Dental veneers have become a very popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. They are used for aesthetic purposes when your teeth are damaged, chipped or broken. Many patients will choose to get veneers because it is an easy procedure in which you can cover-up your imperfections. Whatever your reason for needing restoration, veneers might be the right choice for your smile enhancement. Lumineers are a type of porcelain veneer, which is stronger and thinner than other types of porcelain veneers. The thinness of Lumineers allows for your teeth to be fitted without preparation. Your dentist will not need to shave any of the existing tooth structure away before fitting your Lumineers. What are Lumineers? Lumineers are similar to the standard veneers, except they are much thinner and made from patented Cerinate porcelain. They are as thin as contact lenses and require very little, if any, tooth reduction compared to standard veneers, which gives them the advantage of preserving more of your natural tooth structure. Your Brookfield cosmetic dentist is certified to place your Lumineers and has received additional training to be able to offer this type of veneers. Since little or no tooth structure is removed, the procedure can often be carried out without the need for anesthetic and is also reversible, unlike traditional veneers. They are custom designed to give you the smile you have always wanted. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are proven to last for over 20 years. With only two visits, Lumineers can give you a healthy, natural, permanently white smile that you have always wanted.
Suitable for adults and adolescents seeking to effectively change a number of cosmetic dental conditions, Lumineers are used for the following: • Chipped or cracked teeth
• Slightly discolored or stained teeth
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Misshapen, fanged or pointy and slightly misaligned teeth
• Slightly crowded teeth
• Worn teeth
• Small teeth How are Lumineers Applied? Before undergoing treatment, your Brookfield dentist will begin your Lumineers process by thoroughly examining your teeth to make sure you are a proper candidate. If you are a candidate, your dentist will begin by taking an impression of your mouth with special dental putty. Once the mold of your mouth is created, your dentist will send the impression to a dental laboratory where your custom Lumineers will be fabricated. In just a few weeks your dentist will receive your completed veneers to begin the fitting process. After preparation of your teeth, your Lumineers will be placed and altered to ensure a comfortable fit. You can help extend the life of your veneers by maintaining a high level of oral hygiene and having regular check-ups with your Brookfield, WI dentist. In only two easy visits, you can have a permanently beautiful smile without shots, drilling, or pain. A consultation with your Brookfield cosmetic dentist can help in deciding if the treatment of Lumineers is a good alternative for your smile.
