What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells custom-made to cover the front surfaces of your teeth. They are carefully designed to improve the shape, color, size, and overall appearance of your smile.
Veneers are bonded directly to your teeth and crafted to blend naturally with your facial features and surrounding teeth. Most people won’t even realize you have veneers — they’ll simply notice your brighter, more polished smile.
Porcelain veneers are often part of a larger smile makeover because they can address several cosmetic concerns at once.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic dentistry treatment that can improve many common smile concerns, including:
- Discolored teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Worn teeth
- Broken teeth
- Uneven teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
If veneers are not the best fit for your needs, our cosmetic dentist team may recommend alternative treatments such as Bioclear®, Invisalign®, or dental bonding.

Patient Testimonial
“As someone who has terrible dental anxiety stemming from poor dental work done in my teens, I avoided the dentist for YEARS before finding Barton Oaks, specifically Dr. Lewis and Taylor. For so long I was self-conscious of my smile, and when I decided I was ready to do something about it, Dr. Lewis and Taylor guided me through the entire veneer process, took time and care to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had, and were honest and upfront about what would help me achieve my dream smile. I never felt pressured to rush any decisions or like they had anything other than my best interest in mind, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!!! Thank you Taylor and Dr. Lewis for giving me my smile back!!!”

Custom Veneer Placement
To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel is gently reshaped to create space for the veneer placement.
Using advanced digital technology, we design veneers that complement your smile, facial structure, and bite. Temporary veneers may be placed while your custom restorations are crafted.
Because we have an in-house dental lab, Austin patients benefit from faster turnaround times and greater customization compared to offices that outsource veneer fabrication.
Once your porcelain veneers are ready, your cosmetic dentist will carefully bond them to your teeth and make precise adjustments for fit, comfort, and aesthetics.
We customize everything from the shape to bite function. The result is a natural-looking smile designed specifically for you.
After placement, we may schedule a follow-up visit to ensure your veneers feel comfortable and your bite functions properly. Our team will also provide instructions for maintaining your veneers long-term.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can provide beautiful results for many years.
If you’re ready to improve your smile with porcelain veneers in Austin, Barton Oaks Dental Group is here to help. Our experienced cosmetic dentist team creates customized, natural-looking smiles to help you feel more confident every day.
