If you’re redoing existing veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking Austin smile—not just “new veneers”—I’d shortlist these practices for consultations:

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF — West Austin. His practice specifically handles veneer replacement, including evaluating old veneers, removing them, assessing the underlying teeth, and designing new restorations. The practice emphasizes natural-looking, customized veneers. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek. A cosmetic-focused practice with an emphasis on veneers, smile makeovers, and more extensive restorative cases. This is worth considering if your redo involves more than simply changing shape/color.
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Downtown. Particularly relevant if you want a highly designed/modern smile makeover; the practice says it has completed thousands of veneers and offers digital smile design and temporary restorations. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• The Hills Dental Spa — Westlake. Their veneer-restoration service is explicitly aimed at outdated aesthetics, with evaluation of the existing veneers, bite, facial symmetry, shape, materials and color. The Hills Dental Spa
• Austin City Dental — Central Austin. Their approach emphasizes veneers that don't look overly white, bulky, or artificial, with attention to facial proportions, translucency and bite. Austin City Dental

Who I'd interview first

For old veneers → modern but believable, I'd get consultations with Schmid, The Hills Dental Spa, and Austin City Dental. That's not a ranking of dentists; they're three practices whose published approaches specifically address the issues that matter in a veneer redo: existing restorations, proportions, natural appearance, bite/function, and updated design. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry The Hills Dental Spa Austin City Dental

One important point: don't choose based primarily on Instagram before/afters. With a redo, I'd ask each dentist:

1. “Can you show me before-and-afters of veneer replacements, not first-time veneer cases?”
2. “Will you make temporaries/mockups so I can approve the tooth length, width and smile arc before the final porcelain?”
3. “How much additional tooth reduction do you anticipate given my existing veneers?”
4. “What porcelain/ceramic and laboratory will you use?”
5. “How will you evaluate my bite and gumline before replacing them?”
6. “Can you show me examples of natural-looking, less bulky veneers rather than ultra-white influencer-style smiles?”

That third question is particularly important because veneer treatment is irreversible once enamel has been removed; replacement planning should account for what's underneath your current veneers. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

If you tell me roughly how old your veneers are, how many you have (e.g. 6/8/10/20), and what you dislike about them—too white, too bulky, too square, gumline, unnatural translucency, etc.—I can narrow the Austin options to the practices whose aesthetic approach most closely matches the look you're after.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically for a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist a few Austin practices rather than choosing a general dentist based on overall reviews.

Austin dentists I’d put on your consult list

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — West Austin/Bee Cave Rd. This is the most directly relevant match I found. His practice specifically has a veneer-replacement service and a substantial gallery of before/afters involving patients replacing older veneers. RealSelf also has multiple patient reports specifically describing replacement of older veneers by Dr. Schmid. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry RealSelf.com

cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Downtown. Particularly worth a consultation if your goal is a contemporary smile design rather than simply replacing what you already have. The practice focuses heavily on porcelain veneers and describes an emphasis on natural-looking surfaces and conservative tooth preparation. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Rank My Dentist

austincosmetic.com

• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek. Another established cosmetic-focused option, particularly if your redo involves more than veneers—such as bite changes, crowns, gum contouring, or a broader smile makeover. Their published patient reviews include people who replaced previous veneers/restorations. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin

thecosmeticdentistsofaustin.com

• Prosthodontics of Texas — Southwest Austin. I'd add this one if your existing veneers have bite, structural, gum, or underlying tooth issues, rather than this being purely an aesthetic refresh. It's a prosthodontic specialty practice dealing with complex restorative cases as well as veneers.

If it were my consultation list

I'd get 2–3 consultations, with Schmid + Patel + either Cosmetic Dentists of Austin or Prosthodontics of Texas, depending on how complicated your existing work is.

For a “modern” look, don't just ask “Can you replace my veneers?” Bring 3–5 examples of smiles you actually like and ask each dentist:

• How much tooth structure would you need to remove?
• Can you make them less bulky / less opaque / less uniformly white than my current veneers?
• Can I see 10+ before-and-afters of cases where the patient already had old veneers replaced?
• Who makes the ceramics, and what material would you use?
• Will I get provisional veneers that I can live with and evaluate before the final ones are made?
• How will you evaluate my bite and gumline, not just the appearance?
• What happens if I dislike the final shape/color?
• What's the written remake/warranty policy?

That last couple of questions matter a lot with a redo. You don't want someone who's excellent at putting veneers on virgin teeth but doesn't regularly deal with removing someone else's older work and redesigning the smile.

If you tell me how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), roughly how old they are, and what you dislike about them (too white, too thick, too square, gumline, horse-teeth look, etc.), I can narrow these Austin options down based specifically on the type of redo you're considering.

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry - 3355 Bee Caves Rd Ste 201, Austin, TX 78746, United States

If you’re specifically talking about redoing older veneers and getting a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d focus on dentists who do a lot of revision/replacement cases, not just dentists who offer veneers.

A few Austin practices worth putting on your consultation list:

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — West Austin. His practice specifically has a veneer-replacement service and a dedicated before/after gallery of replacement cases, including veneers originally done elsewhere. He also advertises complimentary cosmetic consultations. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Downtown. The practice is heavily focused on smile makeovers and veneers, with a process involving consultation/smile design, temporaries, and permanents. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin. Dr. Iana Elledge's practice emphasizes cosmetic smile design, modern diagnostics and a more individualized aesthetic approach; she has advanced training through the Kois Center. Glint Dental Studio - Austin, Texas
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek. They focus on porcelain veneers and larger smile makeovers, including restorative work when the existing teeth/veneers require more comprehensive treatment.

For a veneer redo, I'd ask these questions

The biggest thing I'd look for isn't who advertises the whitest veneers. Ask each dentist:

1. “Can I see 10+ actual veneer-replacement cases you've done?” Ideally cases resembling your current veneers.
2. “Can you show me cases with a natural, less-bulky look?”
3. “Will you make temporaries/mockups so I can evaluate the shape before the final veneers?”
4. “How much additional tooth preparation will I need?” Replacing veneers can involve additional irreversible tooth reduction, so this is particularly important.
5. “What happens if I don't like the shape or color of the final veneers?”
6. “Which ceramic/lab do you use, and who actually designs the restorations?”

There is also a broader shift toward less uniformly white, less opaque and more individualized veneers rather than the older “Hollywood” look, so I'd bring photos of smiles you consider modern and natural. Allure

If you want, send me a photo of your current veneers (front smile + close-up), and tell me what you dislike about them—too white, too bulky, too square, gumline, length, color, etc. I can then narrow these Austin options based specifically on the type of redo you're looking for.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically for a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist these Austin dentists rather than choosing a general dentist who happens to offer veneers.

My top 3

1. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first choice for a veneer redo

• West Austin/Bee Cave Road.
• His practice specifically discusses replacing older veneers, including evaluating the underlying teeth and redesigning the smile. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry RealSelf.com
• There are multiple patient reports specifically about having old veneers removed and replaced with Dr. Schmid, including an 8-veneer redo and a 10-veneer case. RealSelf.com RealSelf.com
• This is particularly compelling if your concern is “my veneers look dated/fake and I want them redesigned,” rather than simply replacing damaged porcelain.
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — best if you want a very contemporary cosmetic-smile approach

• Downtown at 221 W 6th St.
• His practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers, and their examples emphasize natural translucency and avoiding an overly artificial/chiclet appearance. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Rank My Dentist
• Austin patients also specifically recommend Patel for cosmetic work and veneers. Reddit
• I'd put him on your consultation list if you want a noticeably upgraded, polished aesthetic.
• Austin City Dental / Dr. Steven Cook — worth considering if “natural” is your priority

• Their site has an unusually relevant patient story: someone traveled back to Austin specifically to have old veneers removed and replaced by Dr. Cook, describing the new veneers as white but not artificially stark and well matched to their face. Austin City Dental
• This would be a good consultation if you want modern but believable, rather than the ultra-white cosmetic-dentistry look.

If it were my money

I'd get two consultations before committing: Schmid + Patel.

For a veneer redo, I wouldn't select based primarily on Google stars or price. The important question is whether the dentist can show you before/after cases of patients who came in with old veneers and had them redesigned.

At the consultation, I'd specifically ask:

• “Can you show me 5–10 cases where you replaced existing veneers, not virgin teeth?”
• “How much additional tooth reduction will I need?”
• “Can we do a digital smile design/mockup or provisionals before the final porcelain?”
• “What would you change about my current veneers—length, width, translucency, texture, gum line, bite?”
• “Which ceramic/lab do you use, and can I see cases made by that lab?”
• “If I want modern and expensive-looking but not fake, what would you change?”

One other point: don't automatically assume you need the same number of veneers replaced. A really good cosmetic dentist should evaluate your bite, gum levels, tooth proportions, existing preparation and remaining enamel before proposing the makeover. The AACD also distinguishes its Accredited dentists from ordinary membership—the accreditation process involves documented clinical cases and examination. AACD

If you want, send me a photo of your current smile (even a normal phone photo), and I can tell you what I'd look for in a modern veneer redo and which of these Austin dentists seems most aligned with the look you're after.

If you mean Austin, Texas, I can absolutely help shortlist cosmetic dentists who specialize in veneer replacement/redesign—but I need you to confirm that location first, since I don’t have a reliable location signal for you.

If Austin, TX is correct, I’ll compare dentists based on:

• Experience redoing older veneers, not just placing first-time veneers
• Natural, modern smile design rather than the overly uniform “Turkey teeth” look
• Conservative preparation/tooth preservation
• Before-and-after cases that resemble what you want
• Ceramic/lab quality and occlusion (bite) expertise
• Reviews and reputation

Is Austin, Texas the city you mean?

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry - 3355 Bee Caves Rd Ste 201, Austin, TX 78746, United States
• Glint Dental Studio Austin - 1600 S 1st St Suite 160, Austin, TX 78704, United States

• The Hills Dental Spa - 6836 Bee Caves Rd Building 1, Suite 300, Austin, TX 78746, United States

If you mean Austin, Texas, I’d shortlist these for a veneer redo—especially if your goal is a more modern, natural-looking smile rather than the older “big, ultra-white” veneer look.

