About the Charleston Center
Veneers with Dr. John Rink
Chips, stains, or misshapen teeth can make you feel shy about sharing your smile.
Dr. John Rink at Charleston Center for Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry offers among the best prep-less dental veneers in South Carolina so you can leave with a beautifully enhanced smile after a single visit.
Veneers offer a long-lasting solution for cosmetic imperfections in your smile, such as stained or discolored teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, gaps, or misaligned teeth. These ultra thin layers are tinted to match the color of your teeth, providing an entirely natural appearance. Veneers can be made from porcelain or composite resin. Dr. Rink favors prep-less veneers, which don’t require any shaving of the tooth structure.

However, if you wish to achieve a picture-perfect Hollywood smile, Dr. Rink can help you create precisely the smile you desire within the constraints of your budget. To learn more about the benefits of porcelain veneers and how it can enhance your smile, contact our Charleston office today.
We offer two primary varieties of veneers: those that require tooth preparation and those that do not. An in-depth consultation can determine your dental veneer candidacy and which type will best meet your needs.
Dr. Rink prefers to provide veneers requiring no preparation (tooth enamel removal) whenever possible. This minimalist approach allows for maximum preservation of natural tooth structure and is the least invasive of all dental procedures.
In some instances, traditional veneers that require natural tooth preparation could be a better choice for the desired aesthetic outcome. A well-made porcelain veneer, whether prep-less or conventional, can last 20 years or more with attentive care. Dr. Rink is committed to providing treatments tailored specifically to his patient's needs, and he can help you decide which treatment will achieve the best results.
We create our veneers using advanced CEREC technology. A digital impression of your tooth is transmitted to a special computer, which guides a milling machine in creating your custom veneer from a single block of porcelain. This same computer-aided drafting/computer-aided manufacturing technology has been used in industrial applications for decades. Now, it can help you receive your custom veneer in as little as one visit (if you require several veneers, this process may take a few days).
The unique thing about CEREC technology is that it allows our practice to both design and fabricate a dental veneer in-office. We no longer have to send out a mold to a dental laboratory in order to have a prosthetic crafted. With this chairside restoration, we can provide our patients with quicker, more convenient, more personalized treatment.
Prepless veneers are an excellent option for those who want to improve the aesthetics of their teeth, but who are not willing to file down their healihy tooth enamel. Prepless veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. These translucent shells mimic the look and sheen of natural tooth enamel, while covering stains, chips, and other minor aesthetic imperfections.
This type of veneer can often be applied in just one simple visit. Since they require little to no alteration, patients may choose to remove their prepless veneers without the need for another treatment, usually restorations, to strengthen the affected teeth. With proper care, your custom-crafted prepless veneers could last up to 20 years. Dr. Rink has placed over 15,000 veneers in his career and will help determine if this treatment is right tor you.
If you require a traditional veneer, the process begins with the removal of a small portion of the tooth's front surface, roughly equal to the thickness of an eggshell. This provides space for the veneer and creates a suitable bonding surface (if your veneer requires no preparation, this step is omitted).
Next, a digital impression is taken of the tooth being treated, and transmitted to the CEREC system. With this impression, we can design a dental veneer that will fit uniformly in the mouth and help you realize your aesthetic goals.
When the veneer is complete, it will be tested in to ensure a proper fit. Dr. Rink will make any necessary adjustments and verify that the color is correct. Finally, the veneer is bonded to the tooth with dental cement.
Veneers are a highly personalized treatment, and cost can vary greatly from case to case depending on several factors. Veneers are an elective procedure that is not covered by insurance plans, but we accept credit cards and offer convenient payment plans that make this treatment affordable on virtually any budget.
Dr. Rink has placed over 15,000 veneers in his career, providing superior, organic looking restorations for the patients of Charleston, SC and surrounding areas, including porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, implants and other prosthetics, all of which are tailored to the patient's unique aesthetic sensibilities and anatomical needs.
Dr. Rink is passionate about remaining ahead of the curve when it comes to current dental technology. He frequently attends trade shows and other industry events to ensure that his patients receive treatment with only the most advanced equipment on the market. In addition, our offices boast relaxing oils and warm scented towels, setting anxious patients immediately at ease and making them feel that they are having a spa day rather than an uncomfortable visit to the dentist. Comfort, convenience, integrity and holistic health are Dr. Rink’s watchwords.
