What are veneers and smile makeovers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells - usually porcelain or composite - that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their shape, size, colour or alignment. They're one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in modern dentistry because the results can look completely natural and last for many years with the right care.

A smile makeover takes things a step further. Rather than treating one issue in isolation, we look at your smile as a whole and combine treatments - veneers, teeth whitening, clear aligners, bonding or crowns - to give you the result you've always wanted. Every smile makeover at Teamcare is bespoke, planned around your face, your goals and how natural you want the final look to be.

Many of our patients in Bedford and Bedfordshire come to us having thought about veneers for years. The reason most of them go ahead in the end is the same: a natural-looking, lasting change to a smile they were never quite happy with.

Why patients across Bedford choose veneers at Teamcare

A smile makeover is a personal thing - and where you have it done makes a real difference to how natural the final result looks. Here's why patients across Bedfordshire trust Teamcare with theirs.

Cosmetic dentistry as a special interest

Our principal dentist Jai Basudev has pursued cosmetic dentistry as a long-standing special interest, with prestigious courses completed in London.

Custom-made for a natural look

Every veneer is designed around your face, your existing teeth and the result you're hoping for - never one-size-fits-all.

Minimally invasive options where possible

Where appropriate we'll recommend less invasive options like composite bonding, so we only do as much as the result needs.

iTero 3D scanning for accurate planning

Our on-site iTero scanner takes detailed digital impressions, helping us design your new smile with precision.

Calm, unhurried consultations

You won't feel rushed or pushed into a particular treatment - we take time to understand what you actually want.

0% finance with no deposit

Spread the cost over 12 months interest-free, or longer through Tabeo, with no deposit required.

Are veneers the right option for me?


Veneers are a good fit if you'd like to change the shape, colour, size or position of your front teeth - especially if your teeth are chipped, worn down, slightly crooked, gappy or stained in a way that whitening alone won't fix. They're particularly popular with patients in Bedford who feel self-conscious about their smile in photos or important meetings.

Veneers aren't right for everyone, though. If your teeth are significantly misaligned, you might be better off starting with Invisalign to straighten them first - which is often less invasive and can give a beautiful result on its own. If staining is your only concern, teeth whitening alone may be all you need.

We'll always be honest with you. If a less invasive treatment would give you the result you want, we'll say so - even if it means recommending against veneers.

How much do veneers cost in Bedford?

Veneer pricing varies depending on the material chosen, how many teeth you're treating and the complexity of the design. Our flexible finance options are designed to make smile makeovers more accessible.

Whilst visiting the dentist is unlikely to ever be considered 'a pleasure', Teamcare make it as pleasurable as possible. The reception staff are always friendly, Steven and his assistant are always prompt to see me and also friendly. Appointment reminder texts and emails are life savers! I've been with the same practice since childhood (albeit the dentists themselves have changed over that time). Overall, I honestly think I'd be hard pressed to find a better dental practice. Thank you to everyone at Teamcare!

Ever since my childhood I had avoided going to visit a dentist having had some painful and traumatic experiences. Now in my 80's I can honestly say that I am grateful to Teamcare Dental Practice for helping me to put all of my fears behind me. My most recent visit to Pep for example was even enjoyable. I can't be more grateful for his kind and skilful attention and care. Well done, and thank you.

I have been a patient of Dr Murphy's for over 20 years and over that time I have always received superb treatment. I have recently moved to London so sadly yesterday was my last visit to the practice. I will really miss the expert care I have received from Dr Murphy and also the kindness and cheerfulness of the dental assistants and receptionists. A huge thank you to you all!

Frequently asked questions about veneers in Bedford

How long do veneers last?

Looked after well, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years - and often longer. Day-to-day care is similar to looking after natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing and routine check-ups being the key to longevity.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers are a long-term commitment. To bond them in place we usually need to remove a small amount of tooth surface, which doesn't grow back. Once your veneers reach the end of their life they'll need to be replaced, but they shouldn't need replacing often.

Will my veneers look natural?

Yes - this is one of the things we put the most effort into. Modern porcelain matches the translucency, shade and texture of natural teeth, and we design each veneer to suit your face rather than chasing a one-shape-fits-all look.

Is the treatment uncomfortable?

Tooth preparation is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel anything during the procedure itself. Some patients notice mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards, which usually settles quickly.

What's the difference between porcelain veneers and composite bonding?

Porcelain veneers are made in a dental lab and bonded to your teeth - they're strong, stain-resistant and long-lasting. Composite bonding is built up directly onto your teeth in a single appointment, which makes it faster and more affordable, but it doesn't last as long. We'll talk through which is right for you at your consultation.

Can I have just one veneer or do I need a full set?

Both are possible. Sometimes a single veneer is the perfect solution for a chipped or discoloured tooth; other times patients want a full set for a complete smile transformation. There's no right or wrong - we'll plan around your goals.

Will whitening work as well as veneers?

For staining alone, teeth whitening is often a much simpler and less invasive option. Veneers come into their own when there's also a shape, size or alignment issue you'd like to address.