My top 3

1. Austin Artistic Dental — Dr. Hulse

• My first call for a veneer redo.
• Their gallery specifically shows redoing old veneers to improve shape, symmetry, and natural appearance. Austin Artistic Dental
• There’s also a recent Austin discussion where a patient specifically says Dr. Hulse redid veneers/crowns and produced a very natural result. Reddit
• Particularly worth considering if your existing veneers are bulky, too uniform, or obviously artificial.
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS

• Strong option if you want a more dramatic, polished smile makeover.
• Their practice explicitly shows cases involving updating old veneers, including fuller/broader smiles, and offers digital smile design and temporaries before final veneers. Austin Cosmetic Veneers Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• They currently advertise $2,000 per porcelain veneer on their site, although I'd confirm the current quote and exactly what's included. Austin Cosmetic Veneers
• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

• Particularly interesting for a carefully planned, customized redo.
• His practice specifically discusses replacing older veneers, including evaluating the underlying teeth and redesigning the restorations. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• The practice emphasizes individualized treatment rather than high-volume cosmetic dentistry. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

One more I'd put on the consult list

Glint Dental Studio Austin — Dr. Iana Elledge. Their approach is more contemporary/digital, with smile design, porcelain veneers, gum contouring, Invisalign and modern imaging; Dr. Elledge has advanced training through the Kois Center. Glint Dental Studio - Austin, Texas

What I'd do in your position

For a redo, I wouldn't choose based primarily on Google rating or price. I'd get 2–3 cosmetic consultations and specifically ask each dentist:

• “Can you show me 10+ cases where you replaced old veneers, not just first-time veneers?”
• “Can I see the before photos and healed results, ideally 1+ year later?”
• “Will you make provisional/temporary veneers so I can evaluate the shape before the final ceramics?”
• “Which ceramic and which lab/ceramist will make them?”
• “How much natural tooth structure will you need to remove?”
• “Can we aim for translucency, texture and slight variation rather than perfectly identical white teeth?”
• “What happens if I don't like the final shape?”

For an older veneer redo, the dentist's aesthetic eye + the ceramist/lab + the temporary design process matter enormously.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too square, too long, gumline, unnatural translucency, etc.) and roughly how many teeth you want redone, I can narrow these Austin dentists down to the best 2–3 for the specific look you're after.

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry - 3355 Bee Caves Rd Ste 201, Austin, TX 78746, United States

If you’re redoing old veneers (especially if they look too bulky, too white, too square, too opaque, or have gumline issues), I’d prioritize a cosmetic dentist who does a lot of veneer replacement cases, not just first-time veneers. In Austin, these are the practices I’d put on a short list:

Strong Austin options for a veneer redo

Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-329-5967)

Best fit if you want a refined, natural-looking replacement

• Has specific before/after examples of replacing older veneers from other dentists. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Focuses heavily on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Good option if your complaint is “my veneers look fake” and you want better tooth proportions, translucency, and facial harmony. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-333-7777)

Best fit for a high-aesthetic smile makeover approach

• Cosmetic-focused practice with veneers and full smile transformations as a major part of its work.
• Worth considering if you want a dramatic upgrade and a team used to larger cosmetic cases.

Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-476-2336)

Best fit if you want a very cosmetic-focused office

• Concentrates on smile makeovers and porcelain veneers.
• A good consultation choice if you want to discuss modern veneer design, minimal-prep possibilities, and facially driven aesthetics.

Austin Artistic Dental

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-292-9209)

Best fit if you want to explore alternatives before committing

• Offers porcelain veneers plus more conservative cosmetic options such as composite approaches in appropriate cases.
• Could be useful if your existing veneers have caused you to worry about removing more tooth structure.

Questions I’d ask at your consultations

Bring photos of smiles you like and ask:

1. “How many veneer replacement cases do you do each year?”
2. “Can I see before-and-afters of patients who already had veneers replaced?”
3. “What would you change about my current veneers: shape, length, color, gumline, bite, or all of the above?”
4. “Will you do a wax-up or digital smile preview before preparing my teeth?”
5. “Who is your ceramist, and can I see examples of their work?”

For a redo, I’d personally get 2–3 consultations before choosing. The right dentist should spend a lot of time diagnosing why you dislike your current veneers rather than immediately selling a new set.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too bulky, too white, too long, bad gums, old porcelain, bite issues, etc.) and roughly how many teeth are veneered, I can narrow the list.

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a noticeably more modern, natural-looking result—not just replacing them with the same style—I’d put a few Austin dentists at the top of your consultation list.

My shortlist

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first consultation pick. His practice is heavily focused on cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers, and there are specific patient reports of replacing older/overseas veneers. RealSelf also has a patient report describing a 10-veneer case with Dr. Schmid. RealSelf.com Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — particularly worth considering if you want a highly cosmetic, comprehensive veneer redo. Their current site shows extensive veneer/smile-makeover experience, and notably, a 2026 patient review specifically describes having 20-year-old veneers redone by Dr. John Barras with a natural-looking result. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — another strong cosmetic-focused option downtown. The practice emphasizes porcelain veneers and smile makeovers and has a substantial cosmetic case portfolio. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• Prosthodontics of Texas — I'd add a prosthodontist to your consultations if your existing veneers have significant wear, gum recession, bite issues, damaged underlying teeth, or multiple failed restorations. Prosthodontists specialize in complex restorative work rather than purely cosmetic dentistry.

Who I'd actually interview

For your specific situation, I'd get 2–3 consultations, starting with Schmid and The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin, then a prosthodontist if the existing veneers/underlying teeth are complicated.

The key isn't simply finding someone who can make veneers look beautiful. For a redo, I'd ask:

1. “Can you show me 5–10 veneer replacement cases similar to mine?” Ideally older veneers being replaced, not first-time veneer patients.
2. “How much tooth structure will you remove?” A redo can become progressively more aggressive, so this matters enormously.
3. “Can I see the proposed shape/color in temporaries before the final ceramics are made?”
4. “What ceramic and laboratory do you use?”
5. “How do you design the smile around my facial proportions rather than just making the teeth very white and square?”
6. “What happens if I don't like the shape of the final veneers?”
7. “Will you evaluate my bite, gums and underlying teeth before recommending replacement?”

For a modern 2026 aesthetic, I'd specifically tell them you want natural translucency, less bulky/square teeth, appropriate tooth proportions, subtle texture, and a color that isn't obviously opaque porcelain. Bring photos of smiles you like.

One thing I'd avoid: choosing based primarily on Instagram “before/after” photos. Veneer redo cases are much harder than virgin cases, and the dentist's ability to diagnose why the old veneers look dated is more important than how flashy their gallery is.

If you tell me how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), roughly how old they are, and what you dislike about them (too white, too bulky, too square, gum line, length, etc.), I can narrow this to the 2 best Austin dentists for your particular redo and compare their aesthetic styles.

If you’re redoing old veneers and want a more modern look (less “chiclet,” more natural translucency, better proportions, softer edges), I’d focus on a cosmetic dentist who does a lot of veneer replacement / smile redesign cases, not just first-time veneers. In Austin, these are the offices I’d put on a short list: Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Austin Cosmetic Dentistry

What I would ask at the consultation

For a veneer redo, I’d ask each dentist:

1. “How many veneer replacement cases like mine do you do per year?”
2. “Can I see before/after photos of old veneers being replaced?”
3. “Will I get temporary veneers to test the shape before the final ones?”
4. “What changes would you make to my current smile—length, width, color, gumline, tooth texture?”
5. “Do you use a wax-up or digital smile preview?”
6. “Who makes your veneers (lab/ceramist), and can I meet or see their work?”

A modern veneer redo usually aims for:

• slightly more natural tooth variation (not every tooth identical)
• translucent edges
• better tooth-to-face proportions
• less excessive brightness
• improved gum symmetry
• a smile that fits your age and facial features

If you tell me (1) how old your current veneers are, (2) how many teeth are veneered, (3) what you dislike about them (too white, too bulky, too long, fake-looking, gum issues, etc.), and (4) your budget range, I can narrow this list down.

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist a few Austin dentists rather than choosing based on generic “veneer” reviews. Veneer replacement is more demanding than doing veneers on untouched teeth because the dentist has to assess the existing prep, bite, gumline, and how much healthy enamel remains. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

My Austin shortlist

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — West Austin

My first consultation pick for your specific situation. His practice specifically advertises veneer replacement, including removing old veneers, evaluating the underlying teeth, designing new restorations, and using temporaries before the final veneers. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
Address: 3355 Bee Caves Rd, Suite 201.

• Austin City Dental — Central Austin

Particularly interesting if by “modern” you mean natural, less bulky, less ultra-white. Dr. Steve Cook's practice emphasizes facial proportions, tooth length, translucency, bite and individualized smile design, and they show a case replacing older mismatched restorations with coordinated veneers/crowns. Austin City Dental

• Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin

A good option if you want a very contemporary, design-oriented approach. Dr. Iana Elledge is described as Kois-trained and uses digital smile design for personalized cosmetic cases. Glint Dental Studio - Austin, Texas

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Downtown

Worth a consultation if you want a dentist who does a high volume of veneer/smile-makeover cases. The practice says it has completed thousands of veneers and offers digital smile design, temporaries, and multiple makeover configurations. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Austin Cosmetic Dentistry

Who I'd choose

If these were my veneers, I'd get consultations with Schmid + Cook + Elledge and compare the proposed designs before committing.

The biggest thing I'd look for isn't who promises the “prettiest” smile. I'd ask each dentist:

1. Can you show me 5–10 actual veneer-replacement cases similar to mine?
2. Will you make temporaries/mockups that I can wear and evaluate before the final ceramics?
3. How much additional tooth reduction will be required to replace my existing veneers?
4. Can you preserve as much remaining enamel as possible?
5. What ceramic/lab will you use, and who designs the restorations?
6. How will you make them look modern without looking like obvious veneers?
7. What happens if I don't like the shape or color of the temporaries?

One particularly important red flag: don't let someone jump straight into removing your old veneers just because you want a different aesthetic. Have them evaluate the existing restorations, tooth structure, gums and bite first.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too square, too long, gumline, fake-looking, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you have, I can narrow these Austin dentists down to the best 2–3 for the exact look you're after.

If you’re redoing existing veneers rather than getting veneers for the first time, I’d be pickier than I would be for a routine cosmetic case. You want someone who does a lot of veneer replacement + smile design, understands bite/function, and can make the result look modern without looking like oversized, ultra-white “chicklet” teeth.

Based on what I found in Austin, my first three consultations would be:

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — my first choice if you want a noticeably more modern cosmetic look. Dr. Patel's practice has more than 20 years focused on cosmetic dentistry/veneers, and the practice specifically showcases cases involving updating old veneers and changing smile width/fullness. Austin Cosmetic | Virtual Consultation Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
2. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — strong choice if you want sophisticated, natural-looking veneers. His practice specifically discusses replacing older veneers and shows before/after replacement cases. There's also a patient review describing replacement of old veneers originally done overseas. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry RealSelf.com
3. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consultation if you want a high-end smile makeover. They emphasize veneers, smile makeovers and full-mouth restoration, with an emphasis on preserving natural tooth structure when possible. Veneers

I'd also consider Prosthodontics of Texas if your existing veneers have bite problems, significant wear, gum issues, cracked teeth, crowns mixed with veneers, or substantial underlying tooth damage. A prosthodontist has specialty training specifically in complex restoration and rehabilitation.

What I'd do in your shoes

Don't choose solely from Instagram before/afters. Book 2–3 consultations and tell them:

“I have older veneers and want a more contemporary, natural-looking smile. I don't want simply whiter or bigger teeth. I want the proportions, translucency, tooth shape, gum display and smile width updated.”

Then ask each dentist to show you 10+ veneer replacement cases, preferably patients whose starting veneers looked similar to yours.

The biggest things I'd compare are:

• How much natural tooth structure they expect to remove.
• Whether they'll make temporaries/mockups so you can actually live with the proposed shape.
• Who makes the veneers and whether you can see the lab's work.
• How they handle your bite/occlusion, not just appearance.
• Whether they can show healed results 1–3 years later, not just immediately after placement.
• Whether they recommend replacing every veneer or only the ones that actually need it.

