I was referred to Cosmetic Dentistry of New Mexico by Marie (employee) and I had such a good experience there. I received a teeth whitening. The staff was very professional and accommodating. After the whitening, I even received a at home whitening kit for touch ups! I would recommend going here for teeth whitening.

We Can Target a Range of Cosmetic Imperfections
Using Porcelain Veneers
Chips
If you have chipped a tooth, Dr. Wall in Albuquerque can place a veneer to conceal the missing piece.
Cracks
For cracks that do not affect the health of a tooth, veneers can provide improved aesthetics.
Discoloration
If the stains on your teeth do not respond to teeth whitening, the affected tooth can be concealed with a veneer.
Misshapen Teeth
If a tooth is misshapen or disproportionate, Dr. Byron Wall can use veneers to change the size and shape.
Misalignment
Porcelain veneers can effectively hide minor tooth misalignment and make your smile look straight and healthy.
Minor Gaps
For small gaps between teeth, Dr. Wall can place custom veneers to give your smile improved symmetry.
A Solution For Patients Who Need a New Smile Fast
Dental veneers are one of the only cosmetic treatments that can dramatically transform your smile in a short amount of time–just two appointments–at our Albuquerque practice. This feature makes dental veneers a great option for patients who have an upcoming wedding, graduation, or birthday. Because these porcelain restorations deliver reliably beautiful results, dentists often recommend this treatment to patients who need a complete makeover in a short amount of time.
For example, you may have misalignment that affects the appearance of your smile but does not compromise the balance or comfort of your bite. In this case, if you don't want to wait a year or longer to achieve beautiful symmetry in your smile, veneers by leading dentist Byron Wall may be an excellent way to realize the smile you have been dreaming of.
Not sure if you qualify for veneers?
We Recommend Veneers to Patients with:
Minor Tooth Flaws
Veneers can address isolated concerns that affect the appearance - but not the health - of your teeth.
Good Oral Hygiene
Porcelain veneers need a healthy foundation. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups are essential.
Excellent Oral Health
Tooth decay or gum disease must be completely resolved before receiving veneers.

What about dental bonding?
Dental Veneers vs. Dental Bonding
Our Albuquerque, NM, dentist also offers dental bonding.
Rather than using porcelain, Dr. Wall can use composite resin to perform bonding. During the procedure, several layers of tooth-colored composite resin are bonded onto the teeth, concealing chips, cracks, and minor gaps. The resin is matched to the color of your teeth and carefully shaped to blend beautifully with your natural dental tissue.
Although dental bonding is a popular alternative to dental veneers, the results may not be as natural-looking.
Additionally, bonding usually has to be touched up more often, meaning more frequent visits to our Albuquerque, NM, office. However, because bonding is a more affordable and temporary treatment than porcelain veneers, patients often choose to undergo bonding first in order to decide if they would eventually like to invest in a more premium enhancement.
If you want the most lifelike and long-lasting results, dental veneers remain the very best choice.
"If You Don't Like Your Smile, Veneers May Be a Great Option."
Cosmetic Dentistry of New Mexico offers a range of cosmetic dentistry procedures including ceramic restorations, or veneers, to conceal imperfections including misalignment, chips, cracks, gaps between teeth and discoloration. Dr. Wall discusses the veneer process and the lasting benefits enjoyed by patients.

How can you keep your veneers looking and feeling great?
Caring for Your Veneers
With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last anywhere from seven to 15 years. While they do not require any specific care, it is important to maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine and take care not to damage your veneers. You should brush twice a day using a non-abrasive toothbrush with fluoride, floss daily, and continue attending twice-yearly exams.
Although porcelain is more stain-resistant than enamel, you may want to limit coffee and other foods that can stain your teeth, such as:
- Tea
- Red wine
- Berries
- Tomato soup
Do not bite or chew on hard objects, such as pens. You should avoid using your teeth to open packages and certain very hard foods can also damage your veneers.
Even if you are attentive in your care, though, veneers are not meant to last forever. You will likely need to replace them at some point.
What will the results look like?
Before and After Porcelain Veneers
The Results Can Be Life-Changing
Many patients are worried that their smiles won't look natural but porcelain veneers are crafted with your specific smile in mind. The wafer-thin shells are securely bonded in place to completely conceal any imperfections. The durable material mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, giving the appearance of a flawless, natural tooth, and overall, a gorgeous smile.
Feeling more confident in your smile can help you feel more confident in other areas of your life too, including your career. Because porcelain veneers have virtually no recovery time, they are a great option for patients who want dazzling results before an important event such as a wedding or graduation.
How much do dental veneers cost?
The Price Varies from One Case to Another
The cost of porcelain veneers can vary widely depending on several factors. Every smile is unique, meaning the final price of treatment will vary based on each patient’s needs and cosmetic goals.
As a general rule of thumb, though, improving the appearance of a single tooth is usually more affordable than enhancing your entire smile. You can also combine veneers with other procedures, such as whitening, to achieve more dramatic results. However, adding other treatments will raise your final bill.
During your initial consultation at our Albuquerque, NM, office, Dr. Wall will perform an evaluation of your oral health, identify concerns, and discuss all of the factors that may influence the final cost of your treatment.
We are completely upfront about pricing and will work with your budget.
Factors That Affect the Final Cost
The most important cost factor is your choice of dentist. Although porcelain veneers are widely available, this treatment requires advanced skill and artistry on the part of your dentist. A more experienced dentist with a track record of providing beautiful results will likely charge more than a less experienced and less reputable provider. In addition to your choice of dentist, you can expect that the cost of your treatment will be influenced by:
Types of Materials Used
Some types of porcelain are more expensive than others, but produce more natural-looking outcomes.
Number of Teeth Treated
While treating one tooth is very affordable, covering cosmetic concerns across multiple teeth is more expensive.
Preparatory Treatments
In some cases, our dentist needs to perform additional treatments to prepare your smile for dental veneers.

A Closer Look at Candidacy

Porcelain veneers can meet a variety of different cosmetic needs. You may wish to consider porcelain veneers as a solution if you:
- Want to see quick results
- Prefer to undergo a non-invasive, essentially painless process
- Are looking for a long-lasting solution to dental flaws
Many patients notice increased happiness and self-confidence after receiving veneers. Feeling secure in your smile can make you more likely to use it, which can improve your overall quality of life. In fact, research has shown that smiling can significantly reduce stress, which can in turn benefit your cardiovascular health. You are more than just another set of teeth to Dr. Wall, and he can use his experience, expertise, and artistic sensibilities to help you lead a happier and healthier life.
A Healthy Foundation Is Essential
A wide range of patients can enhance their smile with this sophisticated solution. However, oral health conditions, such as gum disease, tooth decay, and infection, can limit your eligibility for veneers. However, Dr. Wall and our team provide a variety of treatment options to address any health issues and prepare your smile for the many benefits of porcelain veneers.
It is important to keep in mind that treatment with veneers is permanent, so be sure to thoroughly discuss all of your options with your dentist during your consultation. If you clench or grind your teeth or are not ready to receive an irreversible treatment, we can explore treatments for this condition in order to set the stage for a dazzling cosmetic upgrade.
