Why Patients in Charlotte Choose Us for Veneers
Dr. John M. Pinnix IV and Dr. George A. Betancourt stand apart:
AACD-Accredited Cosmetic Leadership
Dr. Pinnix is an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a credential held by fewer than 10 dentists in North Carolina. AACD Accreditation is awarded only after a peer-reviewed evaluation of real cases, which means every veneer plan our team designs is shaped by judgment that has been tested at the highest level of the field.
Premium Porcelain Selected for Each Smile
Because veneers sit center stage in your smile, the material matters as much as the design. Our team works almost exclusively with IPS e.max and IPS Empress, two premium porcelains chosen for the way they catch light, mimic enamel, and hold up to years of daily use.
Preview Your Smile Before Anything Is Permanent
Before a single tooth is prepared, we use 3D facial scanning, intraoral scanning, and Digital Smile Design to model your projected outcome. You see what your finished smile is likely to look like, and you have the chance to refine it with us, all before treatment moves forward.

What Will Your Smile Look Like?
We Can Show You
Describing the smile you want in words can feel imprecise, and that uncertainty stops many people from moving forward with veneers. Our digital smile preview removes that guesswork. Before we finalize your treatment plan, we model your projected outcome on a screen so you can see, refine, and confirm the look together with your dentist.
3D facial scanning
to capture how your smile relates to the rest of your features
3D intraoral scanning
for a precise, comfortable digital impression
Digital Smile Design
to model the shape, length, and proportion of each tooth
Side-by-side previews
so you can compare current and proposed smiles
Iterative refinement
so you can request changes before treatment begins
This sophisticated workflow allows Dr. Pinnix or Dr. Betancourt to design veneers that fit your face, your goals, and your expectations instead of a generic template. The result is a smile that feels like yours distinctly from the moment it is placed.
Beautiful Smiles Start With High-End Materials Beauty and Durability
Veneers can last 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 used. Our Charlotte dentists use two of the highest-quality porcelains available today:
IPS Empress Veneers
IPS Empress veneers are crafted from a leucite-reinforced ceramic prized for its aesthetic quality. The material is available in a wide range of shades and layering options, allowing our team to create a smile that looks natural in any lighting and from any angle. Many cosmetic dentists consider IPS Empress the benchmark for highly esthetic pressed porcelain.
IPS e.max Veneers
IPS e.max veneers are made from a high-strength lithium disilicate glass ceramic with roughly twice the strength of Empress, while still delivering exceptional aesthetics and a precise fit. With its broad selection of opacities and shades, e.max gives our dentists the flexibility to match your veneers to your preferred color for a remarkably realistic result.
“Fabulous.”
“Best care I’ve had in several states! The whole staff from front desk back is fabulous.”

Dental Veneers Can Fix Many Flaws
Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile tools in cosmetic dentistry. Patients commonly turn to veneers to address:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Discolored or stubbornly stained teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Mildly misaligned teeth
- Overcrowded teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
In many cases, veneers also pair well with other cosmetic treatments such as professional whitening or Invisalign®, and our doctors can recommend the right combination for your goals during your consultation.
Porcelain Veneers Can
Dramatically Enhance Your Smile
Patients With Good Oral Health
Typically Qualify for Porcelain Veneers
Before recommending veneers, Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt complete a thorough dental checkup, periodontal assessment, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) evaluation, and bite analysis to identify any underlying issues that should be addressed first. Your dentist in Charlotte, NC, treats veneers as the finishing touch on a healthy smile, not a cover-up for unresolved problems.
Do You Have Sufficient Enamel?
Because the veneer process involves removing a small amount of enamel from each treated tooth, we will check the condition of your teeth before recommending this treatment. Patients with healthy enamel are typically excellent candidates.
Do You Grind Your Teeth?
Grinding or clenching can shorten the lifespan of veneers. For some patients with bruxism, a custom nightguard is enough to restore candidacy and protect the investment over the long term.
Are You Free of Decay and Gum Disease?
If Dr. Pinnix or Dr. Betancourt detects any cavities or gum disease, we will recommend the appropriate treatment first, such as fillings or periodontal care, before moving forward with cosmetic work.
Ready to Find Out If You Are a Candidate?
Porcelain veneers have helped many patients across Ballantyne, Gastonia, and surrounding communities feel their best, but the only way to know whether they are the right fit for you is to sit down with our doctors. During your consultation, Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the cosmetic treatment, or combination of treatments, that will give you the smile you have been picturing.
“Can’t thank you all enough ! Given me back my smile ! Dr Pinnix and team will take great care of you! Highly recommended from start to finish everyone here was so friendly and helpful.”