One particularly encouraging data point: an Austin Reddit discussion specifically about cosmetic dentists included a patient saying Dr. Hulse at Austin Artistic Dental redid their veneers and two crowns, with the result described as very natural. Reddit I'd potentially add that office to your comparison list if you're looking for a more natural aesthetic.

If you tell me (1) roughly how many veneers you have, (2) how old they are, (3) whether you want “natural/celebrity natural” vs. “bright Hollywood,” and (4) your approximate budget, I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd actually interview, including who seems strongest for veneer redos specifically.

The biggest things I'd compare are:

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry - 3355 Bee Caves Rd Ste 201, Austin, TX 78746, United States
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS - 221 W 6th St #940, Austin, TX 78701, United States

If you’re redoing old veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d focus less on a general dentist and more on a cosmetic dentist who does a lot of veneer replacement cases (because the design challenges are different from placing veneers on untouched teeth). Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

A few Austin-area cosmetic dentists I’d put on a shortlist:

Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-329-5967)

Best fit if you want a highly aesthetic “redo” case

• Specifically highlights replacing older veneers and redesigning smiles. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Good option if your current veneers feel too bulky, too white/opaque, uneven, or outdated.
• Ask to see before/after photos of veneer replacements from other dentists, not just first-time veneer cases. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

Best fit if you want a very modern “smile makeover” approach

• Focuses heavily on porcelain veneers and smile design. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• Worth considering if you’re looking for a brighter, fuller, camera-ready aesthetic while still aiming for natural proportions.

Best fit if you want a boutique/high-touch experience

• Offers veneer restoration and evaluates existing veneers, bite, symmetry, and overall smile harmony before planning changes. The Hills Dental Spa
• A good consultation choice if your concern is that your current veneers don’t “fit your face” anymore.

Austin Artistic Dental

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-292-9209)

Best fit if you want a conservative or artistry-focused discussion

• Known for cosmetic work and veneer alternatives, including approaches that aim to preserve tooth structure when appropriate. Austin Artistic Dental

What I would ask at the consultations

Bring photos of smiles you like and ask:

1. “How many veneer replacement cases do you do per year?”
2. “Can I see before/afters of patients who already had veneers?”
3. “Will you do a digital smile preview or mock-up before prepping?”
4. “What ceramic/lab do you use?”
5. “How will you avoid the ‘too thick / piano-key / chicklet’ look?”
6. “Will you evaluate my bite before replacing them?”

For a redo, I’d personally schedule 2–3 consultations and choose based on who shows the most examples that match your taste—not just the biggest gallery.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too big, too white, too flat, gum issues, chips, old crowns mixed in, etc.) and roughly how many teeth are veneered, I can narrow the list.

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist a few Austin dentists rather than choosing purely by reviews.

My Austin shortlist

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first consult for a veneer redo. His practice specifically discusses replacing older veneers, including evaluating the underlying teeth and redesigning the smile. He also offers a five-year warranty on veneers placed by his office.

austincosmetic.com

• Smile Boutique Implant Center | Dr. Afsaneh Rad, D.M.D., M.Sc., M.M.Sc. — I'd put this high on the list if your existing veneers involve significant reconstruction, worn teeth, crowns, bite issues, or questionable underlying teeth. Dr. Rad is a prosthodontist, and the practice has an in-house digital lab. Smile Boutique Implant Center

smileboutiqueimplant.com

• Prosthodontics of Texas — another good specialist option for a complicated redo. It's led by a prosthodontist and handles veneers alongside more extensive restorative cases.
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consult if you're looking for a highly cosmetic, smile-makeover-oriented practice.

Interestingly, recent Austin Reddit discussions specifically mention Schmid, Tejas Patel, and Austin Artistic Dental when people are looking for high-end cosmetic work; one recent commenter said Dr. Hulse at Austin Artistic Dental redid their veneers and crowns with a very natural result. That's anecdotal, but useful as another data point. Reddit

Who I'd choose

I'd start with Schmid + one prosthodontist (Rad or Prosthodontics of Texas) and compare the proposed designs.

For a veneer redo, I wouldn't simply ask, “Who makes the prettiest veneers?” I'd ask:

• Can you show me before/afters of actual veneer replacement cases, not just first-time veneers?
• Will you make provisional/temporary veneers so I can evaluate the shape before the ceramics are finalized?
• What happens if my old veneers are covering teeth with significant preparation, decay, cracks, or insufficient enamel?
• Who is the ceramic lab/technician, and can I see examples of their work?
• How will you determine tooth length, translucency, texture, and shade so the result looks modern rather than obviously fake?
• Will you evaluate my bite and gum levels before designing the new smile?

One particularly important point: if your current veneers are old, don't let anyone remove them and immediately commit you to a final design. A proper redo should start with an assessment of the underlying teeth and your bite, followed by a design/mockup and temporaries where appropriate.

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), what you dislike about the current ones (too bulky, too white, too square, gum line, etc.), and your budget, I can narrow these Austin options down to the 2–3 I'd actually consult for your specific redo.

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — strongest option if you want a very contemporary/high-design smile.

Dr. Patel's practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers and says it has completed thousands of veneer cases. He'd be particularly worth consulting if by "modern" you mean cleaner proportions, brighter but still believable ceramics, and a highly designed smile. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Rank My Dentist
austincosmetic.com

• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consult for a dedicated cosmetic practice.

They specifically highlight veneer work and have patient examples involving removal of an old set and replacement with new veneers. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin

• Prosthodontics of Texas — I'd consider this if your existing veneers have underlying structural/bite issues.

Because it's a prosthodontic practice, I'd put it higher on the list if you're dealing with worn teeth, significant bite changes, crowns/implants mixed with veneers, or a more complicated reconstruction.

If it were my money

I'd get two consultations before committing: Schmid + Patel.

There's a meaningful aesthetic distinction I'd want to see in person: Schmid seems especially compelling for revision work and natural-looking refinement, while Patel is compelling if you want a more distinctly modern, highly designed cosmetic result. Austin patients discussing cosmetic dentists also specifically mention both of them, with Schmid getting praise for listening to what patients actually want. Reddit Reddit

One important thing: don't let the dentist jump straight to "10–20 new veneers." With older veneers, I'd ask to see your proposed smile as a mockup/temporaries before the final ceramics are made, and I'd specifically ask how much additional natural tooth structure would need to be removed. Modern veneer aesthetics have moved away from the very opaque, ultra-white, bulky "Hollywood" look toward more individualized, natural proportions. Allure

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), what you dislike about them, and the look you're after (natural/quiet-luxury vs. bright/celebrity vs. somewhere between), I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd actually interview and what I'd ask each one at the consultation.

If you’re redoing old veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking result—not the ultra-white, bulky “chiclet” look—I’d shortlist three Austin dentists rather than picking purely by star rating.

My Austin shortlist

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first consultation

He is very veneer/smile-makeover focused, and there are multiple recent reviews specifically describing his veneer work as natural, meticulous, and aesthetically strong. His practice also emphasizes individualized treatment rather than high-volume cosmetic dentistry. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Birdeye

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — strongest alternative for a very design-driven modern smile

Dr. Patel's practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers. His published cases/reviews emphasize veneers that look polished without looking artificial, which is particularly relevant if your existing veneers look dated. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Rank My Dentist

austincosmetic.com

• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consult for a true veneer redo

This is another veneer-specialized practice, and notably I found a 2026 patient review from someone who had 20-year-old veneers redone there; they specifically praised the natural, vibrant result and Dr. John Barras's attention to their goals. Trustindex.io

I'd book two consultations, probably Schmid + Patel, and make them compete for the case.

For a veneer redo, I would not choose based on who promises the whitest or most dramatic smile. I'd ask each dentist:

1. Can you show me 5–10 before/afters of old veneers you've replaced?
2. Can I see cases with my age/sex/facial features and similar tooth proportions?
3. How much additional tooth reduction will my redo require?
4. Can you make provisionals/mockups before the final ceramics?
5. Which ceramic/lab do you use, and who designs the restorations?
6. What specifically would you change about my current veneers—length, translucency, texture, shape, gumline, color, or bite?

That last question is especially revealing. A great cosmetic dentist should be able to look at your existing veneers and explain why they look dated and exactly how they'd modernize them, rather than simply selling you a new set.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too square, too long, opaque, gumline, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you have, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd personally consult for your particular aesthetic.

If you mean redoing existing veneers, rather than getting veneers for the first time, I’d be more selective. You want someone who can diagnose why the old set looks dated—shape, translucency, gum position, bite, tooth proportions, color—not just put a new set over the same design.

My Austin shortlist

1. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first consultation

• West Austin/Bee Cave Rd.
• Strong veneer and smile-makeover focus, with a reputation for meticulous, natural-looking work. RealSelf currently lists him at 5.0 for porcelain veneers, and there is a particularly relevant patient case involving 8 veneers originally placed in 2002 that were later redone by Dr. Schmid. RealSelf.com RealSelf.com
• His practice specifically emphasizes evaluating teeth, gums and jaw function together rather than treating veneers as purely cosmetic. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — best if you want a very modern/high-design smile

• Downtown Austin.
• Veneers and smile makeovers are a major focus, and his practice has a substantial cosmetic portfolio. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• Particularly interesting for your situation: a RealSelf patient specifically says Dr. Patel redid veneers that had been placed elsewhere and weren't looking/performing properly. RealSelf.com
• I'd put him high on the list if by "modern" you mean refined, bright, symmetrical but not the old giant/opaque "Hollywood teeth" look.
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consult for a major transformation

• Barton Creek.
• Very veneer-focused practice, including full smile makeovers and replacement of older veneers. Recent patient reviews specifically describe having 20-year-old veneers redone with Dr. John Barras and being happy with the more natural result. Trustindex.io The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin
• I'd compare their proposed design against Schmid/Patel before committing, particularly because a veneer redo is irreversible and expensive.
• Prosthodontics of Texas — consider this if your old veneers have underlying problems

• A prosthodontist is particularly worth considering if you have worn/broken teeth, significant bite issues, lots of previous dental work, recurrent veneer failures, or you're contemplating a larger reconstruction.
• They use a prototype/mock-up step for veneers, which is something I'd specifically want to see before approving a redo.

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd get two consultations, probably Schmid + Patel, and bring photos of smiles you actually like.

Don't let either dentist simply show you their "best veneer cases." Ask:

• "Can you show me before-and-after veneer replacements, not first-time veneer cases?"
• "What specifically makes my current veneers look dated?"
• "Can I see a digital/mock-up or provisional version before the final ceramics are made?"
• "How much natural tooth structure will need to be removed?"
• "What ceramic/lab do you use?"
• "How do you design the teeth around my face and lips rather than making every tooth identical?"
• "What happens if I don't like the final shape?"
• "Do you anticipate needing gum contouring, bite adjustment, orthodontics, or replacing crowns as part of the redesign?"

The mock-up/provisional stage is especially important. With a redo, you want to be able to look in the mirror and say, "Yes, that's the modern version of my smile" before permanently cementing the ceramics.

