If you dream of having a flawless smile, Porcelain Veneers offer the most comprehensive and dramatic cosmetic transformation available in modern dentistry. At the comfortable TarryTown cosmetic dental office of Dr. Joni Wallace, we are experts in designing and placing beautiful, custom-crafted dental veneers that mask imperfections and completely revitalize your appearance. Serving Austin families for over 20 years, Dr. Wallace combines artistic vision with technical precision to deliver stunning, natural-looking results that will dramatically boost your confidence.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Often referred to as dental laminates, porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of medical-grade ceramic that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Because they are precisely matched to the color and contours of your natural teeth, they provide an incredibly lifelike and durable solution for a wide range of cosmetic flaws. Unlike simple bonding or teeth whitening, veneers offer the opportunity to simultaneously change the color, shape, and alignment of your entire smile, creating a beautifully uniform result.
Correct Issues that Rebuild Your Confidence with Porcelain Veneers
One of the greatest advantages of choosing porcelain veneers is their versatility. They are a single solution that can correct multiple cosmetic issues at once, saving you time and the need for multiple procedures. When you visit Dr. Wallace for a smile makeover, porcelain veneers can effectively address:
- Permanent Stains and Discoloration: Veneers are highly resistant to staining and can cover deep, intrinsic stains (like those caused by tetracycline or trauma) that professional teeth whitening cannot fully resolve.
- Gaps and Spacing (Diastema): Veneers can be custom-sized to close minor to moderate gaps between teeth without the need for extensive orthodontic treatment.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Worn Teeth: They seamlessly restore teeth damaged by wear, injury, or grinding, rebuilding the tooth structure and protecting the remaining enamel.
- Minor Misalignment: For teeth that are only slightly crooked or uneven, veneers provide an “instant orthodontics” effect, giving the appearance of straight, perfectly aligned teeth.
- Oddly Shaped or Small Teeth: Veneers can correct disproportionately short, small, or unevenly shaped teeth, creating harmony and balance within your smile.
- Old, Unsightly Dental Work: Veneers can replace or cover outdated crowns and fillings to give your smile a fresh, rejuvenated look.
By addressing all these issues simultaneously, porcelain veneers provide a true transformation that can often be completed in just two to three visits.
The Dr. Wallace Difference
Choosing the provider for your veneers is arguably the most critical step. Porcelain veneers are as much an art as they are a science, requiring a dentist with a deep understanding of facial aesthetics, occlusion (how your teeth fit together), and personalized design.

The Veneer Process: Designing Your New Smile
Achieving a brilliant smile with custom porcelain veneers typically requires three simple appointments at our Austin cosmetic dental office:
The Consultation and Design Phase
This is where the artistry begins. Dr. Wallace will discuss your vision, take detailed photographs and iTero digital scans, and potentially create a diagnostic mock-up. This ensures that the shape, length, and size are exactly to your liking.
Preparation and Temporaries
During this visit, a minimal amount of enamel is gently prepared from the front surface of the teeth to ensure a perfect fit for the veneers. This step is necessary to prevent the final result from looking bulky. We then send iTero digital scans and precise specifications to a master dental lab, where your custom veneers are handcrafted by skilled technicians. You will wear comfortable, temporary veneers while your permanent set is being meticulously created.
The Final Bonding
Once your custom veneers arrive from the lab, Dr. Wallace will carefully bond them to your teeth. She meticulously checks the fit, alignment, and color shade before permanently securing them. Once bonded, the veneers are incredibly strong and immediately ready for use. You will walk out of our TarryTown dental office with the confident, dazzling new smile you’ve always wanted.
Maintaining Your Investment
Porcelain veneers are highly durable and stain-resistant. With proper care involving diligent brushing, daily flossing, and maintaining your routine check-ups and cleanings your veneers can last for years.. If you grind your teeth, Dr. Wallace may recommend a custom nightguard to protect your investment.
