BRIGHTEN YOUR SMILE Are Lumineers Right for You?

Did you know you can achieve straighter and whiter teeth without braces or conventional whitening techniques?

Veneers are ideal if you want to achieve any of the following:

Close spaces or gaps between teeth

That’s where Lumineers come in.

• Whiten teeth with severe staining or discoloration

Lumineers have quickly become the popular choice among people who desire straighter, whiter teeth. Not only are Lumineers a pain-free way to achieve amazing results, they do so without damaging your existing teeth, unlike traditional veneers. In short, Lumineers are a more advanced form of veneer, using newer techniques to produce amazing results. Veneers are thin shells, typically made of porcelain or resin, that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance the beauty of your smile. In some cases, veneers can be used to correct many types of smile imperfections that generally cannot be corrected by orthodontics. They may be used as an alternative to orthodontic treatment on a case-by-case basis. What are veneers?

• Improve the appearance of irregularly shaped teeth

Correct slightly crooked teeth

• Restore broken, chipped, fractured, or worn teeth

Veneers are designed to match the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Plus, porcelain veneers are stain- resistant, meaning your smile will stay bright for years to come. If you want to improve the appearance of your smile, ask us about traditional veneers or Lumineers. We’ll answer your questions and help you find the perfect solution for your best smile!