One other useful signal: the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry says its Accredited Members/Fellows have undergone a formal credentialing process involving documented cosmetic cases and examinations, so I'd also check the dentist's AACD credentials rather than relying solely on Instagram or Google reviews. AACD

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too square, too long, gumline, fake-looking, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you have, I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd actually interview for your particular redo.

If you’re redoing existing veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking smile—not just replacing them with another set—I’d shortlist these Austin dentists:

My top 3

1. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first choice for a veneer redo

• His practice specifically discusses replacing older veneers, including removing the old restorations, evaluating the underlying teeth, and redesigning the smile. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• There are also multiple patient reports specifically about redoing old veneers, including a patient whose 2002 veneers were replaced by Schmid. RealSelf.com RealSelf.com
• Best fit if you want high-end, meticulous, natural-looking cosmetic work rather than a generic "Hollywood smile."
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS

• Strong option if your goal is a very contemporary cosmetic design while avoiding the overly white/chunky "chiclet" look.
• His practice emphasizes porcelain veneers, conservative tooth preparation, and smile design. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• There is also positive Austin community discussion specifically recommending Patel for cosmetic dentistry. Reddit
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin

• Particularly worth a consultation with Dr. John Barras or Dr. Hay. Recent patient reviews include people having 20-year-old veneers redone with Dr. Barras and being very happy with the natural result. Trustindex.io
• This is a larger, highly cosmetic-focused practice, so I'd put it on the consultation list if you're considering a substantial smile makeover.

If it were my money

I'd consult Schmid and Patel first, and potentially get a third opinion from Barras/Hay.

The big thing with a veneer redo is that you don't want to choose based solely on Instagram before/afters. Ask each dentist to show you 10+ cases of patients who came in with old veneers and had them replaced, preferably cases resembling your current teeth.

At the consultation, I'd specifically ask:

• Can you show me before/after cases of veneer replacements, not first-time veneers?
• How much additional tooth reduction will be necessary to replace mine?
• Can we do a digital smile design/mock-up or provisionals before committing?
• What ceramic/lab do you use?
• How do you design the veneers so they look translucent and natural rather than opaque/overly white?
• Will you evaluate my bite/occlusion before designing them?
• If my existing veneers are very aggressively prepared, what are my options?

And I'd be cautious about anyone who immediately says, "Sure, we'll make them bigger/whiter," without first evaluating the existing veneers and underlying teeth.

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), how old they are, and what you dislike about them—too bulky, too white, too long, flat, fake-looking, gum issues, etc.—I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 Austin dentists for the exact look you're after, including which ones have the strongest veneer-redo portfolios.

• West Lake Hills Dental - 4105 Westbank Dr Ste 103, Austin, TX 78746, United States

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a noticeably more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist a few Austin dentists rather than picking a general dentist who happens to offer veneers.

My Austin shortlist

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — My first consultation pick. His practice is heavily focused on cosmetic dentistry and specifically documents veneer replacement cases. They emphasize evaluating the old veneers, underlying teeth, bite, and redesigning the smile rather than simply putting new veneers over the same design. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Strong choice if you want a highly cosmetic/smile-makeover-oriented practice. They offer digital smile design and dedicated veneer/smile-makeover packages, with pricing published starting around $1,500/tooth. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• Glint Dental Studio Austin — Worth considering if you want a modern, boutique aesthetic. Dr. Iana Elledge has advanced Kois Center training, and the practice uses digital scanning/technology in its cosmetic workflow. Glint Dental Studio - Austin, Texas
• Austin City Dental — Particularly interesting if your goal is “expensive and beautiful, but not fake.” Their stated philosophy is natural proportions rather than overly white, bulky, identical-looking teeth, and they specifically discuss considering alternatives when veneers aren't the best solution. Austin City Dental
• Austin Artistic Dental — I'd put this on the consultation list too. Interestingly, an Austin Reddit discussion specifically mentions Dr. Hulse for a veneer redo, praising the natural result and the lab work. That's anecdotal, but unusually relevant to exactly what you're asking for. Reddit

If it were my money

I'd get 2–3 consultations before committing, with Schmid, Patel, and either Glint or Austin Artistic being my starting three.

The key with a veneer redo isn't just finding someone who can make very white teeth. You want a dentist who can diagnose why you don't like the current veneers—shape, length, translucency, gum position, bite, thickness, margins, color, or the overall relationship to your face—and then show you a proposed new design.

I'd specifically ask each dentist:

1. “Can you show me 5–10 actual veneer-replacement cases you've done?”
2. “Will you make temporaries/mockups so I can approve the shape before the final veneers?”
3. “How much additional tooth reduction will be necessary to replace my existing veneers?”
4. “What ceramic and lab technician do you use?”
5. “Can you show me cases that look natural rather than ultra-white/Instagram veneers?”
6. “What happens if I don't like the temporaries?”

The AACD itself recommends examining a dentist's before-and-after photos and notes that AACD Accreditation involves a substantially more rigorous cosmetic credentialing process than ordinary membership. AACD Profiles AGD

One important point: don't let anyone automatically assume you need another full set of veneers. Depending on what's underneath your existing ones, the bite, and how much healthy enamel remains, the best redo may involve a combination of veneer replacement, gum contouring, orthodontics, bonding, or even a different restorative approach.

If you tell me (a) how many veneers you have, (b) roughly how old they are, (c) what you dislike about them—too white, too bulky, too square, too long, gums, etc.—and (d) your rough budget per tooth, I can narrow this to the 2 best Austin dentists for your particular aesthetic.

• West Lake Hills Dental - 4105 Westbank Dr Ste 103, Austin, TX 78746, United States

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a more modern look (less “chiclet,” more natural translucency, better proportions, softer shapes), I’d prioritize dentists who do a lot of complex veneer replacement cases rather than just placing first-time veneers. In Austin, these are the ones I’d put on a shortlist:

The Hills Dental Spa

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 737-205-1644)

• A cosmetic-focused West Austin practice that may appeal if you want a boutique experience and smile makeover planning.

What I’d look for in your consultation

For a veneer redo, I would not choose based only on “celebrity smiles” or the whitest results. Ask for:

• 10+ examples of veneer replacements, not just new veneers
• A digital smile design or wax-up/mock-up you can try before final bonding
• Their philosophy on: - tooth length
• gum display
• translucency
• texture (avoiding flat, opaque porcelain)
• keeping the smile age-appropriate
• Whether they use a dental lab that specializes in cosmetic ceramics

My practical shortlist

If it were my consultation list, I’d start with:

1. Dr. John Schmid — for a classic high-end cosmetic veneer redo approach
2. Dr. Tejas Patel — for a major smile makeover/design approach
3. Prosthodontics of Texas — if your old veneers have structural or bite concerns

A useful next step: bring photos of your current veneers plus 3–5 examples of smiles you like. The best cosmetic dentist will focus less on copying a “perfect” smile and more on matching your face.

If you tell me how old your veneers are, how many teeth are veneered (usually 6, 8, 10, 12, 16+), and what you dislike (too big, too white, too flat, gum line, shape), I can narrow the list.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically to get a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist these Austin dentists rather than choosing purely from generic “best veneers” lists.

My Austin shortlist

1. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first consult

• West Austin/Bee Cave Rd.
• This is particularly relevant because his practice explicitly handles replacement of older veneers, including removing the existing work, evaluating the underlying teeth, and designing new restorations. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• He also offers a 5-year warranty on bonded porcelain restorations under stated conditions. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Austin Reddit discussions specifically mention Schmid for meticulous cosmetic work and listening to patients. Reddit
• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — best if you want a highly aesthetic/modern makeover

• Downtown Austin.
• Veneers and smile makeovers are essentially the practice's specialty, and they emphasize smile design, temporaries, and porcelain veneers. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
• Their site specifically shows cases involving updating old veneers and creating a broader, fuller smile. Austin Cosmetic | Virtual Consultation
• I'd consider him if you're after a noticeably refined, contemporary aesthetic rather than simply replacing what you have.
• Prosthodontics of Texas — worth a consult if the existing veneers are complicated

• South Austin.
• A prosthodontist is particularly useful when an old veneer case involves significant tooth reduction, crowns mixed with veneers, bite issues, damaged teeth, or a more comprehensive reconstruction.
• They offer veneers with a prototype/mock-up stage, which is something I'd want before committing to a redo.
• Austin Artistic Dental — interesting option for a natural look

• South Austin.
• They emphasize natural-looking cosmetic dentistry, and there's a recent Austin Reddit recommendation from someone who specifically says Dr. Hulse redid their veneers and two crowns and produced a natural result. That's anecdotal, but unusually relevant to your exact situation. Reddit

What I'd do in your position

I'd get 2–3 consultations before letting anyone remove the old veneers. For a redo, the critical question isn't simply “Can you make prettier veneers?” It's:

“Show me what you would change about my existing veneers, and let me see the proposed shape, length, translucency and color in temporaries/mock-up before anything permanent is bonded.”

I'd also specifically ask:

• How much healthy enamel remains underneath the current veneers?
• Can any teeth be treated without additional reduction?
• Will you use provisional/temporary veneers so I can live with the design?
• Which ceramic/lab do you use?
• Can I see 10+ before-and-afters of veneer replacement, not just first-time veneer cases?
• What happens if I don't like the final shape?
• How will you handle my bite/night grinding if applicable?

The current trend is moving away from the very opaque, ultra-white, bulky “Hollywood” veneer look toward more individualized, translucent and facially proportionate smiles—which sounds much closer to what you mean by “modern.” Allure

If I had to pick just two to consult first: Dr. John Schmid and Dr. Tejas Patel. Schmid would be my first call for a revision/redo; Patel for a highly aesthetic smile redesign.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too long, flat/opaque, gumline showing, old-fashioned shape, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 Austin doctors for your particular redo.

If you’re redoing old veneers and want a noticeably more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist these Austin dentists rather than choosing a general dentist based only on reviews.

There are also patient reports specifically about replacing older veneers with him. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry RealSelf.com Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — my pick if your priority is a very contemporary aesthetic. His practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and smile design, and his published cases emphasize natural proportions rather than the overly white/"chiclet" look. Rank My Dentist Austin Cosmetic Dentistry

• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consultation if you want a high-end cosmetic practice with lots of veneer experience. Their recent patient feedback includes multiple people specifically describing redoing old veneers, including one patient who had veneers replaced after 20 years. Trustindex.io

If these were my veneers

I'd book two consultations: Schmid + Patel and make them show you actual before/after cases involving old veneers being replaced, not just first-time veneer patients.

For a modern look, I'd specifically ask about:

• More natural translucency and less opaque white
• Slight variation in tooth shape rather than identical "blocks"
• Softer, less bulky incisal edges
• Proper gum-line proportions
• Whether your existing veneers can be removed conservatively
• A digital smile preview/mock-up before committing
• How much additional tooth reduction they'll need
• What happens if you don't like the temporaries
• The lab/ceramist making the veneers
• Their warranty and remake policy

One particularly important point: veneer replacement is different from getting veneers for the first time. The dentist has to assess what's underneath the old restorations, your bite, gum position, remaining enamel, and how much additional preparation is actually safe. That's why I'd favor someone with substantial replacement/restorative experience over a dentist who simply advertises "smile makeovers." Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), whether they're upper only or upper + lower, and what you dislike about them now (too white, too bulky, too square, gums, etc.), I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd personally interview for your specific redo.

