The future of porcelain veneers is here.
Imagine the most beautiful porcelain veneers hand crafted and expertly fitted to your teeth in just a single day. In an Australian first, Smile Solutions is proud to introduce Same Day Porcelain Veneers™, bespoke, artisan made porcelain veneers by our team of experienced cosmetic dentists and lead ceramist working in our on-site ceramic studio.
No uncomfortable temporary veneers for weeks – everything from preparation to insert of your new smile completed in just one day.
How does it work?
Your first step is a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced treatment coordinators, who will remain your point of contact throughout your journey. Should you wish to proceed, your next appointment will be with one of our registered dentists, who will perform a full examination to assess your oral health, provide a personalised treatment plan, and discuss the best options to help you achieve your goals. It’s at this point you’ll also have the opportunity to consult with our lead ceramist, who will craft your porcelain veneers.
If you decide to proceed, digital scans of your teeth will be taken and sent to our in-house ceramic studio. You can also choose to have a mockup, which we always recommend, as it allows you to preview your smile makeover before committing to treatment. Click here to learn more about the mockup process.
Once you’re happy with your proposed treatment, your same-day veneers appointment will be scheduled!
Step 1
Your day will begin with an early morning appointment, where your cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth to ready them for your new bespoke veneers.
Step 2
Sit back and relax at a beautiful 5-star hotel, while our lead ceramist dedicates time to creating your individually hand crafted porcelain veneers.
Step 3
Once your veneers are ready, return to ‘try-in’ your new smile. If adjustments are required, they will be made straight away on the spot.
Step 4
Once you’re delighted with the result, your new veneers will be carefully inserted that same afternoon by your cosmetic dentist. You will then walk away with your perfect smile, created in just a single day!
What are the benefits of same day veneers at Smile Solutions?
No temporary veneers
Normally once your teeth are prepared, you will be sent away with temporary plastic veneers until your final veneers are inserted 2-3 weeks later. Temporary veneers are not fully sealed to your teeth, so during this time you are advised to avoid certain foods and drinks, and treat them gently so they don’t chip, stain or fall out all together which can lead to increased sensitivity. Temporary veneers can also be difficult to eat with, making them socially unpleasant.
If they do fall out, chip or cause you pain, you will need to go back to your dentist to have them fixed, meaning more travel time wasted and unnecessary discomfort.
With Same Day Porcelain Veneers™ at Smile Solutions, the use of temporary veneers is eliminated. This means less time in the dental chair, only one round mouth numbing, and no time wasted having your temporary veneers made and fitted, and then later removed.
Eliminating temporary veneers also makes Same Day Porcelain Veneers™ ideal for regional, interstate and international patients!

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain (ceramic) veneers are custom-made facings crafted from strong porcelain and bonded to the front of your teeth. They are highly stain-resistant and ideal for moderate to major changes, such as altering tooth shape, size, length, or texture, and covering discolouration. Porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory and fitted by your dentist.
The longevity of porcelain (ceramic) veneers depends on factors such as oral hygiene, diet, and habits like teeth grinding. In general, porcelain veneers are highly durable and can enhance both the appearance and function of teeth. Their average lifespan is typically between 10 and 25 years, although results may gradually change over time.
While porcelain veneers are generally resistant to breakage, they can still chip or fracture if exposed to trauma or excessive pressure, just as natural teeth can. Similarly, clenching or grinding may cause wear or damage over time.
Veneers are designed to maintain their appearance for many years, but replacement may be desirable if gums recede and the veneer margins become visible, or if staining develops at the edges.
Your dentist will advise you on care and maintenance to help maximise the lifespan of your veneers.
Porcelain (ceramic) veneers are custom-made facings crafted from strong porcelain and bonded to the front of your teeth. They are highly stain-resistant and ideal for moderate to major changes, such as altering tooth shape, size, length, or texture, and covering discolouration. Porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory and fitted by your dentist.
Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the teeth. They are suitable for smaller changes, such as reshaping teeth, repairing minor chips or fractures, or closing gaps between teeth. Composite veneers can often be made and fitted in a single visit without the need for a laboratory.
Your dentist will advise which option is best based on your goals, oral health, and preferences for durability and treatment time.
Your dentist will assess your teeth, discuss the options available, and help determine whether composite or porcelain veneers are most suitable for your smile goals and oral health.
Composite veneers can often be applied in a single visit and are suitable for smaller changes, such as reshaping teeth, repairing minor chips, or closing gaps. They require less tooth preparation than porcelain veneers, but are less durable, more prone to staining or wear, and may need touch-ups more frequently.
Porcelain veneers are highly durable, stain-resistant, and ideal for moderate to major changes, such as altering tooth shape, size, length, or covering discoloration. They provide a natural, long-lasting finish but usually require multiple visits, more tooth preparation, and are generally higher in cost.
Results vary for each person.
The cost of porcelain veneers varies depending on factors such as how many veneers are placed, the materials used, and the complexity of the treatment. Because veneers are custom-made for each individual, prices can range broadly, and your dentist will be able to give you a more accurate estimate once your needs have been assessed.

Your dental practitioner will advise you of any special care requirements for your new restorations, as well as any follow-up appointments that may be necessary to check your progress.
Keeping up a good dental hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing, combined with a scale and clean with your dental hygienist is very important. While the porcelain (or composite) that makes up your veneers cannot decay, the underlying teeth still can, and the teeth are vulnerable wherever they are exposed (at the back and sometimes the sides) and also where they connect with the veneers themselves. One of the benefits of dental veneers is they can protect the underlying teeth against decay. Providing you brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and use fluoride mouthwash regularly, dental veneers have been shown to resist decay.
Terms and Conditions
Porcelain veneers are an elective cosmetic procedure. Suitability and outcomes differ between patients, and your dentist will also review other treatment options if appropriate. More information on treatment considerations can be found here.
Our treating clinicians will determine if Same Day Porcelain Veneers treatment is suitable, based on the patient’s previous history, presenting dental condition, and outcome expectations. In certain cases, the clinician may recommend patient’s veneers be completed conventionally across multiple visits, which they will discuss during the appointment.
If the patient is required to return to the practice the following day, Smile Solutions will pay for the patient to stay the night at the hotel.
