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. Our team 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.

Why choose Cary Prosthodontics for your treatment?
Prosthodontists Produce Better Aesthetic and Functional Results
While many general dentists offer veneers, there are several benefits to choosing a prosthodontist for your treatment. Most importantly, prosthodontists like our team have received advanced training in creating restorations that look natural and contribute to a comfortable, properly functioning bite. We use high-tech tools and digital design technology to create veneers that surpass your expectations. For results that make you look and feel your very best for many years to come, look no further than the professionals at Cary Prosthodontics. Patients in the greater Raleigh and Cary, NC, areas can schedule a consultation by reaching out online or by calling:
Digital Technology Enhances Our Treatment
Achieving natural-looking results begins with precise planning. Our doctors use a range of digital technology to carefully plan all cosmetic dentistry treatments. Intraoral cameras and 3D scanners give us the most accurate information about your teeth so we can perform conservative preparation.
Porcelain Veneers Provide Results in Two Visits
Many patients with crooked or misaligned teeth desire a quick and effective way to achieve a beautiful smile. Braces and other orthodontic treatments can take months or years to straighten your teeth. In contrast, a custom set of veneers from our team can create a beautifully symmetrical smile in just a few visits to our office.
However, it is important to keep in mind that veneers work best for correcting minor gaps and misalignment, and do not address problems with your bite. If you have more severe asymmetry or issues with your jaw alignment, we may recommend orthodontics instead.
Do I qualify for veneer treatment?
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 if all of my teeth are stained?
You Can Combine Veneers with Teeth Whitening
If the teeth surrounding the veneers are stained or are not as bright as you would like them to be, you may want to first consider teeth whitening treatment. Since the porcelain used for veneers will be color-matched to the rest of your smile, a preliminary whitening treatment allows you to select a brighter shade for your restorations.
Professional teeth whitening is simple and highly customizable. Our patients throughout Cary, Raleigh, NC, and surrounding communities can select their desired shade of white, and we can tailor your treatment to achieve that shade throughout your smile. During your consultation, our team can help you decide if a combination of treatments will help you better achieve your goals.
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.