If you’re redoing old veneers and want a more modern look (more natural translucency, better proportions, less “chiclet”/overly white appearance), I’d prioritize a dentist who does a lot of veneer replacements, not just first-time veneers. A few Austin-area cosmetic dentists I’d put on a short list:

Worth a consult if your priority is a natural-looking upgrade rather than a dramatic “Hollywood” style. Their veneer process emphasizes planning around facial balance and the patient’s goals. Austin City Dental

Questions I’d ask at the consultation

For a veneer redo, I’d ask:

• “How many veneer replacement cases do you do each month?”
• “Can I see before/after photos of old veneers replaced, not just virgin teeth?”
• “Will you do a digital smile preview or temporary mockup before final bonding?”
• “What ceramic material and lab do you use?”
• “How do you avoid the overly white, flat veneer look?”
• “Will you evaluate my bite and gum levels before replacing them?”

My shortlist for a redo specifically

If I were narrowing it to three Austin consultations, I’d start with:

1. Dr. John Schmid / Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — because veneer replacement is a major focus. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
2. Dr. Tejas Patel / Austin Cosmetic Dentistry — for a high-aesthetic smile makeover approach. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
3. The Hills Dental Spa — for a boutique, restorative-minded evaluation. The Hills Dental Spa

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too square, too long, gumline issues, gaps, bulky, old porcelain, etc.) and roughly how many teeth are veneered, I can narrow the choice further.

If you’re redoing old veneers and want a more modern look (less “chiclet,” more natural translucency, better proportions, softer edges), I’d focus on dentists who do a high volume of veneer replacement and full smile design, not just general cosmetic dentistry. In Austin, these are some strong candidates to interview:

Top Austin options for veneer redo work

Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — Dr. John Schmid

• Cosmetic dentistry plus restorative experience
• May appeal if you’re worried about removing too much tooth structure or want options discussed carefully

West Lake Hills Dental

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-327-6908)

Worth a consultation, especially if your redo involves more complex restorative considerations. The practice highlights cosmetic dentistry, veneers, and advanced restorative training.

Questions I would ask at the consultation

For a veneer redo, I’d ask:

1. “How many veneer replacement cases do you do per month?”

Redos are harder than first-time veneers because the dentist has to work with existing prep, tooth structure, bite, and gum response.

2. “Can I see 10–20 before/after cases where you replaced someone else’s veneers?”

Look for cases similar to yours:

• older bulky veneers → natural modern veneers
• dark gum margins
• overly square teeth
• overly bright opaque porcelain
• “Will I get a wax-up or digital smile preview before anything is removed?”

You want to approve the shape/length/style before committing.

4. “What porcelain style do you recommend for a natural look?”

Modern veneers often aim for:

• slight translucency at the edges
• individualized tooth shapes
• natural texture
• less uniform “keyboard” symmetry

My shortlist to start with would be:

1. Dr. John Schmid — especially if your current veneers are a repair/replacement situation.
2. Dr. Tejas Patel — especially if you want a more dramatic modern smile makeover aesthetic.
3. Katz Dentistry — if conservative planning is a priority.

If you tell me how old your veneers are, how many teeth you have veneered (6/8/10/20), and what you dislike about them (too white, too big, too flat, gumline, shape, bite), I can narrow this down.

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a noticeably more modern, natural-looking result—not the super-white, bulky “veneers” look—I’d shortlist these Austin dentists:

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — my first choice for a modern/natural aesthetic.

Dr. Iana Elledge is Kois-trained and specifically focuses on digital smile design, porcelain veneers, and customized smile makeovers. They use digital scans and 3D smile previews, which is particularly valuable when you’re replacing an existing set and want to see the proposed shape before committing. Glint Dental Studio - Austin, Texas Glint Dental Studio - Austin, Texas

2. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — best if you want a highly cosmetic/celebrity-style transformation.

Dr. Tejas Patel's practice does a very large volume of veneers and smile makeovers and offers Digital Smile Design. They also explicitly advertise veneer warranties and currently list porcelain restorations starting around $1,500/tooth. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Austin Cosmetic Dentistry

3. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — worth a consultation for a more established cosmetic practice.

Dr. Schmid has been doing cosmetic dentistry in Austin for more than two decades, with a strong veneer/smile-makeover focus and LVI training. His practice emphasizes natural-looking veneers and individualized treatment rather than one-size-fits-all cosmetic work. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

4. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — particularly if you need a substantial reconstruction.

They have extensive veneer/full-mouth-restoration experience and offer porcelain veneers, crowns and comprehensive smile makeovers. I'd get a second opinion here if your existing veneers have significant underlying tooth damage or your bite has changed. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin

What I'd do in your situation

For an old-veneers redo, I wouldn't choose based primarily on Google reviews or price. I'd book 2–3 cosmetic consultations and bring photos of smiles you like.

Ask each dentist:

• “Can you show me 10+ before-and-afters of veneer replacement cases, not just first-time veneers?”
• “Will I get a digital smile design/mockup or provisionals before the final ceramics are made?”
• “How much additional tooth reduction will be required to replace my existing veneers?”
• “Can you make them less opaque, less bulky, and more translucent than my current veneers?”
• “What ceramic/lab do you use, and who designs the restorations?”
• “If I don't like the shape of the provisionals, how many revisions are included?”
• “Will you evaluate my bite and gum position before deciding on the new veneer design?”

That last part matters. A beautiful veneer redo isn't just about picking a whiter shade—the length, width-to-height ratio, incisal edges, gum symmetry, translucency, and how the teeth relate to your lips/face are what make a modern set look expensive rather than artificial.

My personal starting point: I'd get consultations with Glint + Austin Cosmetic Dentistry + Dr. Schmid, then compare the proposed designs rather than choosing the dentist with the flashiest Instagram.

If you tell me how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), roughly how old they are, what you dislike about them (too white/bulky/short/opaque/etc.), and whether you want “natural Hollywood” or “very polished Hollywood,” I can narrow this down to the 2 Austin dentists I'd interview first and compare their likely aesthetic styles and pricing.

• Shoal Creek Smile Studio - 5017 Bull Creek Rd, Austin, TX 78731, United States

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d narrow the Austin search to a few dentists rather than picking a general dentist based on reviews alone.

My Austin shortlist

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first choice for a veneer redo. His practice specifically discusses replacing older veneers, and there are multiple documented cases of patients having old veneers removed and replaced. RealSelf has a 5.0/5 rating from six veneer patients, including reviews specifically describing veneer replacement. RealSelf.com Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — probably the one I'd interview if your goal is very contemporary cosmetic design rather than simply replacing what you have. His practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers, and independent reviews specifically praise results that look natural rather than overly uniform. Rank My Dentist Rank My Dentist

austincosmetic.com

• Austin Artistic Dental — worth a consultation if your preference is natural, not “Hollywood”. Interestingly, an Austin Reddit thread from 2025 specifically mentions Dr. Hulse for a veneer redo involving crowns as well, with the patient praising the natural result. That's anecdotal, but relevant to exactly what you're considering. Reddit
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — another strong cosmetic-heavy option, particularly if you're considering a broader smile makeover rather than just swapping veneers. Their patient reviews include multiple veneer replacement and full-smile cases. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin

Who I'd personally consult first

I'd get two consultations: Schmid + Patel.

The important thing with a redo isn't just whether the dentist can make pretty veneers. You want someone who can assess how much tooth structure remains underneath the old veneers, your bite/occlusion, gum position, tooth proportions, and whether the old veneers were over-contoured or too opaque.

At the consultation, I'd specifically ask:

1. “Can you show me 5–10 cases where you replaced old veneers with a more modern aesthetic?”
2. “Can you show me cases with teeth similar to mine—not just perfect before photos?”
3. “How much additional tooth reduction will I need?”
4. “Will I get a digital mockup or temporary/provisional veneers before the final ceramics?”
5. “Which ceramic and which lab/ceramicist do you use?”
6. “What happens if I don't like the shape at the try-in?”
7. “How do you evaluate my bite before designing the new veneers?”

And I'd be particularly cautious about anyone who immediately says “you need 8/10/20 veneers” before doing a proper examination and discussing what you dislike about the current ones.

If you tell me how many veneers you have, roughly how old they are, and what you dislike about them (too white, too bulky, too square, too long/short, gumline, fake-looking, etc.), I can narrow these Austin dentists down to the 2–3 I'd actually book consultations with for your specific aesthetic.

If you’re redoing old veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking Austin smile, I’d shortlist these rather than choosing a general dentist who happens to offer veneers.

My Austin shortlist

1. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first call for a veneer redo
   • Westlake/Bee Cave area.
   • Specifically advertises veneer replacement, including removing old veneers, evaluating the underlying teeth, new design, temporaries, and final ceramics. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com
   • Particularly worth considering if your old veneers look bulky, overly white, too uniform, or dated and you want something more individualized.

2. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS
   • Downtown Austin.
   • Very veneer/smile-makeover focused; the practice says it has completed thousands of veneers and smile makeovers and uses a consultation → smile design → temporaries → permanents process. austincosmetic.com
   • I'd put him on the consultation list if you're looking for a more dramatic, highly polished transformation.

3. Glint Dental Studio Austin
   • South Austin.
   • Boutique/modern approach with smile mock-ups, porcelain/composite veneers, gum contouring and digital technology.
   • Good option if you want to preview the proposed aesthetic before committing.

4. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin
   • Barton Creek.
   • More appropriate if your veneer redo is complicated or involves crowns/full-mouth restorative work as well as aesthetics.

One credential I'd pay attention to

For a redo, I'd favor a dentist who can show you a substantial portfolio of their own veneer cases, especially replacement cases—not just generic “before and after” smile makeovers. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry says its Accredited Members have gone through a formal credentialing process involving documented cosmetic cases, examination and oral examination. aacd.com

There's also Dr. Elizabeth Lowery, an AACD-accredited Austin cosmetic dentist, who is worth adding to your consultation list if you want a credential-heavy option. www.findatopdoc.com

What I'd ask at the consultation

Don't just ask “How much are veneers?” For an existing veneer redo, ask:

• How many veneer-replacement cases do you personally do each year?
• Can I see 5–10 cases similar to mine, including close-up photos?
• Will you do a mock-up/temporaries so I can approve the shape before permanent bonding?
• What ceramic material and ceramist/lab will you use?
• How much additional tooth reduction will be necessary to replace my existing veneers?
• What happens if I don't like the temporaries?
• How will you evaluate my bite, gumline and underlying teeth before replacing them?

That last part matters. A veneer redo isn't simply putting prettier porcelain over the old work; the dentist needs to determine why the existing veneers look/feel dated and whether the underlying teeth and bite can support the new design. The AACD likewise emphasizes that successful veneers depend on preparation, proportions, light interaction and integration with the patient's face—not simply the veneer material. austincosmetic.comaacd.com

If it were my money, I'd get consultations with Schmid + Patel + one AACD-accredited dentist (such as Lowery), then choose based on the quality of their similar-case portfolio and proposed design, not the cheapest quote.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too big, too square, gumline showing, thick edges, old-fashioned shape, etc.) and roughly how many teeth you want redone, I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd prioritize for your particular look.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically for a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d narrow Austin down to 3 consultations, rather than choosing a general dentist based on reviews alone.

