Yes. For the combination you described—professional whitening + porcelain veneers + gum reshaping/contouring—I’d prioritize a cosmetic dentist who explicitly plans these procedures as one coordinated smile makeover rather than having you bounce between unrelated offices.

My top Austin options

1. Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — Westlake
   • Probably the closest match to your exact request.
   • The practice specifically offers porcelain veneers, professional whitening, laser gum contouring, and complete smile makeovers. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com
   • Dr. Schmid's practice emphasizes individualized cosmetic planning rather than high-volume dentistry. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com
   • 3355 Bee Caves Rd, Ste 201, Austin.

2. Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin
   • Another particularly strong fit.
   • Dr. Iana Elledge's practice offers porcelain veneers, whitening, gum contouring, and smile makeovers, with digital smile design and a cosmetic-focused approach. glintatx.com
   • 1600 S 1st St, Suite 160.
   • Good option if you want a boutique, highly aesthetic experience.

3. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Downtown
   • Particularly veneer/smile-makeover focused, with a substantial emphasis on cosmetic cases and smile design. austincosmetic.com
   • 221 W 6th St #940.
   • I'd specifically ask them whether the gum reshaping would be performed in-house or coordinated with a periodontist.

4. Austin Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry — Southwest Austin/Dripping Springs area
   • Interesting if you want a practice with broader periodontal/implant capabilities in addition to cosmetics.
   • They list whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring/gum lift, and smile makeovers among their services.

If it were my shortlist

I'd start with Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry and Glint. Both explicitly advertise the exact three components you're looking for, rather than merely offering veneers and calling that a "smile makeover."

One important sequencing point: whitening is generally done before the final veneer shade is selected, because porcelain veneers don't whiten afterward. Gum contouring may need to happen before the final veneers if changing the gum line affects tooth proportions. The dentist should therefore design the final smile first and then establish the treatment sequence.

At your consultation, I'd ask:

• “Can you coordinate gum contouring, whitening, and 8–10 veneers as one treatment plan?”
• “Who actually performs the gum reshaping?”
• “Will I see a digital smile design/mock-up before any teeth are prepared?”
• “How much enamel would you remove for the veneers?”
• “Can I see before/after cases involving both gum contouring and veneers, not just veneers?”
• “What is the complete fee, including temporaries, lab work, gum procedure, whitening, and follow-up?”

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you want (e.g. 6, 8, 10, or 12) and whether you're looking for a very natural or a more dramatic/celebrity-style result, I can narrow these down to the best 2–3 Austin dentists for your particular aesthetic.

Yes. For what you’re describing—professional whitening + porcelain veneers + gum reshaping/contouring as one coordinated smile makeover—I’d prioritize a dentist who routinely plans all three rather than having you piece together separate providers.

My top Austin options

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — My strongest match. The practice specifically lists porcelain veneers, professional whitening, laser gum contouring, and complete smile makeovers. Their site also emphasizes individualized cosmetic planning rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Glint Dental Studio Austin — A particularly interesting option if you want a very comprehensive cosmetic setup. It offers veneers, whitening, gum contouring, smile mock-ups, and has periodontal/oral-surgery capabilities in the practice.
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Strong cosmetic focus, with porcelain veneers, smile makeovers and laser gum contouring. This could be worth comparing if you're primarily interested in an aesthetic transformation.
• North Austin Dentistry — Offers whitening, veneers, gum contouring and smile makeovers in one practice, making it a convenient option if you want one office coordinating the treatment.

What I'd ask at the consultation

The sequence matters. In many cases, the dentist will evaluate your gums and bite first, reshape the gumline if necessary, whiten the natural teeth, and then determine the veneer shade/design so everything matches. Austin practices explicitly describe staging these procedures rather than simply doing everything at once. myDental Enamel Dentistry

I'd specifically ask:

1. Do you personally perform the gum contouring, or will I be referred to a periodontist?
2. Can I see before/after cases involving veneers + gum reshaping, rather than veneers alone?
3. Will you create a digital smile design/mock-up before preparing my teeth?
4. What is the proposed order of whitening, gum reshaping and veneers?
5. How many teeth do you recommend veneering, and why those particular teeth?
6. What is the total fee for the entire plan, including temporary veneers/mock-ups, gum treatment and lab fees?

