Quick answer: Contact lens veneers are ultra-thin veneers, usually porcelain, bonded to the front of the teeth with little or no enamel removed. They can improve colour, shape and small gaps, and look natural. They suit people with healthy, fairly straight teeth; crowded, heavily worn or dark teeth may need a different option such as aligners, conventional veneers or crowns.

Minimal Tooth Removal

One of the biggest advantages is preservation of your natural tooth structure. There’s no drilling or grinding away healthy tooth material, making them reversible if you ever want to change your approach.

Quick Results

You can achieve a dramatically transformed smile in just one or two visits. Whether you want to close gaps, cover stains, whiten your smile, or correct minor misalignment, contact lens veneers deliver immediate results.

Natural Looking

Because they’re custom made to match your desired shade and shape, the results look incredibly natural. The thin porcelain reflects light beautifully, just like real teeth.

Affordable Alternative

Compared to full smile makeovers with traditional veneers or orthodontics, contact lens veneers are a more budget friendly option. For a limited time only, we’re offering contact lens veneers at just £699 per tooth, so now is the perfect moment to invest in your dream smile.

Who Should Consider Them?

Contact lens veneers work beautifully for:

  • Discoloured teeth that don’t respond to whitening

  • Minor gaps between teeth

  • Slightly chipped or worn edges

  • People wanting to try veneers before committing to traditional ones

They’re less suitable if you have severe decay, very large gaps, or significant bite issues that need orthodontic correction.

The Process

During your first appointment, we’ll discuss your smile goals and show you a preview of what you can expect. We’ll then prepare your teeth, usually just a gentle clean, and take impressions. When your bespoke veneers arrive, we’ll bond them to your teeth with precision and polish them to perfection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between contact lens veneers and normal veneers?

Contact lens veneers are much thinner, so little or no tooth needs to be removed. Conventional porcelain veneers are thicker and usually need some enamel reduced, which makes them better for bigger changes in colour or position.

Are contact lens veneers reversible?

Because little or no enamel is removed, they are more conservative than conventional veneers, but once bonded they should be treated as a long-term commitment and will eventually need replacing.

How long do contact lens veneers last?

Well-made porcelain veneers commonly last ten years or more with good care, regular check-ups and a night guard if you grind your teeth.

How do I find out if I am suitable for veneers in Leeds?
