Veneers
Porcelain Veneers Can Dramatically Enhance Your Smile
A Versatile Treatment
Dental veneers are porcelain shells that can be used to conceal a wide range of tooth problems, including chips, cracks, misalignment, and stubborn stains. The treatment is often included in smile makeover plans.
Natural-Looking Results
At Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney in Charlotte, NC, we craft our dental veneers from high-quality dental porcelain. This sophisticated material mimics the properties of natural tooth enamel so that dental veneers blend seamlessly with your smile. No one will be able to tell the difference between your natural teeth and your dental veneers, so you can be sure they're admiring your smile—not your dental work!
Strong & Durable
While the porcelain shells are incredibly thin and designed for cosmetic excellence, they are also remarkably strong. With proper care, your dental veneers can last 10 years or more without fracturing or staining.

Our practice places world-class cosmetic dentistry within your reach thanks to:
Because veneers are placed on teeth that are center-stage in your smile, we think you should demand the best. Our cosmetic dentists use state-of-the-art materials, including IPS e.max® and IPS Empress®, which look virtually indistinguishable from natural enamel.
While veneers are relatively small, they make a big impact when it comes to your appearance. To ensure we get the smallest details right, we use advanced technology, such as 3-D cone-beam scanners, to meticulously design your smile and achieve your goals.
Insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic dentistry, such as veneers. But if you are ready to invest in the appearance of your smile, we offer flexible financing options. Financing choices include CareCredit® and Citi® Health.
What Will My Smile Look Like? We Can Show You
Do you get a little tongue-tied trying to describe just what you want in your smile? Are you worried your dentist misunderstood what you said?
These are legitimate concerns. We address them with state-of-the-art digital technology that creates a 3-D simulation of your transformed smile that you can preview. Before we even touch a tooth, you can tell us if we are on the right track or point out any changes you want.
The simulation is created after a thorough aesthetic analysis of your teeth and face using a 3-D facial scan, a 3-D intraoral scan, and other tools that capture your facial features and guide the fabrication of your veneers.
This sophisticated technology allows us to design the shape of each tooth and fully customize your smile to fit your facial features and expectations.
Flexible Financing Options Make a New Smile Affordable
Because porcelain veneers are considered a cosmetic dentistry treatment, they are not covered by dental insurance. However, we understand that having a straighter, brighter, and more symmetrical smile can boost your self-confidence and transform your appearance. To help make treatment more budget-friendly, we accept:
CareCredit®, a third-party lender, offers low-interest, flexible repayment options and a simple application process.
Our Charlotte practice accepts Citi® Health Card, which also gives patients a flexible repayment option.
Not Ready to Invest in Veneers? Consider Dental Bonding
If you live in Ballantyne, Gastonia, or nearby and are concerned about the cost of veneers, we offer a way to experience many of the same benefits more affordably. Dental bonding is a process of applying tooth-colored resin directly to a tooth to conceal chips, cracks, deep stains, and other imperfections. Many patients who are interested in veneers choose to first undergo bonding as a means of previewing how veneers might improve their smile. If you like the results and want something more permanent, bonding can be replaced with premium porcelain veneers.
It's important to keep in mind that although bonding is capable of providing a significant smile upgrade, the results do not look as realistic as porcelain veneers. During your consultation with us in Charlotte, we can carefully explain both procedures to help you choose the right one for your goals at this time.
Am I a good candidate for veneers?
Patients with Good Oral Health Typically Qualify for Porcelain Veneers
Before undergoing any treatment at our Charlotte practice, Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt will perform a thorough dental checkup, periodontal assessment, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) evaluation, and bite analysis to identify any potential dental problems that should be addressed before receiving veneers.
Do You Have Sufficient Enamel?
Because the veneer process requires that we remove a small amount of enamel from each treated tooth, we will check the condition of your teeth before recommending this treatment.
Do You Grind Your Teeth?
Grinding or clenching your teeth can damage your veneers. For some patients with bruxism, a mouthguard can restore their candidacy for porcelain veneers.
Are You Free of Decay and Gum Disease?
If Dr. Pinnix or Dr. Betancourt detects any cavities or gum disease, we can recommend the appropriate treatment, such as dental fillings or periodontal care.
Ready to Find Out If You Are a Candidate?
Porcelain veneers have helped millions of people achieve beautiful smile upgrades, but the only way to be certain whether this is the solution for you is to request a consultation with our dentists. Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt have helped countless patients from Ballantyne, Gastonia, and surrounding communities feel their best with veneers. They are looking forward to determining which cosmetic treatment—or combination of treatments—will give you the unforgettable smile you have always wanted.

Veneers can last for 10 years or longer with proper care, so when you are looking to transform your smile, it pays to be selective about the dental materials that will be used. Our Charlotte dentists only use the highest-quality materials:
IPS Empress Veneers
IPS Empress veneers are crafted from a leucite-reinforced ceramic that is valued for its exceptional aesthetic results. It is available in a wide range of shades and layering options to create a natural-looking smile. Dental veneers created from this top-tier composite look natural in any lighting and from any angle. The material also has impressive durability. Many consider IPS Empress the ultimate benchmark for highly esthetic pressed porcelain veneers.
IPS e.max Veneers
IPS e.max veneers are made of lithium disilicate glass ceramic (a high-strength ceramic material) for twice the strength of Empress veneers. At the same time, e.max offers superior aesthetics and a precise fit. e.max is available in a wide selection of opacities and shades, allowing our dentists to carefully match veneers to your preferred color for a natural-looking result.