My Austin shortlist

1. Dr. John Schmid / Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my first choice for a veneer redo

He specifically showcases replacement of older veneers and says the process involves removing the existing veneers, evaluating the underlying teeth, and redesigning the restorations. There’s also a documented RealSelf case of a patient who had veneers placed in 2002 and had them redone by Dr. Schmid years later. www.realself.com

What stands out to me is that his recent patient feedback repeatedly describes the results as natural rather than overly uniform, which is exactly what I'd look for in a modern redo. reviews.birdeye.com

2. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — strongest for a very contemporary cosmetic aesthetic

Dr. Patel's practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers. His own gallery/reviews emphasize natural-looking porcelain, transparency, and avoiding the stereotypical ultra-white "chiclet" appearance. austincosmetic.com

There's also some Austin Reddit consensus specifically recommending Patel for veneers. www.reddit.com

3. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consult for a bigger smile reconstruction

This is a more restoration-heavy cosmetic practice. Their patient reviews include several people who came in with previously failed/mismatched veneers or crowns and had them replaced. www.thecosmeticdentistsofaustin.com

If it were my money

I'd book Schmid + Patel, and possibly a third opinion at Cosmetic Dentists of Austin.

For a redo, don't just ask "How much for veneers?" Ask each dentist to show you:

• 10+ cases of old veneers being replaced, not just first-time veneers
• Before/after cases with a natural, translucent look
• What their veneers look like after 5–10 years
• Whether they can do a provisional/mock-up so you can evaluate tooth length, width and smile arc before final ceramics
• How much additional tooth reduction they'll need to remove the existing veneers
• What happens if you dislike the final shade/shape
• Which ceramic material and dental lab/ceramist they use
• How they evaluate your bite/occlusion, especially if your existing veneers are worn or chipped

One important point: with a redo, the dentist's aesthetic eye and the ceramist/lab are arguably as important as the veneer material itself. I would be much more interested in seeing that dentist's redo portfolio than a generic "smile makeover" gallery.

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too square, too long/short, opaque, gum lines, etc.) and roughly how many teeth are veneered, I can narrow these down to the best 1–2 Austin dentists for the specific look you're after.

Yes. For redoing older veneers and getting a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist these Austin practices rather than choosing a general dentist who happens to offer veneers:

1. The Hills Dental Spa — my first consultation pick - Westlake/Bee Cave area.
2. They specifically offer veneer restoration, including replacing older/outdated veneers, evaluating the bite and facial symmetry, and upgrading materials. Their cosmetic work is led by Dr. Kevin Winters, who has a cosmetic/neuromuscular focus. The Hills Dental Spa
3. Particularly worth considering if your existing veneers are bulky, worn, or no longer fit your face.

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — if you want a very contemporary “smile makeover” - Downtown Austin.
2. Veneers and smile makeovers are a major focus, and the practice says they've completed thousands of veneer/smile-makeover cases. They also use temporaries as part of the process, which is important for dialing in the new shape before committing. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry Austin Cosmetic Dentistry
3. I'd put this high on the list if you're after a noticeably more polished, modern aesthetic.

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — best for a boutique, natural/modern approach - South Austin.
2. Led by Dr. Iana Elledge, with advanced Kois Center training; the practice emphasizes cosmetic dentistry, smile design and natural-looking results. Glint Dental Studio - Austin, Texas

1. Austin City Dental — if you specifically want natural rather than “Hollywood” - Central Austin.
2. Their veneer philosophy emphasizes facial proportions, translucency, tooth length and avoiding overly white/bulky/identical teeth. They also describe experience correcting previous dental work. Austin City Dental

One more I'd seriously consider

Dr. John Schmid at Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry has unusually direct experience with veneer replacement. His practice actually publishes a dedicated veneer-replacement gallery showing cases where patients came in with older/problematic veneers from other dentists. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

How I'd choose between them

For a redo, I wouldn't select based on the prettiest Instagram smile. I'd ask each dentist to show you 10+ cases of old veneers being replaced, ideally patients whose starting point resembles yours.

At the consultation, ask:

• Can you show me your veneer-replacement cases, not just first-time veneers?
• What would you change about my current veneers—length, width, translucency, gumline, color, bite?
• Will you make provisional/temporary veneers so I can evaluate the shape before the final ceramics?
• How much additional tooth reduction will be necessary?
• What happens if we remove the old veneers and discover decay, fracture, or insufficient enamel?
• Who makes the ceramics, and can I see examples of that lab's work?
• Can you digitally/mock up the proposed smile before preparation?

My personal starting order for your situation: The Hills Dental Spa → Dr. Schmid → Tejas Patel → Glint. The right choice could change substantially once I know what your current veneers look like and what you mean by “more modern.”

If you want, send me a photo of your current smile (even just a normal phone photo), and I can tell you what I'd look for in the redo—e.g. whether you're dealing with veneers that are too white, too bulky, too long, too square, flat-looking, or dated.

• Can you show me your veneer-replacement cases, not just first-time veneers?
• What would you change about my current veneers—length, width, translucency, gumline, color, bite?

• How much additional tooth reduction will be necessary?
• What happens if we remove the old veneers and discover decay, fracture, or insufficient enamel?
• Who makes the ceramics, and can I see examples of that lab's work?
• Can you digitally/mock up the proposed smile before preparation?

My personal starting order for your situation: The Hills Dental Spa → Dr. Schmid → Tejas Patel → Glint. The right choice could change substantially once I know what your current veneers look like and what you mean by “more modern.”

If you want, send me a photo of your current smile (even just a normal phone photo), and I can tell you what I'd look for in the redo—e.g. whether you're dealing with veneers that are too white, too bulky, too long, too square, flat-looking, or dated.

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a noticeably more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist these Austin practices rather than choosing a general dentist who only occasionally does veneers.

My Austin shortlist

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — my pick for a modern, natural aesthetic
   • Dr. Iana Elledge has Kois Center training, and the practice emphasizes digital smile design, mock-ups, porcelain veneers, gum contouring, and a very personalized approach. glintatx.com
   • Particularly appealing if your goal is “expensive-looking but not fake” rather than ultra-white, ultra-uniform veneers.
   • South Austin, 1600 S 1st St.

2. The Hills Dental Spa — excellent for high-end aesthetic work
   • Their approach specifically considers facial features, lip shape, proportions and overall appearance rather than designing teeth in isolation. They also handle porcelain and prepless veneers and address bite/tooth wear when relevant. www.thehillsdentalspa.com
   • Westlake/Bee Cave area.
   • I'd put this high on the list if you want subtle, sophisticated, highly customized results.

3. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — strongest “major smile transformation” option
   • Veneers and smile makeovers are a huge focus of the practice, with digital smile design, wax-ups, temporaries and extensive veneer experience. They advertise thousands of veneer/smile-makeover cases. austincosmetic.com
   • Downtown at 221 W 6th St.
   • I'd consider this if you want a very noticeable Hollywood/celebrity-style upgrade, rather than a conservative refresh.

4. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth getting a second opinion
   • Heavy focus on veneers, smile makeovers and full-mouth restoration; they offer virtual consultations and before/after cases. www.thecosmeticdentistsofaustin.com
   • Barton Creek.
   • Especially worth considering if your existing veneers have bite, wear, gum, or underlying tooth issues, rather than being purely an aesthetic redo.

What I'd do in your situation

Don't let the dentist start prepping the old veneers at the first consultation. For a redo, I'd get 2–3 cosmetic consultations and specifically ask each dentist to:

• Remove/assess the existing veneers and underlying teeth/gums.
• Show you actual before/after cases involving veneer replacements, not just first-time veneer patients.
• Do a digital smile design + physical mock-up/temporaries before irreversible preparation.
• Explain how much natural tooth structure they'll need to remove.
• Show you examples of the aesthetic you're after: tooth length, translucency, texture, whiteness, incisal edges, and how visible the veneers are.
• Tell you whether your bite or old veneer design is contributing to chipping/wear.
• Give you the lab/ceramist name and explain how involved the dentist is in customizing the ceramics.
• Give you a written price for the entire redo, including temporaries, adjustments and replacements.

One important distinction: if your current veneers are bulky, opaque, too white, too square, or have that obvious “veneer look,” I'd lean toward Glint or The Hills Dental Spa first. If you want a dramatic celebrity-style transformation, I'd put Tejas Patel near the top.

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (6, 8, 10, 20), what you dislike about the current ones, and whether you want “natural/expensive” vs. “Hollywood white,” I can narrow this to the 2 Austin dentists I'd personally consult first.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically to get a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist 3 Austin practices rather than choosing a generic cosmetic dentist.

My Austin shortlist

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — strongest choice for a dramatic, highly aesthetic makeover
   • Veneers and smile makeovers are essentially the practice’s specialty; the practice says Dr. Tejas Patel has completed thousands of veneer cases. austincosmetic.com
   • Good fit if by “modern” you mean cleaner proportions, brighter but sophisticated color, more symmetry, and a very polished celebrity-style smile.
   • Downtown Austin.

2. The Hills Dental Spa — my pick if you want a refined, natural redo
   • This one is particularly relevant because they specifically advertise veneer restoration/replacement, including outdated aesthetics, wear, margins and bite issues. www.thehillsdentalspa.com
   • Dr. Kevin Winters' approach considers both aesthetics and function rather than simply putting new veneers over the old design.
   • Westlake/Bee Cave area.

3. Glint Dental Studio Austin — best modern/digital-design option
   • They emphasize smile design and mock-ups, with a strong cosmetic focus and advanced digital technology. glintatx.com
   • Particularly worth considering if you want to preview the proposed smile before committing.

One more I'd seriously consider

Advanced Prosthodontics in West Lake Hills. If your old veneers have gumline problems, worn-down teeth, bite issues, significant tooth reduction, or complicated restorations, I'd get a prosthodontist's opinion before having another cosmetic dentist redo them. Their specialty is specifically complex restorative dentistry, including veneers.

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd get 2–3 consultations before choosing, and I'd bring photos of smiles you actually like. Don't just say "I want modern veneers." Tell them things like:

• less bulky / less square
• slightly translucent rather than opaque white
• natural texture rather than perfectly flat porcelain
• softer incisal edges
• less “piano-key” uniformity
• smile that fits your face rather than maximum whiteness
• whether you want Hollywood white or natural luxury

Most importantly, ask to see 10+ cases where the dentist replaced OLD veneers, not just first-time veneer patients. That's a very different skill set. Dr. Schmid's practice, for example, specifically publishes a veneer-replacement gallery showing cases where older work was replaced. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

See Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry's veneer-replacement gallery

If you want, I can also narrow this down to the 3 Austin dentists I'd choose specifically for a “modern but natural / not fake” veneer redo, and compare their before-and-afters, credentials, location, reviews, and likely price range.

