Facings
A smile that suits you
At De Mond van Leiden, we view veneers not as a standard cosmetic procedure, but as a refined way to subtly enhance your smile. Our guiding principle is always a natural result that suits your face, appearance, and personality. We never strive for an “artificial” smile, but for a harmonious whole in which you feel confident, without it being visible that a treatment has taken place.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin shields of composite or porcelain that are placed on the front of your teeth. With these, we can improve the shape, color, and position of your teeth in a subtle and controlled manner. The result is not a new smile, but a refined version of your own teeth. Veneers are ideal for aesthetically correcting minor irregularities while preserving your natural appearance.
When do you choose veneers?
Facings are often chosen for:
- discolored teeth that do not respond to bleaching
- minor misalignments or asymmetry
- broken or worn teeth
- small gaps between teeth
- a general wish for a more aesthetically pleasing smile
The treatment process
A veneer treatment always begins with a personal consultation. We take ample time to map out your wishes, expectations, and possibilities.
- Step 1 – Analysis of your smile. We look not only at your teeth, but at your entire face, smile line, and overall appearance. This creates a complete aesthetic picture.
- Step 2 – Personal treatment plan. Together, we discuss what you find beautiful and what best suits your situation technically and aesthetically.
- Step 3 – Preparation. Depending on the type of facing, a very thin layer of the tooth is prepared. This is done carefully and as minimally as possible.
- Step 4 – Placement of the veneers. The veneers are placed with precision and immediately adjusted for a natural fit and appearance.
- Step 5 – Finishing and inspection. We ensure a refined finish so that the teeth blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Natural results are central.
With veneers, it is not about perfection, but about balance.
We always pay attention to:
- a color that suits your skin and face
- a natural shape of the teeth
- symmetry without overcorrection
- a smile that suits you
