If you want an aesthetic change to your smile, Walden Dental can improve the color, shape, size, and alignment of your teeth with porcelain veneers. Dr. David Frank and his team customize the fit of your veneers to ensure they snugly slip over your teeth and remain securely in place. With porcelain veneers, aesthetic flaws are concealed, revealing a white, straight, and perfectly balanced smile with little need for orthodontics or surgery. 

If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your otherwise healthy teeth, consider scheduling an appointment at our Austin, Texas, office. We’ll transform your dull teeth into a delightful smile you’ll be eager to show off.

How can dental veneers enhance my smile?

The teeth that show when smiling—often called the “social six”—are typically covered with dental veneers. Some patients need 12 veneers (six uppers and six lowers), but others need just one or two veneers for a complete transformation. Our cosmetic dentist will advise you on the number of veneers required to achieve your aesthetic goals. 

Veneers are one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry because of their versatility. Dental veneers can do the following for your smile.

  • Whiten severely discolored teeth
  • Close uneven or unwanted gaps between teeth
  • Straighten slightly misaligned teeth
  • Fix chipped, worn-down, or cracked teeth
  • Correct uneven or misshapen teeth

Dental veneers are designed to match the color of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural and uniform appearance. If your natural teeth are stained, it can affect the overall appearance of your smile, even with veneers. This means it’s a good idea to consider teeth whitening before your veneer treatment for a consistent appearance.

What should I expect from dental veneer treatment?

Your treatment starts with a conversation. We concentrate on understanding your needs, what you don’t like about your current smile, your goals, and what you expect from your treatment. Next, we’ll examine your teeth, bite, and general oral health to determine your suitability for cosmetic dentistry. 

If you need veneers to upgrade your smile, we’ll prepare your teeth by removing a bit of the front enamel. This step creates space for your veneers, aligning them seamlessly with your other teeth. Next, the dentist will take digital scans of your teeth to create a blueprint for fabricating your veneers.

Traditionally, veneers take about two weeks to create, so you must wear temporary ones. Thanks to CEREC technology, Dr. Frank can design, fabricate, and place your veneers in one day! Following your digital scans, we utilize advanced software to create your veneers according to the precise specifications of your teeth. Then, we’ll feed your veneers’ design into an in-house milling machine that fabricates your appliances in minutes.
