At The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin, porcelain veneers are more than a cosmetic enhancement. They are an opportunity to create a personalized transformation that helps you feel renewed, self-assured, and genuinely excited to share your smile.
We take the time to evaluate your smile, understand your smile goals, evaluate your treatment and start your smile design.
Prep teeth and place temporaries. We also do minimal prep and no prep veneers.
Placement of your final porcelain veneers. Life time guarantee and complimentary cleanings.
Every smile requires a different approach. The amount of preparation needed depends on the position of your teeth, your enamel, bite, existing dental work, and the changes you want to achieve.
Our goal is always to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while creating a result that looks natural, feels comfortable, and remains predictable over time. Our team will determine whether traditional, minimal-prep, or no-prep veneers are best suited to your smile.
Maximum versatility for a complete transformation.
Traditional veneers generally require removing a small amount of enamel to create space for the porcelain. This allows each restoration to fit naturally against the tooth rather than appearing thick or bulky.
Beautiful changes with minimal alteration.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve as much natural enamel as possible while still allowing us to refine the color, shape, length, and proportions of your teeth. Only a very small amount of enamel may need to be reshaped before the veneers are bonded. Minimal-prep veneers may be appropriate for patients who want to:
Ultra-thin porcelain. Remarkably conservative care.
No-prep veneers are ultra-thin restorations that may be bonded without removing enamel in carefully selected cases. Because the underlying tooth structure is preserved, they can be an appealing option for patients seeking a highly conservative transformation. No-prep veneers tend to work best for teeth that are:
High-quality dental porcelain reflects light similarly to natural enamel and can be layered with subtle variations in color and translucency. It is also highly resistant to staining, allowing your smile to remain bright and vibrant with proper care. Your veneers should not look like they came from a template. They should look as if they have always belonged to you, only brighter, more balanced, and beautifully refined.
Porcelain veneers can address several cosmetic concerns at once, making them one of the most versatile ways to transform your smile. They may be used to improve:
While porcelain veneers may form the foundation of your new smile, some transformations benefit from additional care. Depending on your clinical needs, we may incorporate additional services into your veneer treatment plan to improve the appearance, comfort, function, and overall harmony of your results.
If excess or uneven gum tissue affects the proportions of your smile, laser gum contouring may be performed alongside your veneers. Reshaping the gumline can create a more balanced frame for your teeth and enhance the symmetry of your final result.
Qualifying veneer patients may choose an appropriate form of sedation to feel calmer and more comfortable during treatment. Sedation can be especially helpful if you experience dental anxiety, sensitivity, or require a longer veneer appointment.
Jaw discomfort, bite imbalance, or other TMJ/TMD-related concerns may influence how your veneers should be designed. When appropriate, we evaluate these factors as part of the veneer-planning process so your new smile supports both aesthetics and comfortable function.
Veneers may not be the right restoration for every tooth involved in your transformation. If a tooth requires additional strength or a missing tooth must be addressed, a custom crown or bridge may be incorporated into your veneer treatment plan. Each restoration is designed alongside your veneers for a cohesive, natural-looking result.
Your veneer experience should feel as personal as the smile we create. From your first conversation to the final reveal, every stage is thoughtfully planned around your comfort, preferences, and desired result.
Your consultation begins with a conversation about what you want to change and how you want your new smile to feel. Some patients imagine a bright, glamorous transformation, while others want subtle improvements that look completely natural.
We evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, facial proportions, and smile line before recommending the appropriate type and number of veneers. Digital imaging and examples of similar transformations may help you explore the possibilities.
Your smile is planned around more than tooth color. We carefully consider the length, width, contours, texture, translucency, and symmetry of your veneers, as well as how they complement your lips and facial features. The result should reflect your personality, not someone else’s idea of a perfect smile.
Before your veneers are permanently bonded, we carefully evaluate their shade, shape, fit, symmetry, texture, and overall relationship to your face. Any necessary refinements are made so the finished smile looks cohesive from every angle.
Most traditional veneer cases require two primary treatment visits. Qualifying patients may complete an Express Smile Makeover in approximately one week.
