with veneers?

Yes. Dr Manrina Rhode of DRMR Clinic in Knightsbridge, London explains: whatever you can eat with your natural teeth, you can eat with porcelain veneers.

The rule is simple: things that break teeth will break veneers. So avoid biting fingernails, opening packets or tearing Sellotape with your teeth. Teeth are not tools.

Sandwiches, apples, normal food and drink are all fine with veneers.

Save this if you're wondering what you can eat with veneers.

Will people be able to tell? If you have ever thought about veneers, that is probably the worry sitting underneath all the others.

People will notice a change, because your smile will have changed. What you want is for them to put it down to you looking well.

When veneers are noticed, it is for the same three reasons: too white, too blocky or too uniform. Swipe for what each one means, and the part people do not expect.

Biofilm and tartar are not the same thing, and they do not come off the same way.

Biofilm is soft and lifts away with warm water and a fine powder. Tartar is hardened and needs an instrument, which we use only where the disclosing has shown it.

We will tell you which one you have. Book your hygiene appointment here: https://vist.ly/5kevg

Tea, coffee and red w**e, lifted away.

Stain removal is the part patients see straight away. AIRFLOW, part of our dental hygiene clean, takes it off the surface of the tooth with warm water, air and a fine powder.

DRMR patient, shared with permission.

Tea, coffee or red w**e? Tell us in the comments which one is yours.

How often should you actually see the hygienist?

Every six months for most people. Every three months if you have veneers or implants, because the margins where a restoration meets the tooth are where biofilm gathers first.

Count back to your last one. Then book the next: https://vist.ly/5jtkj

Teeth hold the lower face up. So we think the person treating one should understand the other.

Meet Dr Vicky Bu. Vicky is a cosmetic dentist who also does facial aesthetics. She trained at King's College London, then took a Level 7 qualification in facial aesthetics on Harley Street, and she carries out the full range of facial aesthetic treatments we offer at the clinic.

Her approach is deliberately restrained: proportion, balance, and work that reads as nothing much having been done. Less is more is her own phrase for it.

She was shortlisted for Young Dentist of the Year at The Dental Awards 2026, and she speaks Mandarin.

Vicky is in on Mondays. Read more about her: https://vist.ly/5jnq2
