Your Veneers expert in Leipzig

Veneers are wafer-thin shells made from ceramic or composite that are bonded to the surface of the teeth. They offer an excellent way to individually optimise tooth position, gaps between teeth, tooth colour, and tooth shape. At our dental practice in Leipzig, we use a particularly gentle procedure, so that ideally no grinding of the teeth is necessary. With veneers, you can achieve a radiant, harmonious smile!

What are Veneers?

Veneers are wafer-thin shells made from ceramic or composite that are bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. Ceramic veneers are only about 0.3 to 0.7 millimetres thick and are barely distinguishable from natural teeth to the naked eye. At our moderndentistry practice in Leipzig, we make ceramic veneers individually in our in-house dental laboratory. The material is characterised by its excellent aesthetics, durability, and biocompatibility. Ceramic veneers reflect light in a similar way to natural tooth enamel and are particularly resistant to discolouration. Composite veneers are the direct alternative, usually completed in a single appointment; we show the differences in the comparison below.

How do Veneers work?

Veneers for teeth work according to a simple but effective principle: they are firmly bonded to the enamel, forming a fixed new surface for the visible area of the tooth. This bond is created using a special cement that is applied under dental supervision. The thin ceramic shells are custom-made for each tooth to ensure a perfect fit. At moderndentistry in Leipzig, we use a gentle procedure that ideally requires no or only minimal grinding of the natural tooth substance. This means that the natural teeth remain largely intact, while the veneers ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Reasons for Veneers

There are numerous reasons why patients choose veneers in Leipzig. Among the most common are: Slight misaligned / crooked teeth or irregular tooth shapes that need to be corrected without extensive orthodontic treatment.
Worn teeth due to teeth grinding or age-related wear that have lost their original shape.
Gaps between the front teeth (diastema) that need to be closed.
Broken tooth edges or small defects that affect the appearance.

Video preview: the most frequent questions about veneers in Leipzig, answered by Dr Niels Hoffmann

Ceramic Veneers

Ceramic veneers (also known as porcelain veneers) are wafer-thin shells with a thickness of only 0.3 to 0.7 millimetres. They are custom-made for each tooth and reflect light in a similar way to natural tooth enamel. The result is a particularly natural appearance.

At moderndentistry in Leipzig, we make your ceramic veneers in our in-house dental laboratory. That keeps the distances short and lets us match shape, colour, and transparency precisely to your face and your existing teeth.

Treatment usually involves 2 to 3 appointments: from the consultation with a digital scan, through the mock-up fitting, to inserting the finished veneers. You can find more details on the process further down this page.

The cost of a ceramic veneer with us ranges from €700 to €1,400 per tooth, depending on your individual requirements. You can find the full overview on our price list. We are happy to advise you personally on which solution suits you.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured composite and modelled directly on the tooth, layer by layer and without any laboratory work. They are particularly well suited to smaller corrections: adjusting tooth shape and tooth edges, closing small gaps, or refreshing individual discoloured teeth. Composite veneers are also often the right choice when things need to move quickly, when as little tooth substance as possible should be touched, and when price plays a role.

The process starts the same way as with ceramic veneers, with a consultation and a digital scan of your teeth. We then model the composite directly in your mouth and polish the surface. A single appointment is usually enough; on a healthy tooth, no grinding is normally required and the enamel is only lightly roughened.

How long composite veneers last depends on your bite, your habits, and your dental care; a binding lifespan cannot be predicted. In a multicentre study at three German university clinics (Frese et al. 2020), the survival rate of direct composite restorations in the anterior region was around 92 per cent after ten years. Minor wear or marginal discolouration can usually be touched up directly in the mouth, so a full replacement is generally not needed for this.

The cost of composite veneers depends on the individual scope of work. We will give you the exact price after your personal consultation.

Ceramic or composite veneers: the comparison

Both options have their strengths. The overview below shows the typical differences between ceramic and composite veneers.

Ceramic or composite veneers: the comparison
CriterionCeramic VeneersComposite Veneers
MaterialHigh-quality dental ceramic, made in the laboratoryTooth-coloured composite, layered directly on the tooth
Number of appointmentsUsually 2–3 appointmentsUsually 1 appointment
Tooth preparationUsually minimal or not necessary; if a thicker shell is needed, normally less than 1 mm (Verbraucherzentrale)Usually no grinding on a healthy tooth, the enamel is only lightly roughened (DGÄZ)
Typical longevitySystematic review (Alenezi et al. 2021): 10-year survival rate 95.5%Multicentre study at three German university clinics (Frese et al. 2020) on direct composite restorations in the anterior region: around 92% after 10 years; 98.5% after 15 years when repairs are included
Aesthetics and translucencyReflects light very similarly to natural tooth enamelGood, individually adjustable aesthetics; the surface tends to change over time more than ceramic does
Susceptibility to stainingComparatively resistant to discolourationSomewhat more prone to surface and marginal discolouration; can be refreshed by polishing or a new top layer (DGÄZ)
RepairUsually requires remaking in the laboratoryCan usually be touched up directly in the mouth, normally in one appointment
Cost per tooth€700 to €1,400On request
ReversibilityOnce enamel has been ground, the tooth will continue to need a restorationCan be removed again on a healthy, unground tooth without harming the tooth; switching to ceramic later is possible (DGÄZ)

