Veneers in Charlotte

At Kleinheinz Dentistry, the first treatment lasts for 90 minutes. We have to note the size and shape of the tooth/teeth we are fixing. The second treatment day is around 30 minutes or so, though these times vary depending on the number of teeth we are treating with veneers.

Almost anyone with permanently stained or misshapen teeth can benefit from veneers in Charlotte at Kleinheinz Dentistry. You need to be 18 or older and have all your adult teeth to order veneers with us, but otherwise everyone can visit us for veneer treatment.

Although strong, veneers, like natural teeth, experience wear and tear. Effective oral hygiene habits are important to maintaining them. We know this isn’t news, but brushing twice daily and flossing once daily is essential.

To protect your veneers, try to avoid biting into hard, crunchy foods. To avoid chipping or scratching your veneers, try to chew with your back molars because nuts, hard candies, and similar foods can damage them.

Veneers are susceptible to staining and discoloration, similar to your teeth, as time passes. Regular exposure to liquids, like coffee, tea, and red wine stains and discolor veneers.

Should your veneers become damaged, contact us immediately. We’ll either repair or replace them as needed, ensuring your smile always looks its best.

Some people think that veneers actually impair how your teeth work, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Veneers do permanently cement over your tooth, but they only cover the front surface of a tooth—the part that faces outward. The top of your teeth—the functional part—remains uncovered, maintaining its full utility.

Veneers remain a viable option for multiple stained or dull teeth, but the procedure becomes more complex and time-consuming. That’s alright, though, we have a solution. Our professional teeth whitening uses medical-grade agents to whiten all your teeth. This treatment is a miracle for brightening your smile, erasing marks and stains that over-the-counter products can’t handle.

Noticeable teeth whitening is achievable in just two 15-minute sessions. Best of all, these results can last for months or even years, especially with a healthy oral care routine.

Kleinheinz Dentistry prioritizes patient safety and reliable service. Our method for putting in veneers in Charlotte requires minimal recovery and downtime.

We may need to shave down some of your tooth’s natural surface to make room for the veneer that will permanently cement in front of your tooth. You won’t feel anything during treatment because we’ll use a local anesthetic.

You might have some tooth sensitivity for a few hours after your appointment as the anesthetic wears off, but there shouldn’t be any long-term effects. Following your session, you may return to your normal routine of eating, brushing, etc.

Veneers can mask damage and enhance the appearance of your smile if you have isolated, flawed teeth. Veneers may not suffice for a high number of very crooked or uneven teeth. We recommend clear aligners for this situation.

A series of clear, custom-molded aligners gradually straightens your teeth. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to move your teeth gradually. After your teeth move, you’ll get a new aligner to keep moving them.

Following your Invisalign treatment, you only need a nightly retainer to maintain the results. It’s not the most amazing thing ever, but it will help maintain your perfect smile. These retainers safeguard your teeth from nocturnal grinding, offering a teeth-whitening benefit.

You will see the results from the veneers appointment immediately after the first session if you want in-house made veneers. If you want us to send out for lab-made veneers, you won’t see the results until after the second treatment session. Once you have the optimal results, they will last 5 to 20 years, depending on how you care for them.

Veneers are custom-made caps bonded to the front of your natural teeth. Dental implants, on the other hand, completely replace a natural tooth. Dr. Kleinheinz specializes in both procedures, and while they offer functional and cosmetic benefits, they’re ideal for different situations.

If you are looking to change the shape, size, or color of your natural teeth while protecting them from further damage, you may be an ideal candidate for veneers in Charlotte. However, if you are missing a tooth, an implant is more suitable. Implants connect to the jawbone, replacing a tooth from its root to its surface, while veneers only cover the surface.

Both procedures are permanent and can offer life-changing results, improving your oral health and self-image for years to come. We’re invested in your long-term success, so we’ll help you make a confident decision after openly discussing your goals and examining your teeth.

Veneers themselves do not cause gum irritation. However, improper veneer placement and poor oral hygiene habits can irritate the gums.

At Kleinheinz Dentistry, your veneer journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Kleinheinz. During this visit, we’ll closely examine your teeth and gums to ensure they’re healthy and strong enough to support veneers. If you have active gum disease, we treat that first.

Only after addressing any underlying conditions do we move forward with placing your veneers. When placed correctly, veneers fit snugly against your gumline, looking and feeling like natural teeth. Dr. Kleinheinz helps you design your veneers, choosing a shape, size, and color that aligns with your aesthetic goals, but also suits your anatomy.

After the procedure, continuing to practice good oral hygiene habits at home, including brushing and flossing daily, helps you avoid gum irritation—just as it does without veneers. As always, routine exams are also crucial for preventing and managing gum disease. During professional cleanings, Dr. Kleinheinz gently removes plaque, preventing it from building up and irritating the gum tissue. Regular visits allow us to catch the early signs of gum problems and provide solutions faster.

Most insurance companies do not cover veneers if they are purely for cosmetic reasons. However, some providers cover veneers when they are considered medically necessary. If Dr. Kleinheinz recommends veneers to address functional concerns, such as bite issues or severe tooth decay, we’re happy to discuss your coverage options.

If you are interested in veneers in Charlotte for cosmetic reasons, and/or your insurance does not cover the procedure, we also offer a range of financing options. Through flexible payment plans, you can spread the cost of veneers into convenient monthly payments, so you don’t have to delay achieving the smile you want.

Unlike bridges and other temporary treatments, veneers are permanent, making them a powerful investment in your long-term comfort and confidence. At Kleinheinz Dentistry, we’re committed to your lifelong success. Beyond making the procedure itself more accessible, we also offer membership plans to protect your investment. Designed to simplify routine dentist visits, each plan holds you and us accountable while helping you save on regular exams, cleanings, and X-rays.
