Dental Restoration With Lumineers
Lumineers are dental veneers that adhere to the surface of the teeth enamel. They consist of cerinate feldspathic pressable porcelain, which is very thin but strong. Patients can opt for this product when the teeth are healthy but cosmetically flawed to achieve a whiter, more perfect smile.
This treatment is ideal for patients with stained or discolored teeth and restores worn-down or chipped teeth. They can also eliminate spaces and gaps and align crooked teeth. Lumineers help brighten smiles that have had no success with professional teeth whitening products.
“This treatment is ideal for patients with stained or discolored teeth and restores worn-down or chipped teeth.”
Benefits of Lumineers
Lumineers have an average lifespan of 20 years. The special porcelain construction prevents this type of veneer from wearing down quickly and makes it resistant to staining. Furthermore, because they are so thin, they can be placed without grinding teeth down. For this reason, the Lumineer procedure is reversible. Patients who have damaged their Lumineers or want to change the way they look can easily have the veneers taken off and replaced.

Lumineers Treatment Details
The process of fitting Lumineers takes about two appointments. Before treatment can occur, we will examine the patient's teeth and discuss their goals and concerns. Once treatment starts, we will take upper and lower impressions of the patient's teeth and makes molds of the mouth and teeth. Patients then choose the perfect shade they want for their Lumineers.
Once we collect the impressions, we will send them to the lab where technicians create the custom Lumineers. When the Lumineers are ready, the patient will return for a fitting. There is typically no preparation needed for the teeth. The dentist will have the patient try them on to check for fit and then individually bond them to each tooth.

The Effects of Lumineers
The placement of Lumineers does not involve removing any of the tooth's healthy structure. Lumineers are semipermanent and usually completely reversible. Patients can choose to have their Lumineers taken off at any time. If this is the case, we will schedule a consultation to go over the process and desired outcome. Once removed, they usually do not have any effect on the original teeth.
The process of removing Lumineers is safe and effective. However, there is always a risk for damage when any type of veneer is removed from teeth. Due to this, we will need to ensure the patient's teeth and overall oral health are in proper shape for the procedure. We will also take the necessary precautions to ensure the patient's safety during this treatment.

Lumineers Vs. Veneers
Lumineers are a specific type of veneer. While they both cover teeth to help them appear whiter and straighter, there are some key differences between the two that people should consider. Lumineers are much thinner than traditional veneers, making them feel lighter and more natural.
However, their thin structure means that Lumineers cannot cover teeth with dramatically dark stains on them as veneers can. The process of applying veneers is more lengthy and invasive than for Lumineers since the removal of the tooth's surface must occur during preparation. This modification of teeth makes veneers permanent, while Lumineers are typically removable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Who is a candidate for Lumineers?
A. Lumineers are ideal for people with healthy gums who wish to cover damaged or mildly discolored teeth to improve their smile. However, Lumineers are thin, so they may not completely cover dark discoloration. For this reason, people with severe teeth staining may want to seek an alternative treatment.
Q. Are Lumineers safe?
A. Because Lumineers require minimal teeth modifications to fit properly, they are safe. Patients should have no recovery time, and there are few side effects associated with the procedure. The most common side effect is gingival inflammation, but the is rare and can be treated easily with medication.
Q. Are Lumineers comfortable?
A. Yes, they are. Because Lumineers are so thin, they feel comfortable immediately after being placed. Grinding teeth down is not necessary, so there is no discomfort during the placement procedure.
Q. How should Lumineers be cared for?
A. Lumineers can be treated the same as natural teeth. They are stain-resistant, so there is less need to avoid strongly colored foods or beverages. Proper dental hygiene is essential for maintaining the good condition of Lumineers.
Q. Which cosmetic problems can Lumineers help?
A. Lumineers cannot replace missing teeth. However, they are an ideal solution for nearly any other cosmetic dental problem. Uneven, misshaped, discolored, chipped, and cracked teeth can all be treated with Lumineers to create a more attractive smile.
Q. How long does it take to install Lumineers?
A. Since Lumineers are custom-made, it takes two or more visits to install them. The dentist will cast a mold of the patient's mouth during the first visit and determine which shade the Lumineers should be to look natural. Then the Lumineers are bonded to teeth in the second appointment.