If I were narrowing this to two consultations, I'd start with Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry and Glint Dental Studio. Contemporary is especially compelling because the practice explicitly offers all three treatments you're seeking, while Glint appears to have broader periodontal/surgical resources in-house.

If you tell me your Austin area (Downtown, Westlake, North Austin, South Austin, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you're considering (e.g. 6, 8, 10, or 20), I can narrow it to 3 practices and compare their doctors, reviews, location, consultation options, and likely price range.

Yes. For your specific combination—whitening + porcelain veneers + gum reshaping—I’d prioritize a cosmetic dentist who can design and sequence the entire case rather than sending you to separate providers.

My Austin shortlist

• Dr. John Schmid, D.D.S. LVIF - Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry — my top match. The practice specifically lists porcelain veneers, professional whitening, laser gum contouring, and complete smile makeovers. That means the three procedures you’re asking about are explicitly within the same cosmetic practice. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry
• Glint Dental Studio Austin — particularly interesting if you want a modern, highly cosmetic approach. They offer smile makeovers, veneers, whitening and laser gum contouring, with digital smile-mock-up/planning capabilities.
• North Austin Dentistry — a good option if you prefer a larger comprehensive practice. Their listed cosmetic services include whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring and smile makeovers.
• Barton Oaks Dental Group — worth considering if you want a broader multidisciplinary setup; they advertise veneers, whitening, Invisalign and smile-makeover planning alongside other dental specialties.
• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — another cosmetic-focused option, particularly if veneers are the centerpiece; they also advertise laser gum contouring and smile makeovers.

If it were my smile

I'd start with Dr. Schmid and Glint and compare their proposed treatment plans. The important thing isn't simply finding someone who offers all three procedures—it's finding someone who understands sequencing them.

For example, whitening is generally done before selecting the final veneer shade, while gum reshaping may need to happen before the definitive veneers so the gumline has time to stabilize. A good dentist should therefore show you the finished smile design first and then explain the order of treatment. Practices in Austin explicitly describe this kind of staged approach. myDental Enamel Dentistry

At the consultation, I'd ask:

1. Will you personally coordinate all three procedures?
2. Do you recommend gum contouring before the veneers, and how long would you wait afterward?
3. Can I see before/after cases where the patient had both gum reshaping and veneers?
4. Will you create a digital/mock-up smile design before preparing my teeth?
5. How many veneers would you recommend, and why?
6. What is the total fee for the complete plan, including the gum procedure and whitening?
7. Who performs the gum reshaping—your dentist or a periodontist?

That last question is particularly important if you have significant gum asymmetry or a "gummy smile"; sometimes a periodontist is the appropriate specialist for the soft-tissue portion.

If you tell me which part of Austin you're in (Downtown, Westlake, South Austin, North Austin, etc.) and roughly your budget, I can narrow this to 3 dentists and compare their veneer/gum expertise, reviews, location, consultation options, and likely price range.

Yes. For your combination of professional whitening + porcelain veneers + gum reshaping, I’d prioritize an Austin practice that can do the treatment as one coordinated cosmetic plan, rather than having you bounce between separate dentists.

My Austin shortlist

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — strongest overall fit
   • Offers porcelain/composite veneers, professional whitening, gum contouring/gum lifts, and smile makeovers.
   • Their practice also has periodontal and oral-surgery capabilities, which is useful if your gum reshaping is more involved.
   • South Austin: 1600 S 1st St, Suite 160.
   • Their cosmetic approach includes a smile mock-up/preview, which I'd specifically want before committing to veneers. www.mydental.com

2. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — best if veneers are your main priority
   • Downtown Austin, with a strong cosmetic/veneer focus.
   • I'd ask specifically whether they perform your planned gum contouring in-house or coordinate with a periodontist.

3. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — good high-end cosmetic option
   • Barton Creek area.
   • Their services include veneers, whitening, smile makeovers and laser gum contouring, so the treatment combination you're describing is directly within their cosmetic scope.

4. North Austin Dentistry — good one-office coordination option
   • Particularly attractive if you're in North Austin.
   • They offer whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring, Invisalign and smile makeovers, with broader dental/periodontal capabilities in the practice.

5. Smile 360 — good South Austin cosmetic choice
   • South Lamar.
   • Their veneer materials specifically recommend whitening before veneer shade selection, which is important when you're combining the treatments. www.smile360atx.com

One other practice worth considering

Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry / Dr. John Schmid explicitly lists porcelain veneers, professional whitening, laser gum contouring and smile makeovers among its cosmetic services. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

How I'd sequence your makeover

Typically, you don't want to simply do all three procedures at once. A dentist should evaluate your gums and teeth first, then generally plan around:

gum health → gum reshaping (if needed) → whitening → veneer shade/design → veneers → final refinement

The exact order can change depending on how much gum reshaping you need and whether your gums need to heal before veneer preparation.

My first two consultations would be Glint and The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin. I'd ask each for a written treatment sequence, total fee, number of veneers recommended, type of gum procedure, and digital/mock-up preview. Most importantly, ask to see before-and-after cases where the same dentist coordinated veneers + gum contouring, not just isolated veneer cases.

If you tell me roughly how many veneers you want (e.g. 6, 8, 10, or 20) and whether you're in North, South, Central, or West Austin, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 practices and compare their pricing/reviews.

Yes — there are several Austin practices that appear well suited to coordinate whitening + veneers + gum reshaping as one smile-makeover plan, rather than making you manage separate dentists.

My top picks

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin
   • Particularly strong match for what you're describing.
   • Offers porcelain/composite veneers, professional whitening, gum contouring/laser gum reshaping, and smile makeovers.
   • They also offer a smile mock-up/preview and have periodontal and surgical capabilities in the practice.
   • 1600 S 1st St, Suite 160, Austin. www.mydental.com

2. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek
   • A good choice if your priority is a highly cosmetic, veneer-focused makeover.
   • Their services include porcelain veneers, whitening, smile makeovers and laser gum contouring.
   • 2700 Barton Creek Blvd, Suite 130. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

3. North Austin Dentistry — North Austin
   • Offers Zoom whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring and smile makeovers in one practice.
   • This could be especially convenient if you want one office coordinating the sequence rather than referrals between offices.

4. Austin Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry — Southwest Austin/Dripping Springs
   • Interesting option if you want a more multidisciplinary setup.
   • Their listed services include whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring/gum lift, clear aligners and restorative dentistry, with periodontal and surgical capabilities.

One I'd especially investigate

Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry / Dr. John Schmid explicitly lists porcelain veneers + teeth whitening + laser gum contouring + complete smile makeovers. Their site also describes a treatment approach where multiple cosmetic procedures can be combined into a single makeover plan. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

How I'd approach the consultation

Don't simply ask, "How much are veneers?" Tell them you want a comprehensive smile design and specifically ask them to determine:

gum reshaping → whitening → veneer shade selection → temporary/mock-up → final veneers

The order matters. For example, whitening is generally best planned before selecting the final veneer shade, while gum contouring may need to happen before final veneer design. A good cosmetic dentist should evaluate your gums, bite, tooth proportions and facial features before recommending how many veneers you actually need.

If you tell me whether you're looking for something very natural vs. the ultra-white "Hollywood" look, roughly how many teeth you want veneered, and which part of Austin you're in, I can narrow this to the 3 best dentists for your specific makeover and compare their specialties, reviews, location, and consultation options.

