Veneers Leicester – A Smile You'll Love

Q: How long do veneers last?

Dental veneers typically last between 10 and 15 years with good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and proper care.

Q: What are veneers made from?

Veneers can be made from porcelain, which is custom-made in a dental laboratory, or composite resin, which is applied directly to the tooth.

Q: Are veneers expensive?

The cost of veneers depends on the number of veneers required and whether porcelain or composite veneers are chosen. Full pricing is available on our fees page.

Q: What are the negatives of veneers?

Veneers require the removal of a small amount of enamel, making the treatment irreversible. They can also chip if not cared for properly.

Q: Veneers or crowns, which is right for me?

Veneers are suitable for cosmetic improvements on healthy teeth, while dental crowns are generally recommended for teeth that are significantly damaged or weakened.

Q: Are veneers suitable if I have receding gums?

Suitability depends on the extent of the gum recession. Your dentist will assess your oral health during your consultation before recommending treatment.

Stained, chipped, or unevenly shaped teeth can affect how confident you feel about your smile.

At The Windsor Dental Practice, veneers are used to mask the underlying tooth, improving its shape, colour, and sometimes position. Each veneer is crafted by highly skilled technicians, giving a finished result that’s often impossible to tell apart from natural teeth.

Signs Veneers Can Improve

Certain cosmetic concerns respond especially well to veneers. These include:

Gaps between teeth → larger spaces that whitening or bonding alone cannot close
Discolouration or staining → deep stains that airflow cleaning or whitening haven't corrected
Irregular or uneven shapes → teeth that look out of proportion with the rest of your smile
Chipped teeth → damage too significant to repair with a simple filling

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin shells, custom-made to fit over the front of your teeth, changing their shape, colour, and sometimes position. They're often used to give the appearance of a straighter, brighter smile without orthodontic treatment.

Porcelain veneers are crafted in a dental laboratory and fitted over two visits, giving a durable, natural-looking finish. Veneers can also be made from composite resin and applied directly to the tooth in a single visit, more commonly known as composite bonding.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers work best on teeth that are structurally healthy but have a cosmetic concern, such as staining, gaps, or chips. If a tooth is more significantly damaged or weakened, a dental crown may be a better option.

Good candidates for veneers:

Healthy tooth structure → Veneers sit over the existing tooth rather than replacing it

Cosmetic concerns only → ideal for colour, shape, or minor alignment issues

Realistic expectations → suitability is confirmed during your consultation

What Happens During Treatment?

Step 1: Consultation and Assessment

Your dentist examines your teeth and discusses the look you'd like to achieve.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

A small amount of enamel is gently shaped to make room for the veneer.

Step 3: Impressions and Shade Matching

Impressions are taken, and a shade is selected to match your natural teeth.

Step 4: Laboratory Fabrication

Your veneers are custom-made by skilled technicians, usually over one to two weeks.

Step 5: Fitting and Bonding

Once ready, your veneers are checked for fit and securely bonded in place.

Caring for Your Veneers

Avoid biting hard foods directly → cut up tough items like crusty bread or apples instead of biting straight in
Consider a night guard → recommended if you grind or clench your teeth at night
Maintain good oral hygiene → regular brushing and flossing keep the veneers and surrounding gums healthy
Keep up routine visits → regular check-ups and hygienist appointments hygienist appointments help veneers last longer
