Same-Day Porcelain Veneers for a Natural-Looking Smile
Porcelain veneers are strong, custom-made shells designed to look just like healthy, natural teeth, bonded directly to the front surface of your teeth. Many patients choose porcelain veneers to repair chipped, decayed, or stained teeth, or to reshape uneven teeth and close small gaps for a more even smile. In some cases, veneers are used instead of dental crowns for patients looking for a simpler cosmetic restoration. To prepare the tooth, only a minimal amount of enamel needs to be removed to make room for the veneer, making this one of the least invasive cosmetic dentistry procedures available, even less so than a typical dental filling.
Advantages of Same-Day Porcelain Veneers
Getting veneers used to mean 2 to 3 separate appointments, along with wearing awkward temporary veneers in between. Thanks to advances in dental technology, same-day veneers have made the entire process faster and far more convenient.
Same-day veneers offer the following extra advantages:
- No messy impressions. We use a highly accurate, comfortable digital 3D scan.
- Complete your treatment in as little as one visit.
- Less drilling required, so more of your natural tooth structure is preserved.
How Same-Day Veneers Work
Your Custom Veneer Consultation
Before we get started, we want to hear directly from you about how and why you’d like to improve your tooth or teeth. This helps us confirm that porcelain veneers are truly the right fit for your goals and will help you achieve the smile you’re after. In some cases, we may recommend a treatment plan before your veneers are placed, to make sure your gums are as healthy as possible and your veneers have a clean, stable foundation to bond to.
Preparing Your Teeth for Veneers
To make room for your veneer, a thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the front of your tooth. We numb the area beforehand, and the amount of enamel removed is very minimal, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. From there, we take a highly accurate digital scan of your treated tooth or teeth, so you can skip the messy impressions and bulky trays altogether.
Bonding Your New Veneers
Using your 3D scan, we create a digital model of your veneers, which are then milled right in our office using our special in-house machine. If you only need one or two veneers, the entire process can often be completed in a single appointment. Once your same-day veneers are ready, they’re permanently bonded to your teeth, giving you a natural-looking, long-lasting result.
How Much Do Same-Day Veneers Cost in Toronto?
Out-of-pocket costs for a dental veneer can vary quite a bit from patient to patient. With a typical dental insurance plan, a single porcelain veneer usually averages around $200 to $600 or more. Without insurance, a reasonable ballpark for one veneer would be about $800 to $1,200 and up.
So what actually determines the cost of veneers?
- The number of veneers needed to achieve your desired smile.
- The complexity of your specific case.
- Your goals and vision for your smile.
- The supplies and equipment required for your personalized treatment plan.
Keep in mind, no dental practice can provide an accurate quote for veneers over the phone. Your needs are as unique as your smile, which is why it’s important to speak with a dentist and undergo an oral exam to review your treatment options and receive an accurate cost estimate. If you have dental insurance, we’re happy to provide a quote you can submit to them, so you know your out-of-pocket cost before making a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
A porcelain veneer is a thin layer of porcelain bonded over the front of a tooth. Veneers help strengthen and restore damaged teeth while also improving the overall look of your smile.
How many veneers you get is completely up to you. Some patients choose veneers only for the teeth that show most when they smile, while others opt for a fuller set to transform their entire smile.
Since veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, they need the same daily care as your natural smile. With regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, your veneers can last ten years or more.
Caring for your veneers is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush at least twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash once or twice a day. Try to avoid sugary or acidic foods and drinks, especially after brushing and before bed. And don’t forget to book your routine cleaning and checkup every 6 months!
