HOW CAN LUMINEERS ENHANCE OR IMPROVE YOUR SMILE?
3
  • Your smile is one of the first things a person
    notices about you, and showing those pearly
    whites is a sign of friendliness.

4
  • Yet, there may be many reasons why you are hiding
    your smile.

5
  • The following can all affect the aesthetics of
    your smile.
  • Crooked teeth
  • Stained teeth
  • Gapped teeth

6
  • Fortunately, Lumineers can provide a non-invasive
    way to transform the appearance of your teeth so
    that you can smile with confidence.

7
WHAT ARE LUMINEERS?
8
  • Lumineers are made from high-quality porcelain
    that can be contoured to an ultra-thin shell that
    is placed on your teeth to correct cosmetic flaws.

9
  • Once Lumineers are shaped to fit your actual
    teeth, they are less than 0.3 millimeters thick,
    which is thinner than a contact lens.

10
  • This allows for the most natural appearance
    possible out of all the types of veneers that are
    available.

11
  • Due to the durability of Lumineers, you can
    continue to eat, chew and talk with them as
    normal while expecting them to last for 20 years
    or more.

12
WHAT TYPES OF PROBLEMS DO THEY CORRECT?
13
  • The ideal candidate for Lumineers has healthy
    teeth that have cosmetic flaws that affect their
    appearance.

14
  • Lumineers are perfect for covering chipped or
    crooked teeth, gaps and surface stains that
    resist whitening procedures.

15
  • Teeth that have become worn from chewing and
    grinding are also perfectly restored with
    Lumineers.

16
HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM TRADITIONAL VENEERS?
17
  • Traditional veneers can achieve many of the same
    effects however, they tend to be thicker and
    less resilient to wear.

18
  • Most importantly, traditional veneers require
    some removal of the top layer of the teeth.

19
  • Once this enamel is removed, it cannot grow back
    so traditional veneers must be approached with
    the understanding that they are permanent.

20
  • Lumineers are thinner and usually require no
    enamel removal, which makes it less invasive for
    patients.

21
  • In fact, most will require no anesthesia and
  • post-recovery discomfort is minimal.

22
IS THE PROCEDURE REVERSIBLE?
23
  • In most cases, Lumineers are reversible because
    it is not necessary to reduce the tooth structure
    for placement.

24
  • However, most patients are so happy with their
    new smile that they keep their Lumineers for a
    lifetime.

25
HOW ARE THEY APPLIED?
26
  • Once you have decided that Lumineers are right
    for you, the application process will consist of
    two appointments.

27
  • During your first appointment, you and your
    dentist will decide which teeth need Lumineers to
    improve their appearance and what shade of white
    will best fit your features.

28
Next, you will have a mold taken of your teeth
that will be sent to a laboratory.
29
During the time between your appointments, you
will not require any temporary replacements as
you would with traditional veneers because no
part of your teeth needs to be removed.
30
After your Lumineers come back from the lab, they
will be placed on your teeth using special cement
with no drilling or painful shots.
31
You can expect the placement appointment to last
for approximately one hour depending upon how
many teeth you are having restored.
32
  • Following the application of Lumineers, you will
    be able to enjoy looking in the mirror again and
    smiling with confidence.

33
  • Similar to natural teeth, you will still need to
    maintain your oral hygiene routine.

34
  • Brush and floss daily, and remember to visit your
    dentist every six months for a routine check up.

35
  • Then, go ahead and flash those pearly whites
    while knowing that your smile gives the best
    impression.

36
