Is it painful having porcelain veneers fitted?
Before the treatment begins, our dentist will use a local anaesthetic to numb the area, ensuring you don’t not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity, but this should subside within a few days.
-
How do I look after my porcelain veneers?
It is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily. This will help remove any plaque or debris that may accumulate around the veneers. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also necessary to ensure the health and durability of your porcelain veneers.

Do I need a veneer or a crown?
We’ll talk to you about your options when you visit us for your consultation. Factors such as the extent of the damage, tooth structure, and the desired outcome will influence whether we recommend you have a veneer or a crown.

How long do porcelain veneers last?
Dental veneers can last anywhere between 10 to 15 years with proper care and maintenance. However, it is important to note that their longevity depends on various factors such as oral hygiene practices, diet, and habits like teeth grinding. In case of any damage or wear, veneers can be repaired or replaced.

Will my veneers match my other teeth?
Veneers can be custom-made to match the shade of your natural teeth. This ensures a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Will I be able to eat crunchy food with dental veneers?
Dental veneers are fairly durable and can withstand normal biting and chewing forces. We’ll advise you on particular crunchy food items it might be best to avoid, when you visit for your consultation.

Can anyone have dental veneers fitted?
We’ll assess your suitability for veneers when you visit our dentist for your consultation. If your tooth is very badly damaged, we may recommend you opt for a crown instead, as this will offer the tooth more protection.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. A versatile solution for chipped, stained and worn down edges, veneers are designed to improve the shape, size, colour, and overall aesthetics of your teeth, giving you a natural-looking and beautiful smile. With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last for many years, making them a worthwhile investment in enhancing your smile.
Perfect fit
Enhance your smile and effectively hide tooth imperfections
During your initial visit to our dental clinic in Leicester, we’ll take impressions of your teeth that will be sent to a dental laboratory where the veneers are fabricated. On your next visit, our dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the front surfaces. Finally, our dentist will carefully bond the veneers to the teeth using a dental adhesive. This ensures a strong and durable bond between the veneers and your natural teeth. We always aim for a perfect fit and a natural appearance, ensuring your smile benefits hugely from the procedure.

X-rays or an iTero digital scan may be taken to get a detailed view of the teeth and underlying structures. The dentist will then explain the procedure, benefits, and potential risks of getting porcelain veneers.
