At iCare Lab, we are a trusted porcelain veneer dental lab London. Every veneer - whether a single unit or a complete smile makeover - is designed digitally using EXOCAD, milled from genuine IPS e.max lithium disilicate, and hand-characterised by a named GDC-registered technician who has worked closely with cosmetic dentists for years.
At iCare Lab, our cosmetic work is handled by technicians who share that standard. We treat a six-unit veneer case the same way you treat the appointment — as something that needs to be exactly right before it leaves our hands. We use genuine IPS e.max blocks, design every case in EXOCAD, and share design previews for smile makeover cases before anything is milled. Our pricing is published at iCare Lab Prices — no calls needed, no surprises when the invoice arrives. And if you have never worked with us before, your first three cases are complimentary. We would rather earn your confidence through the work than ask for it upfront.
A good Emax veneer does not look like a veneer. It looks like a tooth - but better. The translucency gradient of IPS e.max lithium disilicate allows light to pass through the incisal third the way it does through natural enamel, which is what gives the restoration that lifelike depth that composite simply cannot replicate. We design every Emax veneer in EXOCAD, review the contour and emergence with your shade notes, and mill from genuine IPS e.max CAD blocks.
For patients with heavy bruxism or a history of previous restoration failure where Emax is contraindicated, we offer high-translucency multilayer zirconia veneers as an alternative. The aesthetics are not quite at the Emax level for thin anterior cases, but the additional strength makes it a clinically sound choice when longevity is the priority. Designed and milled from the same digital workflow as our Emax veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain veneers designed for cases where enamel preservation is the primary objective. These require precise CAD/CAM milling at 0.2–0.3mm thickness — a tolerance that simply is not achievable with hand-pressed techniques. We design these digitally, mill to precise spec, and provide individual protective packaging for each unit. Please confirm tooth preparation status and send pre-prep shade photography with these cases
For complete smile transformations involving 6 or more units, we offer a co-ordinated design review process. After receiving your IOS scan and shade documentation, we design the full smile in EXOCAD and share a digital preview before a single unit is milled. This means you can discuss contour, incisal length, and midline position with your patient before committing to the milling stage. We treat these cases as a priority and assign a lead technician for the duration.
Submit Your Case, shade photography, and any pre-op records to your named veneer technician. For multi-unit smile cases, include lip retraction photography and any shade tab images taken in natural light.
Your technician designs the veneers. For 4-unit and above cases, a digital design preview is shared via WhatsApp or email before milling. You can request contour adjustments, incisal length changes, or shade modifications at this stage at no extra cost.
Mill, Crystallise & Characterise Each veneer is milled from genuine IPS e.max CAD blocks, crystallised in our in-house Programat furnaces, and hand-characterised with surface staining to build depth and natural optical variation.

London dental laboratory start from £145 per unit on our Private tier. Premier tier is £180 per unit and Elite is £235.

Our first-choice material for porcelain veneers is genuine IPS e.max CAD lithium disilicate from Ivoclar. We do not substitute generic alternatives. For patients where Emax is clinically contraindicated — typically heavy bruxists — we offer high-translucency multilayer zirconia veneers as a structurally stronger option. Your named technician will advise if you are unsure.
7 working days for single-unit and standard multi-unit veneer cases. For full smile makeover cases involving 6 or more veneers, we include a design preview stage which adds 1 to 2 working days to the overall timeline. Your named technician confirms when you submit. Express service is available for urgent cases.
Yes, for cases of 4 or more units we share a digital EXOCAD design preview before milling. You can request changes to contour, incisal length, and midline position at this stage. We include this as standard — it is one of the reasons cosmetic dentists who send us their first veneer case tend to keep sending them.
Yes, and this is our preferred submission method for veneer work. Digital impressions give us more accurate marginal data than physical impressions for thin anterior cases. We accept files from iTero, Medit, 3Shape TRIOS, and Carestream. Send the files directly to your named technician with shade documentation.
