Smile Design

Personalized Smile Design with Veneers

Every masterpiece begins with a blueprint. We utilize advanced shade-matching and digital facial mapping to design Porcelain Veneers that are custom-crafted to your unique features. Whether you are looking to correct spacing, chips, or permanent discoloration, our veneers provide a durable, stain-resistant, and incredibly natural-looking transformation.

  • Custom porcelain veneers — durable, stain-resistant, and beautifully natural.

Professional Whitening

Instant Brilliance: Professional Whitening

Over-the-counter products often fall short of the results you desire. Our in-office professional whitening utilizes high-concentration whitening agents and specialized light technology to lift deep stains in a single visit. We meticulously monitor the process to ensure maximum brightness with minimal tooth sensitivity.

Crowns & Bridges

Artistic Restorations: Crowns & Bridges

When a tooth requires more than a veneer, cosmetic crowns combine strength and a natural look. We use metal-free, biocompatible materials like Zirconia and E-max, which avoid the gray metal margin at the gumline and are color-matched to your natural teeth.

  • Metal-free Zirconia & E-max — strong and translucent, with no gray metal margin.

The Finishing Touch

Precision Color Matching

Great cosmetic dentistry should be invisible. We spend extra time during our clinical process to ensure that every crown and veneer is color-matched to your surrounding teeth under multiple lighting conditions. This level of detail ensures your new smile looks vibrant and authentic from every angle.

  • Multi-light shade verification for a seamless, undetectable result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmetic Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about veneers, whitening, smile design, costs, and what to expect at Texas Dental Center.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
High-quality porcelain veneers placed at Texas Dental Center typically last 12–20 years with proper care. Avoiding habits like ice chewing, nail biting, or using teeth as tools, plus wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth, can extend their lifespan significantly. Veneers are stain-resistant and only need routine brushing, flossing, and 6-month checkups.
What's the difference between veneers and dental crowns?
Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain that cover only the front surface of a tooth, requiring minimal enamel removal. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used when a tooth is structurally damaged, root canal-treated, or heavily worn. Veneers are primarily cosmetic; crowns restore both function and appearance.
How much do veneers cost in Houston?
Porcelain veneers at Texas Dental Center start at $1,300 per tooth, and most cases range from $1,300 to $2,100 per tooth depending on material (E-max vs. zirconia) and case complexity. We provide a transparent, written estimate at your smile design consultation and offer financing through CareCredit. Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by insurance.
Will professional teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience mild, short-term sensitivity for 24–48 hours after professional whitening. We use desensitizing agents during and after treatment to minimize this, and we adjust the gel concentration for patients with naturally sensitive teeth. Whitening does not damage enamel when performed under dentist supervision.
How is a smile makeover planned?
Your smile design begins with a full clinical exam, digital photos, and 3D intraoral scans. We use shade matching and digital smile preview tools to show you the projected result before any treatment begins. Most makeovers combine 2–3 services — typically whitening, veneers, and esthetic crowns — and are completed in 2–4 visits over 3–6 weeks.
Are veneers reversible?
Traditional porcelain veneers require removing a small amount of enamel and are considered a permanent restoration. We also offer minimal-prep options in qualifying cases, which preserve more natural tooth structure. During your consultation we'll discuss which approach best balances your aesthetic goals with conservative tooth preservation.
