Dental Veneers in Charlotte, NC
Veneers are a convenient way to fix many complaints about how your teeth look. They can improve your smile, making it brighter, wider and more proportional. At
Piedmont Dentistry, we work with clients in the Charlotte area to deliver the service they want and deserve.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are a non-invasive procedure that can correct a broad range of dental perfections, including:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Uneven surfaces
- Stains
- Gaps between teeth
- Small teeth
- Oddly shaped teeth
- Minor misalignment issues
When we say veneers “correct” problems, what we mean is:
- Veneers
cover flaws on your teeth
- They can also
improve dental function
- Restoring broken teeth with veneers helps you
chew properly
- Some patients even use veneers to rebuild molars
Your smile affects not only your confidence but also your ability to eat, speak, and engage comfortably with others. Dental imperfections—like chips, gaps, or stains—can make you self-conscious and may even cause discomfort or difficulty biting. Veneers provide a durable, long-lasting solution that improves both the look and feel of your teeth.
How Veneers Work
Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin, permanently bonded to the front of your natural teeth. Each one is
custom-shaped to match your mouth, jaw, and facial structure. They look just like your real teeth—only whiter, more even, and more polished.
You can get as many veneers as you need to enhance the overall appearance of your teeth. Whether you need one or many veneers, they will be finished with a natural color that matches your other teeth.
How Long Does the Dental Veneers Process Take?
If you're dealing with chipped, stained, uneven, or slightly misaligned teeth—or if you avoid smiling in photos due to cosmetic concerns—it may be time to explore veneers. Dental veneers can fix defects in just a few visits to our Charlotte area location. These issues may seem small but can impact both your self-confidence and how your teeth function day to day.
The journey starts with a consultation, where we assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if veneers are right for you. If you're a good candidate and you have made the decision to get veneers, you’ll have an even, new smile in two visits.
- Visit 1: We prepare the tooth surface by gently reshaping it, then take a precise mold to design custom veneers tailored to your mouth. You’ll leave this visit with
temporary veneers to protect your teeth and preview your new smile.
- Visit 2 (a few weeks later): Once your permanent veneers are ready, we’ll bond them securely to your teeth and finish with a professional polish—leaving you with a smooth, natural-looking result.

- Fast transformation in just two visits
- Long-lasting and durable with proper care

Dental Veneers Frequently Asked Questions
Do Veneers Damage Your Real Teeth?
Because veneers require the dentist to remove a fine layer of the enamel, some people think that the process impairs the underlying teeth. When they’re applied by an experienced dentist, porcelain veneers don’t do any harm. In fact, veneers protect the enamel below from developing new damage or stains. If your genuine tooth is damaged anyway, adding a veneer will only improve its health and appearance.
At Piedmont Dentistry in Charlotte, we’ll examine your teeth to ensure that they’re healthy before we apply veneers. We will resolve any issues before we apply the veneers.
Do Veneers Look Unnaturally Perfect?
Our veneers look natural, reflecting the inherent structure, shape and color of your teeth. Depending on the reason for the procedure and the state of your real teeth, the improvement may be surprising or dramatic. But we know that you want to walk out of our Charlotte office looking like yourself.
How Should I Care for My Veneers?
Caring for your veneers isn’t difficult. You should be gentle with them. But for the record, you should be gentle with your real teeth too.
As with your genuine teeth, you should be cautious when chewing hard or sticky foods. It’s a good idea to cut rigid food into smaller pieces. Don’t bite directly into an apple, for example. Never use your teeth as tools.
.
Your veneers are attached to your genuine teeth, which can get cavities. Therefore, you must keep up your daily oral hygiene regimen. Brush and floss as usual. With proper care, veneers can last for ten years or more before they need to be replaced.
Do Veneers Increase Tooth Sensitivity?
While many people have heightened sensitivity to extreme temperatures after getting veneers, the issue is usually temporary. It should resolve a few days after the treatment. After that, some patients feel like veneers make their teeth less sensitive.