If you’re replacing older veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking smile (less bulky, less “chiclet,” better translucency, updated shape), I’d focus on Austin dentists who do a lot of veneer replacement/smile design cases, not just general cosmetic dentistry. A few I’d put on a consultation shortlist:

Strong veneer redo / smile makeover options in Austin

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — A cosmetic-focused practice that emphasizes porcelain veneers and smile makeovers. This may be a good fit if you want a highly aesthetic, “new smile” approach with lots of design involvement. austincosmetic.com

• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Focuses heavily on cosmetic and restorative work, including veneers, smile makeovers, and more complex aesthetic cases.

• The Hills Dental Spa — Worth considering if your current veneers have issues beyond appearance (bite, wear, gumline, old restorations). They specifically discuss veneer restoration and refreshing older veneers. www.thehillsdentalspa.com

• Austin City Dental — A good option if your priority is a natural, not overly artificial result; their cosmetic approach emphasizes proportions, facial harmony, and “invisible” dental work. austincitydental.com

• Austin Dental Arts — Another established cosmetic/restorative option for patients who want careful planning and aesthetic restorations.

For a veneer redo, I’d ask every dentist:

1. “How many veneer replacement cases do you do each year?”
2. “Can I see before/after photos of patients who had old veneers replaced, not first-time veneers?”
3. “Do you use a smile preview/mockup before touching my teeth?”
4. “What porcelain system and lab/ceramist do you use?”
5. “How will you avoid the common redo problems: overly white color, thick edges, flat teeth, or unnatural gum contours?”

A good modern veneer redo usually involves:

• a digital smile design or wax-up/mockup,
• checking your bite before designing the new teeth,
• temporaries that let you “test drive” the look,
• conservative tooth preservation where possible. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

If you tell me (1) how old your veneers are, (2) how many teeth are veneered, and (3) what you dislike about them (too big, too white, too square, gum issues, etc.), I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 consults.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically to get a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d prioritize a dentist who does a lot of veneer replacement/smile-makeover work, not just someone who offers veneers.

My Austin shortlist

1. The Hills Dental Spa — my first consultation

• Westlake location.
• Specifically offers veneer restoration/replacement, including updating outdated shape, color, contours and bite.
• Their stated approach is to evaluate the existing veneers and determine whether individual replacements or a broader redesign makes sense. www.thehillsdentalspa.com
• Particularly worth considering if you want modern but not obviously fake.

2. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — if you want a dramatic, highly designed makeover

• Veneers and smile makeovers are a major focus of the practice.
• They offer digital smile design, temporaries and large smile-makeover cases. Their site lists porcelain restorations starting at $1,500/tooth. austincosmetic.com
• I'd put this one higher if you're after the very polished/celebrity-style Austin smile rather than an extremely subtle refresh.

3. Juan Vesga, DDS / Advanced Prosthodontics — best if the old veneers have functional problems

• He's a prosthodontist, which is particularly relevant if your redo involves worn teeth, bite problems, failed restorations, significant tooth reduction, or a complicated previous veneer case.
• The practice focuses specifically on prosthodontic restorative work including veneers and other complex restorations.

4. Glint Dental Studio Austin — good modern/conservative option

• Strong cosmetic focus and offers smile mock-ups, porcelain/composite veneers and other aesthetic treatments.
• The practice emphasizes seeing a preview of the proposed smile before committing.

5. Katz Dentistry — worth a consult for a natural/conservative result

• Their cosmetic work includes veneers and worn-teeth repair, and the practice has a reputation for emphasizing detailed, natural-looking cosmetic dentistry.

One I'd seriously consider

Dr. John Schmid at Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry is unusually relevant to your exact situation. His practice explicitly has a “Replacing Veneers” service and shows before/after replacement cases. He describes evaluating the old veneers, underlying teeth and new design rather than simply putting another set on top. austincosmetic.comcosmeticdentistryaustin.com

Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — veneer replacement information

What I'd do in your shoes

Don't pick based solely on Instagram before/afters. For an old-veneer redo, I'd get 2–3 consultations and ask each dentist:

1. “Can you show me 5–10 cases where you replaced someone else's old veneers?”
2. “Will I get a temporary/mock-up so I can approve the shape before the final ceramics are made?”
3. “How much natural tooth structure will need to be removed?”
4. “What ceramic/lab do you use?”
5. “How will you change the shape so they look modern without becoming bulky or excessively white?”
6. “Will you evaluate my bite before designing the new veneers?”

That last part matters a lot. A beautiful veneer case can fail aesthetically if the underlying bite, gumline or tooth proportions aren't addressed.

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), how old they are, and what you dislike about them — too white, too bulky, square, opaque, gumline, etc. — I can narrow these Austin dentists down to the 2 I'd interview first.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically for a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist these Austin dentists rather than choosing a general dentist who happens to offer veneers.

My top 3 to consult

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — best for a dramatic, high-end “smile makeover”

• Dr. Tejas Patel’s practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and full smile makeovers.
• They specifically use a consultation → smile design → temporaries → finals process, which is important when replacing an existing set.
• Their gallery and practice are geared toward the kind of contemporary, very polished aesthetic you're describing. austincosmetic.com
• Downtown: 221 W 6th St #940.

2. Glint Dental Studio Austin — my pick if you want “modern but natural”

• Boutique cosmetic practice in South Austin.
• Dr. Iana Elledge has advanced Kois training, which is a particularly relevant credential when you want cosmetic work that also respects bite/function rather than simply making teeth bigger/whiter. glintatx.com
• They emphasize customized smile design and modern digital technology.
• 1600 S 1st St, Suite 160.

3. Austin City Dental — worth considering for a less “veneery” look

• Their stated philosophy is essentially “invisible dentistry”: balanced proportions, facial features, translucency and bite rather than a cookie-cutter ultra-white smile. austincitydental.com
• That makes them especially interesting if your current veneers look too bulky, too opaque, too white, too uniform, or dated.
• 1500 W 38th St #37.

One more I'd put on the consultation list

The Hills Dental Spa in Westlake has a strong cosmetic/veneer focus and particularly good local feedback around smile makeovers. It's worth getting a quote/opinion there as a comparison.

But here's what I'd do in your shoes

Don't hire anyone after looking at only their best 5–10 cases. With a veneer redo, I'd schedule 2–3 consultations and take your existing veneers seriously as a restorative case, not just a cosmetic one.

Ask each dentist:

1. “How many full veneer replacements like mine do you do?”
2. “Can I see 5–10 before/afters of patients who came in with OLD veneers?”
3. “Will you make temporaries/mockups so I can approve the shape before the finals?”
4. “How much natural tooth structure will you need to remove?”
5. “What would you change about my current veneers—length, width, color, translucency, gum line, tooth display?”
6. “What happens if I don't like the final shape?”
7. “Who makes the veneers, and can I see examples from that lab?”

That last point is surprisingly important. For a modern result, you're looking for subtle translucency, individualized tooth shapes, controlled texture and a natural gradient, rather than the old “ten identical bright-white piano keys” aesthetic.

Also, because you're replacing existing veneers, I'd favor a dentist who can show actual replacement cases, not just beautiful first-time veneer cases. For example, Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry explicitly advertises veneer replacement and describes evaluating/removing existing veneers before designing the new ones. austincosmetic.comglintatx.comcosmeticdentistryaustin.com

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers—e.g. too white, too bulky, too long, fake-looking, gum line, no translucency, “horse teeth,” outdated shape—I can narrow this down to the 2 Austin dentists I'd personally consult first and tell you what aesthetic I'd ask for.

If you mean Austin, TX, I’d shortlist these three for a redo of older veneers with a more modern, natural-looking design:

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — my first choice
   • This practice is heavily focused on cosmetic dentistry and porcelain veneers rather than treating veneers as just one service among many.
   • Their portfolio specifically includes updating old veneers and creating a broader, more contemporary smile. austincosmetic.com
   • Patient reviews repeatedly mention wanting a natural result rather than overly uniform/"chiclet" teeth. www.rankmydentist.com
   • Downtown: 221 W. 6th St.

2. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — especially worth considering for a true veneer redo
   • This one caught my attention because there are recent reviews specifically from people replacing veneers that were 10–20 years old. One 2026 patient said Dr. John Barras redid 20-year-old veneers and produced a natural, vibrant result. www.trustindex.io
   • Barton Creek area.

3. Austin Artistic Dental — best if "modern" means natural/conservative
   • Austin Redditors specifically recommend Dr. Hulse for redoing veneers, with one patient describing the result as very natural and matching their real teeth. www.reddit.com
   • They also emphasize conservative cosmetic techniques, including approaches that preserve more natural tooth structure.

My pick for your situation

I'd consult Tejas Patel and John Barras first, then choose based on their actual before/after cases that resemble your existing veneers. For a redo, I wouldn't choose based on Google stars alone.

The big things I'd ask at the consultation:

• Can you show me 5–10 cases where you replaced old veneers, not just first-time veneers?
• How much of my existing tooth structure is still available?
• Can we do a digital smile design/mockup and temporary veneers before committing?
• What ceramic/lab do you use?
• How will you make them look modern without making them unnaturally white, bulky, or overly symmetrical?
• Will you evaluate my bite and gum position before designing the new veneers?
• What happens if I don't like the shape of the temporaries?

The last point is particularly important. With a redo, you're not starting with a blank canvas; the condition of the teeth underneath the old veneers can substantially change what's possible.

The AACD also notes that Accredited Members/Fellows have gone through a more rigorous cosmetic-credentialing process, so I'd use that as one additional filter when comparing dentists. aacd.com

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too square, gumline, fake-looking, narrow smile, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you have, I can narrow these down to the 2 Austin dentists I'd actually book consultations with.

If you’re talking about redoing older veneers rather than getting veneers for the first time, I’d be pickier than usual. You want someone who is genuinely strong at veneer replacement + smile design + bite/function, not just someone who advertises veneers.

My Austin shortlist

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — my first consultation

• Dr. Tejas Patel’s practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and full smile makeovers.
• They specifically use a consultation → smile design → temporaries → finals process, which is exactly what I’d want for a modernization project. austincosmetic.com
• Downtown Austin.
• Particularly worth considering if you want a noticeably more contemporary, polished look rather than simply replacing what you have.

Austin Cosmetic Dentistry website

2. The Hills Dental Spa — strong choice for a sophisticated/natural redo

• They specifically offer veneer restoration, including replacement of old veneers, evaluation of the bite and facial symmetry, and updating materials/shape/color. www.thehillsdentalspa.com
• Westlake/Bee Cave area.
• I’d put them high on the list if by “modern” you mean natural, elegant, less bulky/opaque, rather than the super-white “Hollywood” aesthetic.

The Hills Dental Spa website

3. Glint Dental Studio Austin — worth a consult for a modern boutique approach

• Their focus is cosmetic dentistry and smile design, with advanced digital scanning and a concierge-style experience.
• Dr. Iana Elledge has advanced Kois Center training, which is a nice credential to see for cases where aesthetics and function need to work together. glintatx.com
• South Austin.

Glint Dental Studio website

4. Gary L. Cash, DDS — another one I'd interview

• Particularly interesting because the practice offers a physical “Smile Preview” rather than relying solely on computer-generated visualization. That can be valuable before committing to irreversible veneer replacement.
• Central Austin.