For a complete smile makeover combining whitening + veneers + gum reshaping (gum contouring/crown lengthening), you’ll want a cosmetic dentist who does the overall smile design and sequencing, rather than three separate providers. In Austin, these practices are worth considering:

Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS
A cosmetic-focused practice in downtown Austin that emphasizes veneers and smile makeover cases.

The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin
Worth a consultation if veneers are a major part of your plan; they focus on cosmetic/restorative cases and advertise gum contouring as part of smile enhancement.

Smile 360

Austin Dental Spa
Another option for a cosmetic-focused approach, with veneers, whitening, and smile makeover planning.

What I’d ask at the consultation

For this specific combination, ask:

• “Do you personally perform the gum reshaping, or do you refer to a periodontist?”
• “Will gum contouring happen before veneers so the final tooth proportions are correct?”
• “Do you use a digital smile preview/mock-up before preparing teeth?”
• “Can you show before-and-after cases that include veneers and gum reshaping?”
• “What is the planned order: whitening → gum reshaping → veneers, or another sequence?”

A typical plan is often:

1. Exam + photos + digital smile design
2. Treat gum health issues if present
3. Gum reshaping to establish symmetry
4. Whitening (especially to match the overall shade)
5. Veneers after the gumline has healed and the final proportions are confirmed

If you tell me your Austin area (Downtown, South Austin, Westlake, North Austin, etc.), your budget range, and whether you want natural-looking vs. Hollywood-style veneers, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 fits.

Yes. For whitening + porcelain veneers + gum reshaping, I’d prioritize a dentist who can make the entire treatment plan and sequence in-house, rather than having you coordinate three separate providers.

My Austin shortlist

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — strongest overall fit

• Offers smile makeovers, veneers, professional whitening, and laser gum contouring.
• Also has periodontal/oral-surgery capabilities, which is useful if the gum reshaping turns out to be more involved.
• Their cosmetic workflow includes a smile mock-up/preview and digital technology.
• South Austin: 1600 S 1st St, Suite 160.

2. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — cosmetic-focused option

• Particularly focused on porcelain veneers and smile makeovers.
• Downtown at 221 W 6th St, Suite 940.
• I'd specifically confirm that the gum reshaping portion is performed by the same practice/provider or coordinated with their periodontal partner.

3. North Austin Dentistry — convenient all-in-one option

• Offers Zoom whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring and smile makeovers under one practice.
• Particularly attractive if you want one office coordinating multiple stages rather than bouncing between specialists.

4. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — worth a consultation for a veneer-heavy makeover

• Their focus is heavily cosmetic, with porcelain veneers, smile makeovers and laser gum contouring.
• Barton Creek area at 2700 Barton Creek Blvd, Suite 130.

There's also a particularly strong single-provider match: Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry with Dr. John Schmid explicitly lists porcelain veneers + professional whitening + laser gum contouring + complete smile makeovers as services. Their site says these procedures can be combined into a comprehensive makeover. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

What I'd do in your situation

I'd start with Glint and Dr. Schmid's practice, and get two consultations before committing. The important thing isn't simply whether they offer all three procedures—it's whether they have a clear sequence for them.

Typically, you want the dentist to determine:

gum reshaping → whitening → veneer shade selection/design → veneers

The exact order can vary depending on your gums, existing tooth color, bite, and how much gum needs to be removed. A good cosmetic dentist should also show you a digital/mock-up preview before permanently altering teeth.

One more option worth considering is Austin Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, particularly if you're southwest of Austin; it advertises veneers, whitening and gum contouring together and has both cosmetic and periodontal capabilities.

If you tell me which part of Austin you're in (Downtown, Westlake, North Austin, South Austin, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you're considering, I can narrow this to the 3 best practices and compare their reviews, cosmetic credentials, pricing/financing, and before-and-after work.

Yes. For whitening + veneers + gum reshaping as one coordinated smile makeover, I’d prioritize practices that explicitly offer all three rather than having you piece the treatment together between different dentists.

