Actual Blanche one-day cases
Each of these was completed in a single day with Blanche no-prep veneers: no drilling at all, or reshaping of less than 0.1 mm.
All photos on this page are actual cases photographed at Blanche Dental Clinic, and as a rule we only publish photos of patients who have agreed to it. The notes under each photo describe how Blanche usually approaches that concern; the actual treatment and results differ from person to person depending on their teeth.
How we approached
each of these cases
Each concern calls for different checks and different design points. All five cases were no-prep or minimal-prep under 0.1 mm, and finished within a day.
Black triangles · Gaps between front teeth
- ConcernWhen you smile, dark triangles or gaps show between the teeth, close to the gums.
- ApproachGaps can often be closed just by adding a thin layer to the sides of the teeth, so we look at no-prep, with no drilling, first.
- Design pointWe close the gaps while balancing width and length, and shaping the margin at the gum line, so no single tooth ends up looking wide.
- TimeCompleted in one day with the one-day option.
Small teeth · Microdontia
- ConcernSmall or short front teeth barely show when you smile, which can look childlike or leave the smile looking empty.
- ApproachThe goal is to make teeth bigger, so in most cases nothing needs to be drilled. We build them up no-prep to the right size.
- Design pointBigger isn’t automatically better. We first set a length that suits your lip line and face width, then make sure the sizes step down naturally to the neighboring teeth.
- TimeCompleted in one day with the one-day option.
Bunny teeth · Large front teeth
- ConcernOnly the two central front teeth look noticeably large or long, out of balance with the rest.
- ApproachRather than making the central teeth smaller, we first look at enlarging the neighboring teeth to balance the smile. If the central teeth do need reshaping, we keep it under 0.1 mm.
- Design pointWe match the size progression from the central teeth to the lateral teeth and canines, and the line of the biting edges, to the curve of your lips when you smile.
- TimeCompleted in one day with the one-day option.
Discolored teeth · Yellow front teeth
- ConcernWhitening doesn’t brighten the teeth evenly, or certain teeth look darker than the rest.
- ApproachWe check the underlying tooth color so it won’t show through, then cover the color with veneers, no-prep or with minimal-prep under 0.1 mm.
- Design pointInstead of one uniform, overly bright white, we look at your skin tone and your lower teeth, and choose a shade that keeps the natural translucency at the edges.
- TimeCompleted in one day with the one-day option.
Crooked teeth · Uneven front teeth
- ConcernSome front teeth sit slightly back or forward, or at different heights, so the smile line looks uneven.
- ApproachWe build up teeth that sit back, and only where needed reshape protruding areas by less than 0.1 mm, to even out the line seen from the front. If the misalignment is significant, we recommend orthodontic treatment first.
- Design pointWe match the angle, edge height and visible width of each tooth so the teeth look neatly aligned.
- TimeCompleted in one day with the one-day option.
How the one-day option works
Consultation, design, fabrication and bonding all happen within a single day. It usually takes 4–5 hours, or 5–6 hours for a larger number of veneers. There is no type of case that can’t be done in one day, but if you need gum treatment or treatment for decay first, we start with that.

Can veneers fix
your concern?
The same concern can have different causes, and a different cause means a different approach. Here is when veneers are a good fit, and when orthodontic treatment should come first.
Whether veneers or orthodontics is the better choice is decided from photos and an exam. Blanche Dental Clinic works together with an orthodontic specialist, so if orthodontic treatment is needed first, we explain that option first. Learn about front teeth veneers →
Blanche veneer replacement cases
In these cases, old veneers were removed by laser and remade without drilling the teeth any further.
What we look for in the “before” photos
First we check whether the margins at the gum line are visible, whether the color stands apart from the surrounding teeth, and whether the teeth look bulky or the wrong length.
How we remove them
Instead of grinding off the old veneers with a drill, we use a laser to release the bonding layer and lift them off. That is why new veneers can be made without drilling your teeth further.
What we redesign
We don’t simply copy the shape of the old veneers. Color, length and proportions are redesigned to suit your face and gum line as they are now.
Actual Blanche Dental Clinic replacement cases. Some materials and conditions make laser removal difficult, so we check this first at your consultation. Results vary depending on each person’s teeth.
How Blanche chooses
the photos we publish
For anyone considering veneers, before and after photos are the most important reference. That’s why we state up front which photos we publish, and on what basis.
Our standards for the photos on this page
- We only publish actual cases treated and photographed by us at Blanche Dental Clinic
- As a rule, we only publish photos of patients who have agreed to it
- We show the same teeth of the same person side by side, before and after treatment
- For each case, we note the concern and whether it was a one-day case or a replacement
- We also make clear that results differ from person to person depending on their teeth and gums
Veneer reviews:
how to judge them accurately
Written reviews depend on each writer’s own standards. Before and after photos of the same teeth, taken under the same conditions, are the most reliable evidence.
What to check in before and after photos
- Do the edges of the teeth meet the gum line naturally?
- Is the color not too white, and does it blend with the surrounding teeth?
- Do the teeth avoid looking thick?
- Are the proportions right for the face and lip line?
- Do the sizes step down naturally from the central front teeth to the neighboring teeth?
- Are the boundaries between teeth defined, rather than looking like one solid block?
Things to watch out for in reviews
- If the lighting, angle or distance differs a lot between the before and after photos, the change can look bigger than it really is
- With only an “after” photo and no “before” photo, it’s hard to tell what actually changed
- Written reviews vary greatly depending on the writer’s expectations and standards
- Paid posts, or posts that repeatedly praise one particular clinic, may be advertising
- Photos alone can’t tell you how much tooth was removed or how many veneers were placed, so ask about this directly at your consultation
In the end, the most accurate reference is your own teeth. Even cases that look similar may call for a different approach if the tooth size or gum shape is different. If you’d like to know what to look for in a veneer clinic, read How to choose a veneer clinic →
