Veneers in Austin
Veneers are thin, hand-crafted porcelain layers bonded to the front of your teeth — the fix for chips, gaps, stubborn stains, and worn edges. Good veneers don’t look “done.” They look like you, on your best day.
What happens at your visit
-
A design visit: photos, a shade conversation, and a wax preview of your new smile.
-
We prepare the teeth (far less drilling than people fear) and place beautiful temporaries.
-
You “test drive” the shape and length in temporaries and request changes.
-
The final porcelain veneers are bonded in — usually two to three weeks later.
Does it hurt?
You’re numb for the preparation visit, and the bonding visit is typically anesthetic-free. Some temperature sensitivity for a week or two afterward is normal and fades.
How long does it take?
Two main visits over 2–3 weeks, each about 1.5–2 hours.
What affects the cost
from $1,100
- Priced per tooth — many patients treat only the teeth that show when smiling.
- Porcelain quality and the ceramist’s artistry (we don’t use bargain labs).
- Cosmetic, so not insurance-covered — but financing splits it into monthly payments.
Starting prices for straightforward cases. Your exact cost depends on your exam — we always quote in writing before treating, and the quote is what you pay.

Do veneers ruin your real teeth?
Modern veneers preserve far more enamel than older techniques — often less than half a millimeter is shaped. Done properly, they protect the tooth underneath.
