Veneers in Leicester
Natural-looking porcelain and composite veneers from an experienced cosmetic team. Our goal at EverySmile is always a result that looks genuinely beautiful and completely natural to your face.
What Happens at a Veneers Appointment at EverySmile
Your journey starts with a free consultation where our dentist assesses your teeth, listens to what you would like to change and recommends the most appropriate type of veneer for your situation. We talk through the process, the timeline and what to expect at every stage before anything is agreed.
For porcelain veneers, the teeth are gently prepared under local anaesthetic and a precise digital scan or impression is taken and sent to our dental laboratory. Temporary veneers are fitted while your permanent ones are being made, so your teeth are protected and presentable throughout. Once your veneers arrive from the laboratory, they are fitted carefully, the shape, shade and fit are checked thoroughly and any final adjustments are made before they are bonded permanently into place. A follow-up appointment a few weeks later ensures everything has settled and you are completely happy with the result.
What Your Veneer Treatment Includes
- Free consultation and treatment planning Our dentist assesses your teeth, discusses your goals and recommends the most appropriate veneer option for your situation. The process, timeline and costs are explained clearly before any treatment is agreed.
- Tooth preparation For porcelain veneers, a very thin layer of enamel is removed from the front surface of each tooth to create space for the veneer to sit flush. This is carried out under local anaesthetic and the amount removed is minimal.
- Digital scan or impression A precise digital scan or impression is taken of the prepared teeth and sent to our dental laboratory, where your custom veneers are crafted to exact specifications of size, shape and shade.
- Temporary veneers While your permanent veneers are being made, temporary veneers protect your prepared teeth and keep them looking presentable between appointments.
- Fitting your permanent veneers Once your veneers arrive from the laboratory, our dentist checks the fit, colour and shape carefully before bonding them permanently in place. Any final adjustments are made at this stage.
- Review appointment A follow-up appointment a few weeks after fitting ensures everything has settled well and you are completely satisfied with your result.
When Do People Consider Veneers?
You do not have to have dramatically damaged or misaligned teeth to benefit from veneers. Many patients who come to us have teeth that are broadly fine but that they have never felt truly happy with. Perhaps they are slightly uneven. Perhaps the colour has never responded to whitening the way they hoped. Perhaps the shape just does not quite match the smile they picture when they imagine feeling genuinely confident about their teeth.
Others come to us after years of wanting to do something significant about their smile and finally deciding the time is right. A significant birthday, a career change, a milestone they want to mark in some way. Veneers are also frequently the final step in a wider smile journey, chosen after whitening and composite bonding have already improved the smile and the patient wants to take things as far as possible. Whatever stage you are at, a free consultation is the most straightforward way to find out what is possible for your specific teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Veneers
- The most dramatic cosmetic result available Veneers can transform the colour, shape, size and alignment of multiple teeth simultaneously, producing results that no other single treatment can match in terms of overall impact.
- Natural-looking, long-lasting results Porcelain closely mimics the translucency and light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. A well-made set of porcelain veneers is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Stain-resistant porcelain Unlike natural enamel, porcelain does not absorb staining from tea, coffee or red wine. Your veneers will maintain their shade far more reliably than natural teeth over time.
- Longevity that justifies the investment With proper care and regular check-ups, porcelain veneers can last ten to fifteen years and often considerably longer. Composite veneers typically last five to seven years.
- A solution for concerns that other treatments cannot fully address Significant discolouration, irregular tooth shapes and minor misalignment that has not responded well to other treatments can all be addressed effectively with veneers.
- Improved confidence in everyday life The patients who benefit most from veneers are not those chasing perfection. They are people who have spent years feeling self-conscious about their smile and who finally feel at ease in photographs, in conversations and in rooms full of people.
Porcelain Veneers Versus Composite Veneers, Which Is Right for You?
Both options can produce excellent results and the right choice depends on your teeth, your goals and how you weigh up longevity against cost and reversibility.
Porcelain Veneers | Composite Veneers | |
How they are made | Custom crafted in a dental laboratory | Applied directly to the tooth chairside |
Appointments needed | Two appointments | Single appointment |
Longevity | Ten to fifteen years or more | Five to seven years |
Aesthetics | Superior translucency, closest to natural enamel | Excellent results in skilled hands |
Reversibility | Irreversible, minor tooth preparation required | More reversible, minimal preparation |
Best suited for | Patients wanting the highest-quality, longest-lasting result | Patients wanting significant improvement at a lower cost |
Our dentist will walk you through both options honestly at your consultation and give you a genuine recommendation based on your specific teeth and your goals. There is no pressure to choose the more expensive option if the alternative serves you just as well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers in Leicester
Porcelain veneers require a small amount of tooth preparation which makes the process irreversible, meaning the teeth will always need to be covered by a veneer or another restoration going forward. The veneers themselves will eventually need replacing, typically after ten to fifteen years or more. Composite veneers are a more reversible option as they require little to no tooth preparation.
The preparation stage is carried out under local anaesthetic so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity in the days following preparation, particularly to temperature, but this usually settles once the permanent veneers are fitted. Our team will manage any sensitivity carefully throughout the process.
This depends entirely on your goals and which teeth you want to improve. Some patients have a single veneer on a damaged or discoloured tooth. Others choose six, eight or ten veneers across the visible smile. Our dentist will recommend the number that achieves the result you are looking for in the most conservative and cost-effective way.
Veneers can improve the appearance of mildly misaligned teeth by covering the front surface and creating a more even, symmetrical look. For more significant misalignment, Invisalign is usually a better long-term solution. In some cases patients choose to straighten first and have veneers placed afterwards for the best overall result. Our dentist will give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation.
Brush and floss regularly, attend your hygiene appointments and avoid using veneered teeth to bite into very hard objects. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant but minimising heavy consumption of staining food and drink will help keep the surrounding natural teeth looking their best alongside the veneers over time.
