What Are Same-Day Veneers?
Same-day veneers are custom restorations designed, created and placed without waiting for an outside dental laboratory. They can improve the appearance of chipped, worn, discoloured, uneven or slightly spaced teeth while providing a natural-looking result.
At Trenton Family Dental, Dr. Kaustubh Gandhalikar, Dr. Hardik Patel and Dr. Srikanth Lingamaneni can assess your teeth, discuss the changes you would like to make and determine whether same-day veneers are right for your smile.
Why Choose Same-Day Veneers?
Traditional veneers may require multiple appointments while the final restorations are created by a dental laboratory. Same-day technology can streamline this process by allowing suitable veneers to be digitally planned, created and placed at the dental office.
Benefits of Same-Day Veneers
- Digital impressions: A precise 3D scan can be used instead of traditional impression material.
- Fewer appointments: In suitable cases, your veneers can be designed and placed in a single visit.
- No temporary veneers: Same-day fabrication can eliminate the waiting period and the need to wear temporary veneers between appointments.
How Same-Day Veneers Are Made and Placed
Plan Your New Smile
We begin by examining your teeth and gums and discussing what you would like to change about your smile. Your dentist will determine whether same-day veneers are suitable for you and plan the shape, size and colour of your restorations. Any oral health concerns may need to be treated before we begin.
Prepare and Scan Your Teeth
If tooth preparation is needed, a small amount of enamel is carefully removed to create space for the veneer. We then take a precise digital 3D scan of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional impression trays.
Create and Place Your Veneers
Your digital scan is used to design your veneers, which can be created in-office using our dental milling technology. Once ready, your dentist checks the fit, shape and appearance before securely bonding the veneers to your teeth. Depending on your treatment needs, the entire process may be completed in a single visit.
How Much Do Same-Day Veneers Cost in Trenton?
The cost of same-day veneers varies because each restoration is designed for a specific tooth and smile. Your total cost will depend on how many veneers you need, the material used and the complexity of your treatment.
In Ontario, a single veneer can often cost approximately $1,000 to $1,700 or more per tooth, depending on the material, tooth preparation and complexity of the treatment. Same-day veneer fees can also vary based on the technology and type of restoration used.
What Affects the Cost of Same-Day Veneers?
- The number of teeth being treated.
- The type and material of the veneers.
- How much preparation each tooth requires.
- The complexity of the digital design and in-office fabrication.
- Any dental treatment needed before your veneers are placed.
Veneers are generally considered a cosmetic treatment, so they may not be covered by private dental insurance. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) specifically excludes both ceramic and composite veneers from coverage.
Because every smile and treatment plan is different, an accurate estimate requires an examination. After assessing your teeth and discussing the result you want, our team at Trenton Family Dental can explain your options and provide a personalized cost estimate before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Same-day veneers use digital dentistry technology to combine scanning, computer-aided design and in-office fabrication. A digital scan creates a detailed model of your teeth, which your dentist uses to design the restoration. The veneer can then be created in the dental office using compatible milling technology rather than being sent to an outside laboratory.
The biggest difference is how and where they are made. Same-day veneers can be digitally designed and created in the dental office, while traditional porcelain veneers are generally made by a dental laboratory and require a waiting period between preparation and final placement. Both are customized to fit your teeth, but the materials and fabrication process may differ.
They can be very durable, but strength depends on the material used, the design of the veneer, your bite and how you care for it. Laboratory-made and same-day restorations can use different ceramic materials, so one option is not automatically stronger or better for every patient.
Digital scanners capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and allow the dentist to review the scan immediately. They also eliminate the need to hold impression material and a tray in your mouth. Both digital and traditional impressions can produce accurate results when used properly, but digital scanning can make the workflow faster and more comfortable for many patients.
Both can provide natural-looking results. Same-day veneers are digitally designed and created from suitable restorative materials, while laboratory-made veneers may allow a dental technician to perform additional layering and characterization by hand. Which option will produce the best result depends on the teeth being treated, the material, the complexity of the case and your cosmetic goals.
