Porcelain veneers are strong, custom-formed, natural-looking covers that are bonded to the surface of teeth. They look just like perfectly healthy and natural teeth. Veneers are often used to repair chipped, decayed or stained teeth and to reshape teeth and close gaps. Veneers are sometimes used instead of crowns for patients looking for a simple cosmetic restoration. To prepare the tooth, a minimal amount of enamel is ground down to accommodate the veneer. This procedure is minimally invasive, even less so than a typical filling.
What are the advantages of same-day veneers?
Before the technology came around, getting veneers always took 2 to 3 appointments and required awkward temporary veneers. Thanks to new techniques and equipment, getting veneers is easier than ever.

Your personalized treatment plan
Before we get started we’d like to hear from you how and why you would like to improve your tooth or teeth. We want to ensure veneers are the best option for you and will help you achieve your smile goals. We may recommend a treatment plan before veneers are done, to ensure your gums are as healthy as possible and your veneers have a clean and healthy foundation.
Preparing your teeth
To make space for your veneer, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of your tooth. We numb the area before we start working and the amount of enamel removed is very minimal. Next, we will take a highly accurate digital scan of your treated tooth or teeth. No more messy impressions or huge trays in your mouth!
Creating and placing Veneers
The 3D scan will be used to make a digital model of your veneers and they will be milled right on location in our special in-house machine. If you only have one or two veneers, this whole process can be completed in one appointment. Your new veneers will be permanently bonded to your teeth.
Cost of same-day veneers in Boulder
The out-of-pocket cost for a dental veneer can vary widely from patient to patient. With a typical insurance plan, a single veneer averages out to about $200 to $600+. Without insurance, a reasonable ball-park figure for a veneer would be about $800 to $1200 and up.
So what goes into determining the cost of veneers?
- The number of veneers that are needed.
- The complexity of the procedure.
- Your vision for your smile.
- Supplies and equipment that are required for your specific treatment plan.

Disclaimer — Separate Ownership, Separate Billing, and No Cross-Substitution:
Experience Dental, Opera Aesthetics, and Sleep Better Apnea Therapy are independently owned and operated entities, each with its own tax identification number, fee schedules, billing policies, and clinical criteria. These entities do not share insurance contracts, reimbursement structures, covered benefits, or medical/dental necessity standards. Experience Dental provides general and medically necessary dental services and bills only through applicable dental insurance plans under its own entity and provider contracts. Opera Aesthetics provides cosmetic and elective procedures only. These services are not medically necessary and are never billed to dental or medical insurance, nor are they submitted for reimbursement on a patient’s behalf. Sleep Better Apnea Therapy operates as a durable medical equipment (DME) provider and bills only through medical insurance for qualified oral appliance therapy when medically necessary and prescribed by a licensed physician. The presence of multiple brands on this website is for informational and marketing purposes only. Each entity maintains separate accounting, patient records, billing systems, and financial policies, and there is no cross-subsidization or shifting of charges between entities. No patient is ever directed, encouraged, or incentivized to choose a cosmetic or private-pay service as a condition of receiving medically necessary or insurance-covered care.
Disclaimer — Cosmetic and Elective Services Not Eligible for Insurance Coverage:
Opera Aesthetics provides entirely elective cosmetic dental and aesthetic services. These procedures do not meet medical or dental necessity criteria and therefore do not qualify for dental or medical insurance reimbursement. Opera Aesthetics does not participate in any insurance networks and does not submit claims to insurance carriers on a patient’s behalf. Opera Aesthetics operates separately from Experience Dental and Sleep Better Apnea Therapy. Cosmetic services provided by Opera Aesthetics are never blended, bundled, or billed together with medically necessary dental services or DME sleep apnea services. Patients receiving elective cosmetic treatment must do so on a private-pay basis, fully separate from any insurance-based care. Recommendations for cosmetic treatment are made solely for aesthetic purposes and are not tied to or required for receiving medically necessary care. No cosmetic procedure is a prerequisite for insurance-covered treatment. All billing, scheduling, recordkeeping, and payment processing for Opera Aesthetics occur under its own entity, separate from any insurance-driven branch.
