Lumineers by Cerinate
Make the Most of Your
Smile with Minimal Reduction
Sometimes, a smile needs a little boost. Veneers
can correct many aesthetic dental problems, including:
- Stains or Discoloration
- Chips and Cracks
- Misalignment or Crookedness
- Sharp, Fang-like Appearance
- Spaces Between Teeth
- Other Imperfections
However, patients must undergo significant tooth
reduction prior to placement of veneers. Tooth reduction makes a
bonded veneer appear natural, lying flat, in line with existing
teeth. However, when natural dentition is removed, it cannot be
replaced.
Most veneers are thick, so they require a patient
to have significant tooth reduction, and they are not reversible.
Because the leucite-reinforced, pressed ceramic used for Lumineers
is stronger than that of traditional veneers, it can be made thinner
without compromising durability. A thinner veneer means less tooth
reduction is required. With Lumineers, if you ever decide that you
want your natural smile back, your dentist can simply remove them.
Thin porcelain also allows light to enter and reflect off of natural
underlying tooth structure, so Lumineers project your existing tooth
shading and appear completely natural.
Patients don’t usually need anesthesia when
Lumineers are placed, and the entire procedure can be completed
in just two office visits. If you’re concerned about tooth
reduction, but you want a dazzling Hollywood smile, ask us about
Lumineers by Cerinate at
your next office visit.
