Are you unhappy with previous private dental treatments? Bespoke Smile can help.

Your smile is the first thing someone notices about you. But if you have oral issues that affect your teeth and gums, you may not feel comfortable or self-confident. Here at Bespoke Smile, we know that each smile is different, and we believe the treatment you receive for your smile should be just as unique. We offer a range of cosmetic restorative dentistry treatments to support you on your journey to a beautiful smile, but first, we’ll help you understand the best treatment for you depending on your needs.

Our Smile Concern Guide is designed to help you better understand the many options available to you to help improve your smile. We’re here to help you identify your concerns and explore the many ways we can enhance your smile.

How long does dentistry last, and are you ready for replacement work?

Unfortunately, most dental treatments are not designed to last forever. Over time, wear, damage, or ageing materials can impact their appearance and function. Knowing how long most dental treatments typically last can help you determine whether it’s time for an upgrade.


At Bespoke Smile, our expert team can assess older dental work and offer high-quality replacements that restore both the function and beauty of your smile. Whether you need to refresh a single composite filling or overhaul a full set of porcelain restorations, we’ll guide you through your options and deliver results designed to last.

Composite Restorations:
Composite fillings or bonding typically last between 5–7 years. If you notice discoloration, chipping, or deterioration, it may be time to replace them with a fresh restoration for a more seamless and natural look.
Porcelain Veneers:
Porcelain dental work, such as veneers or crowns, generally lasts 15–20 years. While durable, porcelain can still develop cracks and discoloration at the edges, or lose its fit due to changes in your natural teeth or gums.
Bridges and Crowns:
Dental bridges and crowns are designed to provide long-term stability, but they too can wear down, typically lasting between 15–20 years. If you’ve experienced loosening, discomfort, or aesthetic issues, it may be time to explore replacement options!

Replacing Composite Restorations

If your composite fillings or bonding are showing signs of wear, discoloration, or chips, you’re not alone. Composite restorations, while versatile and effective, typically last around 5–7 years before they need to be replaced. At Bespoke Smile, we offer treatments to replace aging or unsatisfactory composite work with modern, high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Whether you’re unhappy with the private dental treatment you’ve received in the past or simply need to refresh aging restorations, we can help you achieve a result that’s durable, functional, and aesthetically flawless.

Replacing Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneer restorations are designed to be long-lasting but aren’t immune to wear and tear over time. On average, porcelain veneers last between 15–20 years, though poor craftsmanship or changes in your teeth and gums can shorten their lifespan.

If you’re wondering “What happens when veneers need replacing?” then don’t worry; Bespoke Smile offers a solution tailored to your needs. Whether you’re unhappy with dental treatment from a previous provider or your veneers are simply nearing the end of their lifespan, we specialise in removing old restorations carefully and replacing them with beautifully crafted, natural-looking porcelain that enhances your smile.

Replacing Dental Bridges and Crowns

Dental bridges and crowns play a vital role in restoring function and aesthetics to your smile, but they don’t last forever. Typically, they require replacement after 15–20 years due to wear, damage, or changes in your oral structure. If your bridge or crown feels loose, uncomfortable, or doesn’t look as good as it once did, Bespoke Smile can help.

We have even had patients visit us who have been extremely unhappy with work they already had completed (“My dentist messed up my teeth; what can I do?”) but our expert team is skilled in addressing and correcting unsatisfactory work. We’ll assess your existing restorations, remove them with care, and provide replacements that are not only secure and functional but also designed to match the beauty of your natural teeth.

FAQs Common Questions About Replacing Dental Work:

Veneers typically last 15–20 years with proper care, but their lifespan can vary depending on the material, your oral hygiene, and habits such as grinding your teeth or biting hard objects. Over time, veneers may develop cracks, discolouration, or lose their fit as your gums or teeth naturally change.

If your veneers are showing signs of wear or are nearing the end of their lifespan, it may be time to consider replacement. At Bespoke Smile, we specialise in replacing veneers to restore your smile’s beauty and function.
When veneers need replacing, the process involves carefully removing the old veneers and assessing the underlying teeth for any necessary preparation. We’ll then craft new, bespoke veneers tailored to fit perfectly, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

At Bespoke Smile, we use the latest materials and techniques to provide durable, beautiful replacements that match or exceed the quality of your original veneers.
If you’re unhappy with dental treatment or feel your dentist has left you with unsatisfactory results, you don’t have to settle. At Bespoke Smile, we specialise in corrective work, addressing issues such as poor fit, discomfort, or aesthetics that don’t meet your expectations.

Our experienced team will evaluate your current dental work, listen to your concerns, and create a tailored plan to restore your confidence in your smile.

Over time, dental restorations may show signs of wear, such as discolouration, cracks, or looseness. If your dental work feels uncomfortable, looks aged, or no longer functions as it should, it might be time for a professional assessment.

Replacing dental restorations is typically a comfortable process. At Bespoke Smile, we prioritise your comfort with advanced techniques and, when needed, local anaesthesia or sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience. If you’re concerned, take a look at our page for Nervous Patients.

Yes! Modern dental materials and techniques have advanced significantly, allowing us to replace outdated or poor-quality work with stronger, more natural-looking restorations designed to last longer and look better than ever.

The cost depends on the type of restoration being replaced and your individual treatment plan. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of costs and discuss options to suit your needs and budget.
