Can veneers be placed in a single appointment?

No. Porcelain veneers are handcrafted in a dental lab and take two to three weeks. Getting porcelain veneers requires two visits. 

During the first visit, our dentists prepare your teeth for veneers. They take impressions and make temporary veneers for you to wear. Then they send their specifications to the dental lab, which creates your veneers.

On your second visit, your dentist permanently places your porcelain veneers and makes any needed adjustments to ensure your bite functions correctly.

What Are the Advantages of Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers offer several advantages that patients appreciate:

  • Natural look — Porcelain veneers are designed to closely mimic the natural translucency and appearance of a tooth
  • Durability — With good care, porcelain veneers are durable and can last for 10 to 15 years, sometimes longer
  • Instant results — Porcelain veneers offer quicker results for small tooth misalignments, when compared to treatments such as clear aligners
  • Stain resistance — Veneers are stain-resistant, so you don't have to worry about whitening your smile with professional teeth whitening