One more I'd consider

Austin City Dental takes a planning-first smile-design approach, evaluating facial features, bite, tooth proportions and whether veneers are actually the best solution. austincitydental.com

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd get 2–3 consultations before choosing anyone and specifically say:

“I have older veneers and want a contemporary, natural-looking redesign. I don't necessarily want them simply replaced exactly as they are now. I want to see what you'd change about the shape, length, translucency, color and gumline.”

Then ask to see 10+ before/after cases of actual veneer replacements, not just first-time veneer cases.

And importantly, don't let anyone prep your teeth until you've approved the proposed shape using temporaries/mockups. Veneer replacement is irreversible because the underlying teeth have generally already been prepared. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

If you tell me what you dislike about your current veneers (too white, too bulky, too square, too long, gumline, visible edges, fake-looking, etc.) and roughly how many teeth, I can narrow this to the 2 Austin dentists I'd interview first and tell you what aesthetic style I'd ask each one for.

If you’re redoing older veneers and want a noticeably more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist these Austin dentists rather than choosing a general dentist who happens to offer veneers.

My Austin shortlist

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — my first consult for a modern cosmetic look

Dr. Tejas Patel’s practice is heavily focused on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers. Their own gallery/reviews emphasize natural-looking results and a design-oriented process, and they specifically discuss minimizing tooth reduction where appropriate. austincosmetic.com

2. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — especially interesting for a true veneer redo

This one jumps out because there are recent reviews specifically from people who had old veneers replaced. One March 2026 review describes veneers originally placed 20 years earlier being redone by Dr. John D. Barras, with the patient specifically praising the natural, vibrant result. The practice also has extensive veneer/smile-makeover experience. www.trustindex.io

3. Glint Dental Studio Austin — boutique/high-end option

Worth considering if you want a more contemporary boutique experience. They combine cosmetic dentistry with digital scanning and restorative technology, and their business profile shows a strong review history.

4. Austin Artistic Dental — particularly interesting if you want very natural rather than “Hollywood”

A recent Austin Reddit discussion specifically mentioned Dr. Hulse for redoing veneers and crowns, with the commenter emphasizing that the result looked natural and matched their teeth. www.reddit.com

5. Advanced Prosthodontics — I'd consider this if your existing veneers have complicated underlying issues

A prosthodontist is particularly useful when you're dealing with significant wear, bite/occlusion issues, damaged teeth, crowns mixed with veneers, or a previous veneer job that has failed. This practice focuses on advanced prosthodontic and cosmetic restoration.

If it were my smile

I'd book 3 consultations, probably:

1. Tejas Patel — for the modern aesthetic/design approach
2. John Barras / Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — because of the unusually relevant veneer-redo track record
3. Austin Artistic Dental — as the natural/conservative comparison

And I wouldn't let anyone prep your teeth at the first appointment.

For an old-veneer redo, ask each dentist to show you:

• Before/after cases involving replacement veneers, not first-time veneers
• Cases with a similar starting point to yours
• Their preferred ceramic/lab
• How much additional tooth reduction they'll need
• Whether they'll make prototypes/mock-ups before permanently prepping anything
• How they handle bite/occlusion and nighttime grinding
• Exactly what happens if you don't like the temporaries or final shape

The biggest thing I'd look for is whether their portfolio still looks good when you zoom in—natural translucency, texture, gum contours, tooth proportions and individual variation. A lot of “modern” veneer work can look great in an Instagram photo but overly opaque or uniform in person.

If you want, send me a photo of your current veneers (front smile + close-up), and I can tell you what aesthetic direction I'd pursue—e.g. natural-modern, soft Hollywood, ultra-white, longer/less square, less bulky, etc.—and narrow the Austin list to 2–3 dentists I'd personally investigate first.

If you’re replacing older veneers and want a more modern, natural-looking smile, I’d shortlist 3–4 Austin dentists rather than choosing purely by reviews. Redo cases are trickier than first-time veneers because the dentist has to assess the existing prep, bite, gum position, tooth structure, and what can be preserved.

My Austin shortlist

1. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Dr. John Barras / Dr. Hay

My first consultation for a true veneer redo. They are heavily focused on cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers, and there are recent patient reports specifically describing 20-year-old veneers being replaced by Dr. Barras with a natural, vibrant result. www.trustindex.io

2. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS

My pick if you want a distinctly modern, high-design cosmetic look. Veneers are a major focus of the practice, and their published cases emphasize detailed smile design and porcelain veneers. austincosmetic.com

3. Austin Artistic Dental

Worth a consultation if your goal is “beautiful but nobody can tell they're veneers.” Interestingly, an Austin Reddit discussion specifically had a patient recommending Dr. Hulse for redoing veneers and crowns, praising the natural appearance and lab work. www.reddit.com

4. Prosthodontics of Texas

I'd put this one high on the list if your existing veneers have bite problems, significant wear, recession, broken teeth, multiple crowns, or you've had previous dental work fail. It's a prosthodontic practice, so the emphasis is more comprehensive restorative planning rather than purely cosmetic makeover. Their process also includes a veneer prototype/mock-up before committing.

One more I'd consider

Austin City Dental is interesting if you want a more natural/subtle aesthetic rather than the ultra-white “Hollywood” veneer look. Their reviews include patients who had problems from previous dental work corrected, as well as praise for natural-looking veneers.

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd book 2 consultations, probably:

#1 Cosmetic Dentists of Austin + #2 Tejas Patel

Then ask both dentists:

• “Can you show me before-and-afters of veneer replacement cases, not just first-time veneers?”
• “How much of my existing tooth structure will you need to remove?”
• “Can you make provisional/mock-up veneers so I can approve the shape before the final ceramics?”
• “What ceramic/lab do you use?”
• “How will you make these look modern without looking overly thick or opaque?”
• “What happens if I don't like the shape/color of the finals?”
• “Do I need to replace every existing veneer, or can some be preserved?”

The mock-up/provisional stage is particularly important. For a redo, I'd be much more interested in seeing how a dentist designs your smile than in a generic “smile gallery.”

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), how old they are, and what you dislike about them now—too white, too bulky, square, gumline, unnatural, worn, etc.—I can narrow this to the 2 Austin dentists I'd choose for your specific redo and compare their aesthetics/reviews/labs.

If you’re redoing older veneers specifically to get a more modern, natural-looking Austin smile, I’d shortlist these rather than choosing a generic cosmetic dentist:

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — best if you want a high-end, obvious smile transformation. Dr. Tejas Patel’s practice is heavily focused on veneers and smile makeovers, and they specifically show a consult → smile design → temporaries → permanents process. They also publish a 5-year smile-makeover warranty. austincosmetic.com

2. The Hills Dental Spa — my pick if you want “modern but not fake.” Their veneer-restoration service is specifically aimed at outdated veneers, evaluating the existing work, bite and facial symmetry before deciding whether to replace everything or selectively restore it. austincosmetic.comwww.thehillsdentalspa.comaustinprostheticdental.com

3. Austin City Dental — strong choice for a more natural/understated aesthetic. Their approach emphasizes facial proportions, translucency, tooth length and bite rather than simply making teeth bigger and whiter. austincitydental.com

4. Dr. Ernesto Carmona Jr, DDS / Austin Prosthodontics — I'd consider this especially if your old veneers have bite issues, significant wear, gum problems, or underlying tooth damage. Prosthodontic training is particularly relevant when a veneer redo becomes a complicated restorative case. austinprostheticdental.com

5. Glint Dental Studio Austin — worth a consultation if you want a boutique/modern experience and digital smile planning. Dr. Iana Elledge has advanced Kois training, and the practice emphasizes cosmetic dentistry that's both aesthetic and functional. glintatx.com

Who I'd personally consult first

I'd get 3 consultations before committing:

Tejas Patel + The Hills Dental Spa + Austin City Dental.

Those three should give you a useful spectrum: high-impact/celebrity-style → refined restoration → natural/invisible dentistry.

One important point: don't let the dentist start by talking shade and tooth shape. With old veneers, you want them to evaluate the underlying teeth, gums, bite, existing veneer thickness, and how much enamel remains. Ask for temporaries/mockups before the final ceramics are made. You want to see the proposed shape in your actual face—not just approve a computer rendering.

And I'd specifically tell them: “I want my veneers to look modern, but I don't want the stereotypical ultra-white, bulky, identical-tooth look.”

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you have (6, 8, 10, 20), whether they're porcelain or composite, and what you dislike about them (too white, too bulky, too square, gumline, length, etc.), I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd choose for your particular redo.

Yes. For redoing old veneers, I’d be pickier than I would be for a first-time veneer case. You want someone who does a lot of veneer replacement/smile makeovers, understands bite and gum health, and can make the result look modern without the obvious “Turkey-teeth”/overly bulky look.

My Austin shortlist

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — my first consultation

• Very veneer-focused practice; its site says Dr. Patel has completed thousands of veneer cases and does veneer/smile-makeover work routinely. austincosmetic.com
• They specifically advertise a 5-year smile-makeover warranty and currently list veneers at $1,500+ per tooth. austincosmetic.com
• Best fit if you want a highly aesthetic, dramatic-but-controlled modern smile makeover.

2. The Hills Dental Spa — particularly interesting for an actual veneer redo

• Their practice specifically discusses veneer restoration/replacement, including outdated aesthetics, bite changes, edge discoloration and worn veneers. www.thehillsdentalspa.com
• Dr. Kevin Winters is described as combining cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry, which is useful when old veneers need to be redesigned around your bite—not just replaced cosmetically.
• This would be one of my top two consultations if your existing veneers are quite old.

3. Prosthodontics of Texas — best specialist-oriented option

• A prosthodontist is worth considering if your old veneers have wear, bite problems, recession, broken teeth, crowns underneath, or significant underlying restoration issues.
• They offer veneers with a prototype/mock-up stage, which is exactly the kind of process I'd want before committing to a full redo.

4. Austin City Dental — natural-looking option

• Their philosophy specifically emphasizes avoiding teeth that look overly white, bulky or artificial, and they discuss facial proportions, translucency and bite when designing veneers. austincitydental.com
• I'd consider them if your definition of “modern” is natural, elegant, slightly translucent and not obviously veneered.

5. Glint Dental Studio Austin — boutique/modern experience

• Strong cosmetic orientation and modern digital technology, including in-house scanning/milling capabilities.
• Worth a consultation if you want a more contemporary, concierge-style experience.

If it were my smile

I'd book 3 consultations, not choose based on Instagram photos alone:

1. Tejas Patel — aesthetic/veneer specialist approach
2. The Hills Dental Spa — veneer replacement + bite/function
3. Prosthodontics of Texas — specialist second opinion

Then I'd choose the dentist who can show you multiple cases where they replaced old, dated veneers with a natural modern result.

One important thing: don't let anyone prep your teeth until you've seen the proposed final shape in your mouth. Ask for a diagnostic wax-up/mock-up or temporary preview. You want to evaluate tooth length, width, gum display, midline, incisal edges, color/translucency and how the smile looks when you talk—not just a close-up photo.

If you tell me roughly how old your veneers are, how many you have (e.g. 6, 8, 10, 20), and what you dislike about them (too white, too bulky, too square, gumline, etc.), I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin dentists I'd personally prioritize for your specific redo.
