The Magic of Lumineers

Did you know you can achieve straighter and whiter teeth without braces or conventional whitening techniques — and with minimal impact to your existing teeth? It is possible! This is where Lumineers come in. Lumineers have quickly become a popular choice among people who desire straighter, whiter teeth. Not only are Lumineers a pain-free way to achieve amazing results, but they also achieve those results without damaging your existing teeth. In short, Lumineers are a more advanced type of veneer, which use newer techniques to produce amazing results. What sets Lumineers apart from traditional veneers? Veneers are thin shells often made of porcelain and 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. These are imperfections that generally cannot be corrected by orthodontics. However, in order

for veneers to work, your existing teeth must be altered to make room. Specifically, our teeth may be ground down to accommodate the porcelain veneers. It can sound frightening, but it is painless, and the results speak for themselves. Lumineers, on the other hand, are considered “prep-less.” They require less work in order to achieve similar results. Lumineers are much thinner than porcelain veneers — in fact, they are so thin that they look nearly transparent and mimic the look of natural tooth enamel. While Lumineers are very convenient and can produce phenomenal results, they are not for every patient. If you are interested in Lumineers or other similar options, call us to schedule your complimentary cosmetic consultation.
