Porcelain Veneers Can Dramatically Enhance Your Smile
A Versatile Treatment
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 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.
Strong & Durable
While the porcelain shells are incredibly thin, they are also remarkably strong. With proper care, your veneers can last 10 years or more without fracturing or staining.

AfterProviding Exceptional Outcomes Using Innovative Solutions
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®, Citi® Health, and Wells Fargo Health Advantage® cards.

If You Are Unhappy with Your Smile, You Are Not Alone...
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.
Veneers Can Enhance Teeth Affected By a Number of Imperfections
But am I a good candidate for veneers?
Patients with Good Oral Health Typically Qualify for Porcelain Veneers
Before undergoing any treatment, 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 detect any cavities or gum disease, we can recommend the appropriate treatment, such as dental fillings or periodontal care.

Veneers Offer Superior Results Compared to Simpler Procedures
If you are concerned about the cost of veneers, there are several alternatives that are less expensive. For certain cosmetic issues, Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt can achieve similar results with dental bonding.
However, dental bonding can't match the natural-looking and comprehensive effects of treatment with veneers. In addition to masking flaws, the advanced dental porcelain mimics the properties of natural teeth for stunning results.

Our practice uses the latest materials to produce beautiful results...
Beautiful Smiles Start with High-End Materials Beauty & Durability
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. Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt only use the highest quality materials, including state-of-the-art IPS e.max and IPS Empress porcelain.
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.

Understanding the Cost of Porcelain Veneers
Veneers can range in cost from several hundred to a few thousand dollars per tooth. Why the wide range in costs?

During a consultation, Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt will evaluate your oral health and provide a cost estimate so you can budget accordingly. To make care more manageable, Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney accepts CareCredit®, Citi® Health Card, and Wells Fargo Health Advantage® card financing.

To help make treatment more budget-friendly, we accept:
This 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.