  • "Ich bin seit Jahren Patient in dieser Praxis und rundum zufrieden. Zunächst wurden meine Zähne mit Invisalign begradigt, bevor Veneers eingesetzt wurden. Sowohl Dr. Hoffmann als auch Dr. Gottschling sind nicht nur äußerst kompetent, sondern auch sehr angenehm im Umgang. Besonders hilfreich waren die realistischen Mockups vorab – das Ergebnis entspricht genau meinen Erwartungen, ich bin begeistert![...]
    Das gesamte Team ist herzlich, patientenorientiert und sorgt dafür, dass man sich jederzeit wohlfühlt.

    Klare Empfehlung – hier stimmt einfach alles!"

How does veneer treatment work?

Step 1: Consultation and digital scan of your teeth

The first step towards your dream smile begins with a no-obligation consultation at our dental practice in Leipzig and a state-of-the-art, largely pain-free digital scan of your teeth. Together, we will discuss your personal expectations and wishes. We will then carry out an in-depth analysis of the data and create a digital and haptic simulation of your future smile. This allows you to see in advance what your new smile could look like.

Step 2: Mockup & test drive

We will first show you your new smile as a digital simulation and live on a 3D model, as well as directly in your mouth (mockup). Photos and video recordings help to give you a realistic impression. In the subsequent consultation, we will evaluate the results together and make any necessary adjustments. This test drive helps you judge in advance whether the planned result meets your expectations.

Step 3: Realisation of your new smile

Based on the digital design, we manufacture your wafer-thin ceramic veneers in our in-house laboratory. Before they are finally fitted, a fitting is carried out for final adjustment. The veneers are fitted gently, with the aim of giving you a radiant, natural smile. With proper care, they can last for 10 years or more. Regular dental care and visits to the dentist contribute to the longevity of your veneers.

FAQ

How long do Veneers last?

With good care and regular check-ups, veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Their longevity depends heavily on individual oral hygiene and habits such as avoiding excessive grinding.

How long does veneer treatment take in Leipzig?

The entire treatment usually involves 2-3 appointments. After the initial consultation and digital scan, the mock-up is fitted and finally the finished veneers are inserted. The time between the first and last appointment is typically 2-3 weeks.

Is veneer treatment painful?

Treatment with veneers usually causes little discomfort. Since we use a particularly gentle procedure in Leipzig, which ideally does not require any grinding of the teeth, most patients find the procedure very comfortable.

What are the risks associated with Veneers?

Like any dental treatment, veneers can involve risks. If excessive force is applied, chipping may occur, for example. With minimally invasive procedures, the risk of tooth hypersensitivity is significantly reduced.

What care and aftercare is necessary after veneer treatment in Leipzig?

Caring for veneers is hardly any different from normal dental care. This includes regular brushing, dental floss, or an interdental brush, and check-ups at the dentist. We also recommend professional teeth cleaning every six months.

What are the results of Veneers in Leipzig?

Veneers are characterised by a particularly natural appearance. Thanks to the high-quality ceramic, they reflect light in a similar way to natural teeth. The shape, colour, and transparency are individually tailored to your face and existing teeth to create a harmonious overall appearance.

How much does 1 veneer cost in Leipzig?

The cost of a single veneer in Leipzig ranges from €700 to €1,400, depending on your individual requirements and the material used. Billing is based on the German Dental Fee Schedule (GOZ).

Ceramic or composite – which is right for me?

This depends on your individual findings and preferences. Ceramic veneers are well suited to larger aesthetic changes and to an appearance that should stay colour-stable over the years. Composite veneers are usually the right choice for smaller corrections and when a solution in a single appointment is preferred. We are happy to discuss your situation in a personal consultation and find the right solution together.

Can composite veneers be replaced with ceramic veneers later on?

Yes, this is generally possible: as long as the tooth beneath the composite veneers has remained healthy and unground, switching to ceramic veneers later is an option. That is one of the advantages of starting with composite, because it keeps this option open. We are happy to discuss whether a switch makes sense in your case during a personal consultation.

How much do composite veneers cost?

The cost of composite veneers depends on the individual scope of work. The number of teeth treated, the extent of the shape correction, and whether any preliminary treatment is needed all influence the price. We are happy to provide you with a transparent cost estimate tailored to your findings during a personal consultation.