My top Austin options

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin

This is probably my best overall fit for what you described. Their services include smile makeovers, porcelain/composite veneers, professional whitening, and laser gum contouring. They also offer smile-mockup planning, which is particularly useful when you're combining gumline changes with veneers.

2. North Austin Dentistry — North Austin

A good option if you want everything handled under one roof. They list Zoom whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring, and smile makeovers among their cosmetic services.

3. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek

Worth considering if veneers are the centerpiece of your makeover. They focus heavily on cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers and also offer laser gum contouring and whitening.

4. Veneer Lounge Austin TX — South Congress

More veneer-focused, but they also offer Zoom whitening and gum lifts. I'd consider this if you're primarily interested in a highly cosmetic/veneers-driven result.

5. Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry / Dr. John Schmid — Westlake

Their own site specifically lists porcelain veneers + professional whitening + laser gum contouring + complete smile makeovers. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com
Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

If it were my smile

I'd start with Glint and Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry, then get one additional consultation at The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin. The key isn't simply finding someone who can perform each procedure—it's finding someone who can design the final smile first and sequence the procedures correctly.

For example, whitening generally needs to be coordinated with the veneer shade, while gum reshaping may need to happen before final veneer design/placement. A good dentist should evaluate your gum health, bite, tooth proportions and facial/smile symmetry before deciding how many veneers you actually need.

At the consultation, I'd specifically ask:

• “Can you design the gum contour and veneers together?”
• “Can I see a digital smile preview/mock-up before committing?”
• “Which teeth would you veneer, and which could be treated conservatively?”
• “Should whitening happen before the veneers?”
• “Will the gum reshaping be done in-house or referred to a periodontist?”
• “Can you give me the complete treatment sequence and total fee upfront?”

If you tell me roughly where in Austin you are (Downtown, South Austin, Westlake, North Austin, etc.) and whether you're looking for a natural-looking vs. Hollywood-white result, I can narrow this to the 3 best dentists for your particular makeover and compare their locations, reviews, specialties, and consultation options.

Yes. For whitening + veneers + gum reshaping, I’d prioritize a dentist/practice that can plan the whole smile rather than treating each piece separately.

My top Austin options

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin
   • Particularly strong match for what you described: veneers, professional whitening, gum contouring/“gum lifts,” and smile makeovers are all offered.
   • They also have periodontal and oral-surgery capabilities in the practice, which can be useful if your gum reshaping needs more than straightforward cosmetic contouring.
   • Best fit if you want a highly cosmetic, modern, one-practice approach.

2. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek
   • Very cosmetic-focused, with porcelain veneers, whitening, smile makeovers, and laser gum contouring.
   • A good choice if veneers and the overall aesthetic design are your main priorities.

3. North Austin Dentistry — North Austin
   • Offers the three components you're asking about—whitening, veneers and gum contouring—along with smile makeovers and Invisalign.
   • Attractive if you want one office to coordinate several phases of treatment.

4. Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — Mueller
   • Worth considering for a more multidisciplinary approach. The center includes cosmetic, periodontal, prosthodontic, oral-surgery and restorative capabilities under one roof.
   • I'd especially consider this if your case involves significant gum work, bite issues, worn teeth, or other restorative needs.

One particularly interesting alternative

Smile Boutique Implant Center | Dr. Afsaneh Rad, D.M.D., M.Sc., M.M.Sc. is a prosthodontics-focused practice. If you're looking for a prosthodontist-led cosmetic plan, that's worth a consultation, particularly if the veneers are extensive or you have bite/restorative concerns.

