If you’re searching for a cosmetic dentist in Leicestershire, one of the first questions you’ll likely ask is:

“How much does a smile makeover cost?”

At Hermitage Dental Practice, we understand that cost matters. But just as important is understanding what actually shapes your result—and why no two smile makeovers are ever the same.

A smile makeover isn’t a fixed price treatment. It’s a bespoke process combining composite bonding, veneers, whitening, and digital smile design, tailored entirely to you.


Smile Makeover Cost (Quick Guide)


Here is a clear breakdown of typical private fees

  • Composite bonding in Leicester: £350 per tooth

  • Porcelain veneers cost: £940 per tooth

  • Teeth whitening: £422

  • Digital Smile Design: £29 per tooth

  • Invisalign Package: £4,300

  • Dental implants: from £3,050

These are guide prices. Your exact treatment plan will always depend on your smile, goals, and clinical needs.


What Is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover in Leicestershire is a combination of cosmetic dental treatments designed to improve the appearance of your teeth and overall smile.

This may include:

  • Composite bonding

  • Porcelain veneers

  • Teeth whitening

  • Invisalign teeth straightening

  • Fixed orthodontic treatment

At Hermitage Dental Practice, every smile makeover is fully bespoke—no templates, no “one-size-fits-all” approach.


Veneers Cost in Leicester – What You’re Really Paying For

When patients search “veneers cost Leicestershire”, they often assume they are paying for the porcelain itself.

In reality, veneer treatment includes much more:

  • Detailed smile design planning

  • Tooth preparation (if required)

  • Digital scans and photography

  • Collaboration with a specialist dental laboratory

  • Custom shade and shape design

  • Final fitting and refinement

At Hermitage Dental Practice, porcelain veneers start from £940 per tooth, reflecting the level of planning, craftsmanship, and precision involved.


Composite Bonding Leicester – A Minimally Invasive Option

If you’re looking for a more conservative option, composite bonding at Hermitage Dental Practice is one of the most popular treatments.

It is used to:

  • Repair chipped or worn teeth

  • Close small gaps

  • Improve shape and symmetry

  • Enhance smile aesthetics in a single visit (in many cases)

Composite bonding at Hermitage starts from £350 per tooth and is often chosen by patients wanting a subtle but noticeable improvement without drilling.


What Makes a Great Smile Design?

When planning a smile makeover in Leicestershire, we don’t just look at teeth—we look at the whole face.

Key design factors include:

Tooth proportions

Getting the balance right so teeth look natural—not too large, not too short.

Smile symmetry

Even small asymmetries can affect how a smile is perceived.

Shade selection

The ideal tooth colour depends on skin tone, facial features, and personal preference—not a standard “white”.

Lip movement

Your smile is framed by your lips, which directly influences tooth shape and position.

Smile line

Teeth should follow the natural curve of your lower lip for a harmonious result.


Digital Smile Design in Leicestershire

One of the most important parts of modern cosmetic dentistry is visual planning before treatment begins.

We use Digital Smile Design (DSS) to:

  • Preview your potential new smile

  • Plan tooth shape, size, and symmetry

  • Adjust designs before any clinical work begins

  • Ensure you are fully involved in the process

At Hermitage Dental Practice, nothing starts until you are completely happy with the proposed design.


Conservative Cosmetic Dentistry Approach

As a modern Leicestershire cosmetic dentist, our philosophy is simple:

Achieve beautiful results while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.

This means:

  • Composite bonding and veneers are kept as minimally invasive as possible

  • Treatments are only recommended when truly necessary

We always prioritise long-term dental health alongside aesthetics.


Membership Plans – Affordable Dental Care

Maintaining your smile is just as important as creating it.

Our membership plans start from £22.49 per month, with our most popular plan at:

£27.24 per month (just 90p per day)

This includes:

  • 2 dental health reviews per year

  • 2 hygiene appointments per year

  • Clinically necessary X-rays

  • 10% discount on most treatments

  • Complimentary emergency appointments (same-day access)

  • Access to Global Dental A&E support

It’s a cost-effective way to maintain long-term oral health and reduce unexpected dental expenses.

Private Dental Fees

For non-members, our key private fees include:

  • New patient assessment (with 3D scan & X-rays): £89

  • Dental health review: £66.25

  • Hygiene appointment: £101.50

  • Emergency appointment: £125

All treatment costs are confirmed in advance as part of a clear, personalised plan.
