Nail Reconstruction

If you have a partially missing nail, a damaged nail, or a nail affected by fungal infection, our Nail Reconstruction service can help restore the appearance of a natural-looking toenail. Using the Toeflex method, we carefully rebuild the nail to improve both confidence and comfort.

Completely Tailored to You

We’ll assess the nail and surrounding skin first to ensure reconstruction is suitable and safe. If you have an active fungal infection, we may recommend treating the infection alongside reconstruction to support longer-lasting results.

Rebuild the Nail

Nail reconstruction can:

  • Rebuild part or all of the nail for a natural finish

  • Improve the look of the nail while the natural nail grows

  • Be pain-free and non-invasive

  • Fit easily around day-to-day life — no downtime

Your clinician will advise how to care for the reconstructed nail and how often it may need maintaining, depending on your lifestyle and nail growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is nail reconstruction? Nail reconstruction is a cosmetic treatment that rebuilds damaged, missing, or unsightly toenails using a specialist gel. The result is a natural-looking nail that can be filed, shaped, and even painted. It's ideal for nails damaged by fungal infections, trauma, or ongoing conditions.

How long does a reconstructed nail last? A reconstructed nail typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks before it needs maintenance or replacement, depending on how quickly your natural nail grows and your activity level. We can maintain the nail at your regular foot care appointments.

Is nail reconstruction painful? No, nail reconstruction is completely painless. The gel is applied to the existing nail or nail bed without any drilling or discomfort. Most patients find the process comfortable and are delighted with the cosmetic result.

Can I paint or use nail varnish on a reconstructed nail? Yes, you can apply nail varnish over a reconstructed nail just as you would a natural nail. This is one of the great benefits — it gives you the confidence to wear open-toed shoes and sandals again.