For comparison, Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry specifically advertises the exact combination of porcelain veneers + professional whitening + laser gum contouring + complete smile makeovers, under Dr. John Schmid. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

How I'd approach this

I'd get 2 consultations before committing, ideally at Glint and Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry. Ask each dentist to show you:

• A proposed treatment sequence — gum reshaping vs. whitening vs. veneers
• A digital smile preview/mock-up
• How many teeth they recommend veneering and why
• Whether the gum reshaping is done by the same dentist or a periodontist
• What happens if your gums change after the veneers
• The total all-in price, including temporaries, gum work, whitening, veneers and follow-ups
• Whether they can show you before/after cases involving both gum contouring and veneers, rather than veneers alone

The sequencing matters. For example, one Austin practice describes its makeover process as whitening first, followed by bonding/veneers, while gum contouring may be performed beforehand to establish the desired gum-to-tooth proportions. www.mydental.com

If you tell me which part of Austin you're in (downtown, Westlake, South Austin, North Austin, etc.) and roughly how much you're willing to spend, I can narrow this to 3 dentists with the strongest fit and compare their reviews, veneer approach, gum reshaping, consultation process, and likely price range.

Yes. For whitening + veneers + gum reshaping as one coordinated smile makeover, I’d prioritize a dentist/practice that does all three in-house rather than piecing together separate providers.

Best Austin options

• Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin. This is one of the strongest matches: they offer veneers, professional whitening, gum contouring/laser reshaping, and smile-mock-up planning. Their team also includes periodontal and surgical capabilities, which can be useful when gum aesthetics are part of the case.

• Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Downtown. A cosmetic-focused practice with an emphasis on veneers and smile makeovers. Good option if your priority is primarily aesthetic design and veneers.

• The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek. Particularly relevant for a veneer-centered makeover; the practice also offers whitening and laser gum contouring.

• North Austin Dentistry — North Austin. Offers whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring, Invisalign and smile makeovers in one office, so it could be convenient if you want everything coordinated under one roof.

• Austin Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry — Dripping Springs/West Austin area. Their listed cosmetic services specifically include whitening, porcelain veneers and gum contouring/gum lifts, along with periodontal and surgical capabilities.

One I'd especially consider

Glint Dental Studio looks particularly well aligned with what you're asking for because the practice combines cosmetic dentistry + whitening + veneers + gum reshaping + digital smile planning, rather than simply advertising veneers. enameldentistry.com

Another particularly compelling option is Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry / Dr. John Schmid. Their practice explicitly lists porcelain veneers, professional whitening, laser gum contouring and complete smile makeovers. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry

What I'd ask at the consultation

The important part isn't just whether they offer all three procedures—it's whether they sequence them correctly. I'd ask:

1. Will you create a digital smile design/mock-up before preparing the veneers?
2. Would you reshape the gums before the veneers, and how much gum would be removed?
3. Will whitening be done before choosing the final veneer shade?
4. Who actually performs the gum reshaping—a cosmetic dentist or periodontist?
5. How many teeth do you recommend veneering, and why?
6. Can I see before/after cases involving both gum contouring and veneers?
7. Are the veneers done by an in-house or outside laboratory, and can I see examples of their work?

I'd be especially cautious of anyone who jumps straight to "20 veneers" without first evaluating your gum health, bite, tooth position and natural tooth structure. A good makeover should be planned around those factors, not just the final appearance.

If you tell me your Austin area (Downtown, North, South, Westlake, etc.) and roughly how many teeth you want changed, I can narrow this to 3 dentists and compare their specialties, reviews, locations, and likely fit for your specific makeover.

Yes. For a combined whitening + veneers + gum reshaping makeover, I’d prioritize a dentist who can plan the entire sequence rather than having you coordinate three separate providers.

My Austin shortlist

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — my first choice to investigate
   • South Austin, 1600 S 1st St.
   • Offers the three things you specifically want: professional whitening, veneers, and laser gum contouring, plus smile mock-ups/digital planning and aligners.
   • The practice also has periodontal and surgical capabilities, which is useful if the gum component turns out to be more involved.
   • This looks particularly well suited if you want a boutique, cosmetic-focused approach with everything coordinated in one practice.

2. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin
   • Barton Creek, 2700 Barton Creek Blvd.
   • Strong cosmetic focus, including porcelain veneers, whitening, smile makeovers and laser gum contouring.
   • Worth considering if your priority is a highly aesthetic, veneer-focused result.

