Porcelain veneers are strong, custom-crafted covers that are bonded to the surface of teeth, giving them a healthy and natural appearance. Veneers are commonly used to repair chipped, decayed, or stained teeth, reshape teeth, and close gaps. They can also be an alternative to crowns for patients seeking a simple cosmetic restoration. The preparation for veneers involves minimal enamel removal, making it a less invasive procedure than a typical filling.
What Are the Advantages of Same-Day Veneers?
Before the advent of current technology, getting veneers required 2 to 3 appointments and temporary veneers. Thanks to new techniques and equipment, the process is now more efficient and convenient.

Same-Day Veneer Treatment
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Before starting the process, we’d like to understand your goals for improving your teeth. This ensures that veneers are the best option for you and will help you achieve your desired smile. We may recommend a treatment plan before placing veneers to ensure your gums are healthy and provide a solid foundation for the veneers.
Preparing Your Teeth
To accommodate the veneer, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of your tooth. The area is numbed before we begin, and the amount of enamel removed is minimal. We then take a highly accurate digital scan of your treated tooth or teeth, eliminating the need for messy impressions or large trays.
Creating and Placing Veneers
The 3D scan is used to create a digital model of your veneers, which are then milled on-site in our specialized machine. For one or two veneers, this entire process can be completed in a single appointment. Your new veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, veneers can be used to fix minor misalignments and give the appearance of straight teeth. However, for more severe cases of misalignment or bite issues, orthodontic treatment may be necessary. Your dentist can help determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains from foods and beverages, making them a great option for maintaining a bright, white smile. However, it’s still important to practice good oral hygiene and avoid excessive consumption of staining substances to keep your veneers looking their best.
The veneer procedure is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area while the dentist prepares your teeth and applies the veneers. You may experience some mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days.
While veneers can be replaced if needed, the procedure is not reversible. A small amount of enamel is removed from your teeth to accommodate the veneers, so if they are removed, your teeth will need some form of restoration. It’s important to be certain about your decision before proceeding with veneer treatment.
