Are you ashamed of your smile? Are there troubled areas you would like fixed? With Lumineers you can transform your smile without a lengthy and uncomfortable procedure. Custom designed and ultra-thin, Lumineers can give you the smile you have always desired. Unlike traditional veneers, there are no shots, drilling of sensitive tooth structure, or pain. Once you get Lumineers they are even reversible, so you have nothing to lose and only a beautiful smile to gain. Additionally, Lumineers have been proven to last for over 20 years, rather than just a few years. How do Lumineers Work? Initially teeth are stained, slightly misshapen with spaces in-between, thus needing a makeover. An impression is made and the mold is sent to Cerinate Smile Design Studios where only Lumineers are crafted. At the next dental visit, the dentist will try the Lumineers on your teeth to ensure they are a good fit. Teeth are then moderately etched to prepare for placement of the Lumineers, but there is no removal of sensitive tooth structure. The Lumineers are then bonded to natural teeth and set in place with a curing light. In only two easy visits, you can have a permanently white and beautiful smile without shots, drilling, or pain. A consultation with your Encino dentist can help in deciding if the treatment of Lumineers is a good alternative for your smile. Uses for Lumineers Reasons for getting Lumineers can range from a variety of reasons. Lumineers may be suitable for adults and adolescents seeking to address cosmetic dental conditions including: • Chipped or cracked teeth
• Very slightly discolored or stained teeth
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Small teeth
• Warn teeth
• Slightly crowded teeth
• Misshapen, fanged or pointy and slightly misaligned teeth
• Enhancing an already attractive smile into a "Hollywood" type smile with a smile makeover If you exhibit any of these issues with your teeth, you may be a good candidate for Lumineers rather than veneers. The choice is up to you and your dentist. Benefits of Lumineers vs. Traditional Veneers Lumineers are contact lens-thin and are placed over the existing teeth without having to remove the tooth structure like traditional veneers. It is a painless, permanent cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth. Depending on the condition and position of the teeth being treated, the dentist may need to make minimal modifications. This would affect only the enamel layer with no penetration into the dentin, a layer of tooth substance beneath the enamel. As always, consult your local Encino dentist to see if Lumineers are a good fit for restoring your teeth. Lumineers are not for everyone, but with proper consultation a treatment can be created for your teeth. Take the next step to a healthier looking smile with a trip to your dentist.