3. North Austin Dentistry
   • North Austin, 6850 Austin Center Blvd.
   • Offers whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring and smile makeovers in one office, so it may be convenient if you're on the north side.

4. Austin Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry
   • Southwest Austin/Dripping Springs area.
   • Offers whitening, veneers and gum contouring, with periodontal and surgical services available as well. This could be a particularly good option if your gum reshaping requires more than straightforward cosmetic contouring.

One important sequencing issue

I wouldn't simply book whitening, then veneers, then gum reshaping independently. The dentist should first design the final tooth shape, gum line and desired shade, because the order matters. For example, whitening is commonly done before veneers so the veneer shade can be selected appropriately; gum contouring may need to happen before final veneers so the proportions are correct. Austin practices describing comprehensive makeovers specifically emphasize treatment sequencing. www.mydental.com

If it were my smile, I'd get consultations from Glint and Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry first, and ask each for a written treatment sequence, number of veneers, gum procedure being proposed, digital preview/mock-up, total price, and examples of comparable cases.

If you tell me which part of Austin you're in (downtown, Westlake, South Austin, North Austin, etc.) and roughly how many veneers you want, I can narrow this to the 3 best practices for your situation and compare their reviews, pricing information, credentials, and before/after work.

Yes. For the combination you’re describing—professional whitening + porcelain veneers + gum reshaping/contouring—I’d prioritize a dentist who routinely plans the whole smile rather than sending you to three unrelated providers.

How I'd approach your consultation

I'd ask them to design the final smile first, rather than simply asking for veneers. The sequence can matter: gum contouring may need to happen before veneers, while whitening is generally planned around the final veneer shade. A good practice should evaluate your gums, bite, tooth proportions and facial symmetry before deciding how much enamel to alter.

Ask these four questions:

• “Do you personally coordinate gum contouring, whitening and porcelain veneers as one treatment plan?”
• “Can I see a digital smile design/mock-up before committing to veneers?”
• “Who performs the gum reshaping—my cosmetic dentist or a periodontist?”
• “Can you show me before-and-after cases similar to my gumline and tooth shape?”

If I were narrowing it to three consultations, I'd start with Glint Dental Studio, Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry, and Lifetime Smiles. They appear to have the closest match to your exact combination rather than just offering veneers alone. www.atxdentistry.comcosmeticdentistryaustin.com

If you tell me whether you're looking for a very natural smile or a more dramatic “Hollywood” veneer look, and roughly how many teeth you want veneered (e.g. 6, 8, 10, or 20), I can narrow this to the best 2–3 Austin dentists for your specific makeover.

Yes. For the specific combination you want—professional whitening + porcelain veneers + gum reshaping/contouring—I’d prioritize a dentist who routinely plans these as one coordinated smile-design case rather than sending you to separate providers.

My Austin shortlist

1. Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin
   • Particularly strong match for your request: veneers, professional whitening, gum contouring/laser gum lifts, and smile-mockup planning are all offered.
   • They also have periodontal/oral-surgery capabilities in the practice, which can be useful if your gum work requires more than simple cosmetic contouring.

2. North Austin Dentistry — North Austin
   • Offers veneers, Zoom whitening, gum contouring and smile makeovers under one roof.
   • A good choice if you want a comprehensive dental office rather than a veneer-focused boutique.

3. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek/West Austin
   • More heavily cosmetic-focused, particularly veneers and smile makeovers.
   • Also advertises laser gum contouring, so it fits your three-part treatment particularly well.

4. Austin Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry — Southwest Austin
   • Offers porcelain veneers, professional whitening and gum contouring/gum lifts, with periodontic and oral-surgery capabilities available.
   • Worth considering if you have significant gumline concerns in addition to purely cosmetic issues.

5. Barton Oaks Dental Group — Westlake
   • A particularly comprehensive "one roof" option, with cosmetic dentistry, veneers, whitening, gum treatment and orthodontic/restorative services.
   • This could be useful if your dentist discovers that alignment, bite, or gum health needs to be addressed before veneers.

