Veneers in Leiden
Would you like to improve the shape, color, or appearance of one or more teeth? In certain situations, veneers allow us to adjust the visible surface of the teeth for a natural and well-maintained result.
At We Smile Tandartsen in Leiden, we first examine your teeth and discuss your requirements. We then evaluate which options suit your situation and whether veneers are an appropriate treatment.
What does the veneer treatment process involve?
01 — requirements & assessment
We discuss the changes you would like to make to your teeth and assess your dentition. We examine the position, shape, color, and health of your teeth and gums.
02 — treatment plan
We discuss the options that best suit your requirements and your teeth. We consider the desired result and determine which treatment is most appropriate.
03 — preparation & fabrication
The teeth are prepared where necessary, and an impression or digital scan is taken. The ceramic veneers are then individually custom-made.
04 — placement & checking
The veneer is carefully placed and finished. We then check the shape, fit, and bite to ensure a natural and comfortable result.
When can veneers be a solution?
Veneers can be used in certain situations to change the shape, color, or appearance of teeth. For example, if you are bothered by discoloration, minor damage, differences in tooth shape, or gaps between teeth.
Not every tooth is suitable for a veneer. Therefore, we first assess the health of your teeth and gums, your bite, and your requirements. We then discuss which treatment is most appropriate.
Tooth discoloration
Adjusting the shape or size of teeth
Minor damage or wear
Reducing gaps between teeth
Why choose ceramic veneers?
At We Smile Tandartsen, we work exclusively with ceramic veneers. These are individually custom-made and can be precisely matched to the shape and color of your natural teeth.
We deliberately choose ceramic for its excellent aesthetic properties, color stability, and durability. Composite can discolor over time and may require maintenance, repair, or replacement sooner. As a result, the price difference in the long term may be smaller than the initial purchase price suggests.
We assess your teeth and discuss your requirements beforehand. We look at the shape, color, and position of your teeth and discuss what result is realistic and appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ceramic veneers are intended as a durable aesthetic treatment. How long they last varies per person and depends, among other things, on the load on the teeth, oral hygiene, and habits such as teeth grinding or clenching. Regular check-ups help to ensure that the veneers and the surrounding teeth are properly monitored.
For ceramic veneers, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of tooth tissue. The amount of preparation required varies per tooth and depends, among other things, on the position, shape, and desired result. We strive to preserve healthy tooth tissue as much as possible and will discuss this with you beforehand.
Ceramic is highly color-stable and discolors significantly less than composite. However, your natural teeth may change color over time. That is why we pay close attention beforehand to determining a color that naturally matches your teeth.
No, veneers are not the best solution in every situation. The health of your teeth and gums, your bite, the amount of available tooth tissue, and any habits such as teeth grinding play a role. During the initial assessment, we will discuss whether ceramic veneers are suitable for your teeth and what options are available.
