Do you feel self-conscious about dental imperfections such as cracks, gaps, and discoloration?
Drs. Brandon Kofford and Kevin Lim offer stunning porcelain veneers to correct a variety of cosmetic flaws and enhance your smile.
So why do patients of our Cary, NC, practice choose dental veneers?
Our Custom Veneers Can Enhance
Your Smile and Your Confidence
Advanced Materials
Our veneers are crafted from medical-grade porcelain, which resists stains and mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel. Dr. Kofford and Dr. Lim will carefully match the color of the dental ceramic to provide beautiful, natural-looking results. In fact, other people probably won't notice you're wearing a veneer because each restoration is crafted to look just like a natural tooth.
A Versatile Solution
Our doctors can use dental veneers to address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including chips, cracks, gaps, and minor misalignment. Veneers are also a good option for patients with intrinsic tooth stains that do not respond to traditional whitening treatments.
Quality Worth Smiling About
We work with a trusted dental lab to create restorations that are both natural-looking and remarkably strong. With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last over 10 years while retaining their beautiful characteristics.

Factors to Consider Before Choosing Veneers
Tooth Enamel
Veneers require the dentist to remove a small amount of enamel from the front of the tooth to ensure natural-looking results. Patients with very worn or thin enamel may not qualify for porcelain veneers.
Bruxism
While the porcelain used to craft dental veneers is very strong, chronic teeth clenching will cause them to wear faster. If you suffer from bruxism, we may recommend a dental crown to better protect the structure of your tooth.
Your Goals
Veneer treatment requires some permanent alterations to the tooth and will need to be replaced every decade or so. If you are not ready to make a long-term commitment, we can discuss alternative forms of cosmetic dentistry.

What to Expect During Treatment
Our doctors use digital dentistry technology to carefully plan your treatment.
Consultation
We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and take highly precise images of your teeth with our intraoral camera to determine if veneers will work for you. Next, we begin to plan your treatment with our digital dentistry software.
Preparation
The doctor will need to remove a small portion of the enamel so the veneer lays flush with your surrounding teeth. We remove a minimal amount of dental tissue.
Fabrication
The information we collect is sent to our trusted dental lab. Skilled technicians hand-craft the veneers, and return the finished product to our office in a few weeks.
Placement
One of our doctors will check the fit and appearance of your veneer against the surface of your tooth. After making any necessary adjustments, we carefully bond the restoration to your enamel.
Do veneers require special care?
Making Your Veneers Last
Porcelain veneers are fairly low-maintenance in terms of aftercare. In fact, taking care of them is basically just like taking care of your natural teeth. However, there are certain precautions you can take to make your veneers last:
Avoid chewing hard objects such as ice
Do not use your teeth as tools to open or cut objects
Wear a protective mouthguard when playing sports
Do not chew on objects such as pens
Sleep with a night guard if you have bruxism or TMJ disorder
You should also ensure that you practice proper oral hygiene and attend your regular dental exams to protect your oral health.