One I'd put at the top

Glint Dental Studio looks like the closest match to exactly what you're describing. Their combination of smile mock-up/design + veneers + whitening + laser gum contouring means you can discuss the finished smile first and have the procedures sequenced around that design.

There's an important sequencing issue: gum reshaping and whitening generally shouldn't simply be done independently of the veneer plan. The dentist should determine the final tooth proportions and gumline first, and whitening needs to be considered before selecting the final veneer shade. A proper consultation should give you a staged treatment plan rather than selling you three unrelated procedures.

For comparison, Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry with Dr. John Schmid explicitly lists porcelain veneers, professional whitening, laser gum contouring and complete smile makeovers as services. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

I'd ask each office these 4 questions before committing:

• "Do you personally perform all three—veneers, whitening and gum contouring?"
• "Will you create a digital smile design/mock-up before preparing my teeth?"
• "What order would you do the whitening, gum reshaping and veneers in, and why?"
• "Can I see before-and-after cases involving all three treatments, not just veneer cases?"

If you tell me which part of Austin you're in (downtown, South, Westlake, North, etc.) and roughly your budget for the makeover, I can narrow this to the 3 best dentists and compare their locations, reviews, cosmetic specialties and likely price ranges.

Yes. For whitening + veneers + gum reshaping as one coordinated smile makeover, I’d prioritize a dentist/practice that explicitly does all three rather than having you bounce between separate providers.

My top Austin options

1. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry by Tejas Patel, DDS — Downtown

Strong cosmetic focus, particularly veneers and smile-makeover planning. Good choice if veneers are the centerpiece of what you want.

2. Glint Dental Studio Austin — South Austin

Particularly interesting for your combination: they offer veneers, professional whitening, gum contouring/gum lifts and smile makeovers, with digital smile-preview capabilities. www.mydental.com

3. The Cosmetic Dentists of Austin — Barton Creek/West Austin

A cosmetic-focused practice offering veneers, whitening and laser gum contouring, with smile makeovers as a major focus. This would be one I'd put on your consultation shortlist.

4. North Austin Dentistry — North Austin

Offers the whole combination—whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring and smile makeovers—so it may be convenient if you specifically want everything coordinated through one office.

5. Quinlan Park Dental — Lakeway/Lake Travis area

Another full-service option offering professional whitening, porcelain veneers and gum contouring, with broader dental specialists available within the practice.

One particularly strong match

I'd put Glint Dental Studio Austin near the top for your specific request. The practice describes smile makeovers involving veneers, whitening and gum contouring, and its team includes periodontal/gum expertise. That combination is useful because gum reshaping should be planned in relation to the eventual veneer design, rather than treated as an unrelated procedure.

Another excellent candidate is Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry / Dr. John Schmid. Their Austin practice explicitly lists porcelain veneers, professional whitening, laser gum contouring and complete smile makeovers under its cosmetic services. cosmeticdentistryaustin.com

What I'd ask at the consultation

Don't just ask, “Do you do veneers?” Ask:

• Can you design the entire smile first and sequence the gum reshaping, whitening and veneers around that design?
• Will I get a digital smile preview/mock-up before committing?
• Should the gum contouring happen before the veneers?
• Which teeth actually need veneers versus whitening/bonding?
• What shade will the veneers be, and when should whitening happen?
• Who performs the gum procedure—your dentist or a periodontist?
• Can I see before-and-after cases involving all three procedures, not just veneer cases?
• How much natural enamel would you remove for the veneers?
• What's the complete cost, including any temporary veneers, gum procedure, whitening and follow-ups?

I'd get 2–3 consultations before choosing. With an elective smile makeover, the quality of the treatment plan and sequencing matters at least as much as the individual procedures.

If you tell me which part of Austin you're in (Downtown, West, South, North, etc.) and roughly your budget, I can narrow this to the 3 best practices and compare their cosmetic credentials, reviews, location, and likely price range.
