If chips, stains, gaps, or irregular teeth are keeping you from smiling with confidence, dental veneers may be the solution you have been waiting for. At Hardy Smiles in Louisburg, NC, we offer beautifully crafted dental veneers that can dramatically enhance your smile in just a few visits. Whether you want to improve a single tooth or completely transform your smile, our veneers are custom-designed to blend perfectly with your natural teeth and meet your personal aesthetic goals.
Veneers are thin, tooth colored shells made of porcelain or resin that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for patients who want fast, durable, and natural-looking results. At Hardy Smiles, we tailor every veneer to your smile’s unique structure, shade, and shape so your results look and feel natural.
Dental veneers are often recommended for patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their front teeth but still have generally healthy teeth and gums. You may be a candidate for veneers if you are looking to:
Veneers are a great option if you want a noninvasive, long-lasting cosmetic solution that preserves much of your natural tooth structure. A consultation with our team will help determine if veneers are right for you.
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells, typically made from porcelain or composite resin, that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. These restorations are custom-fabricated to match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth, offering a natural and lifelike result.
Porcelain veneers are particularly popular due to their durability and ability to mimic the translucency of real tooth enamel. Resin veneers are also a more affordable option and can be color-matched to the natural shade of your teeth.
At Hardy Smiles, veneers are meticulously crafted to address aesthetic concerns while maintaining a natural appearance. They can be used on a single tooth or as part of a full smile makeover.
Dental veneers offer a powerful blend of aesthetics and functionality, making them one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental treatments. At Hardy Smiles, our patients choose veneers not just for their appearance, but also for how they perform, feel, and last.
Whether you’re correcting one tooth or enhancing your entire smile, veneers provide stunning, long-lasting results.
At Hardy Smiles, we offer high-quality veneer options tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. Whether you are seeking a dramatic transformation or subtle enhancement, our veneers are well-known for their durability, aesthetics, and ability to deliver a seamless, natural-looking smile.
Porcelain veneers are crafted from high-quality ceramic, providing outstanding aesthetics and longevity. These veneers closely resemble natural tooth enamel in terms of color and translucency, resulting in a realistic and beautiful appearance. They are highly resistant to stains and wear, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking a durable solution. Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental laboratory and typically require two to three visits to complete the process. Though more costly than composite options, their strength, natural appearance, and long-lasting results make them a popular choice for those seeking dramatic and permanent smile enhancements.
Composite veneers are made using a tooth-colored resin material that is either directly sculpted onto the teeth or fabricated in a laboratory and bonded in place. They are a more cost-effective alternative to porcelain and can often be completed in a single visit. Composite veneers are ideal for minor cosmetic improvements such as covering small chips, closing gaps, or improving tooth shape. While not as stain-resistant or durable as porcelain, they still offer a natural appearance and can be easily repaired if damaged. This makes them a flexible option for patients seeking affordable, attractive smile improvements.
At Hardy Smiles, the veneer process is carefully designed to deliver natural-looking results with minimal discomfort. From your initial consultation to the final placement, our team ensures that every step is precise, personalized, and focused on achieving your smile goals.:
We begin with a personalized consultation and thorough examination to understand your goals and assess your oral health. Digital images or impressions may be taken to help plan the veneer design. Together, we select the material and shape that best suits your facial structure and aesthetic preferences.
We use gentle techniques to remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of your teeth, making room for the veneer. This step ensures a smooth fit and natural look while preserving most of the original tooth.
We take detailed impressions of your prepared teeth, which are sent to a lab to create your custom veneers. In the meantime, we may place temporary veneers to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your final smile.
Once your permanent veneers are ready, we check their fit, color, and shape. We make minor adjustments if needed, then bond them to your teeth using a strong adhesive. The veneers are then polished to ensure a smooth, natural finish.
The cost of dental veneers at Hardy Smiles generally ranges from $800 to $1,800 per tooth, depending on:
Porcelain veneers tend to cost more due to their durability and realistic appearance. Composite veneers are more budget-friendly and may be recommended for less extensive cosmetic improvements.

Dr. James G. Hardy, founder of Hardy Smiles, has proudly served the Louisburg community and neighboring areas since 1981. He earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where the American College of Dentistry recognized him for outstanding clinical work in endodontics.
Dr. Hardy was raised in Northampton County, North Carolina, a rural area where he witnessed firsthand the need for accessible oral healthcare in underserved communities. This experience motivated him to establish his Louisburg practice, offering affordable, high-quality dental care rooted in trust, education, and prevention.
Over the past four decades, Dr. Hardy has grown his practice from a small office with three operatories to a comprehensive dental facility with a team of 12 professionals. He continues to deliver gentle, personalized care to patients from Louisburg, Raleigh, Durham, Wake Forest, and beyond.
In North Carolina, veneers typically range from $800 to $2,000 per tooth. Porcelain veneers are on the higher end due to their aesthetics and longevity. Composite options are more affordable but may require replacement sooner.
Porcelain veneers generally last ten to fifteen years with proper care. Composite veneers typically last between five and seven years. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help maintain your veneers for as long as possible.
Veneers require the removal of some enamel, making the procedure irreversible. They may chip or break under excessive pressure, and they are not ideal for patients with untreated gum disease or significant tooth decay.
Yes, but you may need to wear a custom night guard. Tooth grinding can place pressure on veneers, increasing the risk of damage. A night guard can protect them while you sleep.
Veneers are not reversible because some enamel is removed during the preparation. However, they can be replaced or updated if they wear down or get damaged over time.
At Hardy Smiles, we combine expert cosmetic dentistry with personalized care to deliver long-lasting smile transformations. Here’s why patients across Louisburg trust us for veneers:
