Smiling should be a happy, enjoyable experience, not a stressful or embarrassing one. With Lumineers, you no longer have to hide your smile. Lumineers allow you to smile bright without enduring lengthy, uncomfortable procedures to get the smile you can enjoy sharing with the world. While traditional veneers involve a much longer, more painful process that can take months, Lumineers placement is quick and painless. 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 Waterford cosmetic dentist is certified to place your Lumineers and has received additional training to be able to offer this type of veneers. Lumineers are suitable for adults and adolescents seeking to effectively change a number of cosmetic dental conditions including: * 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 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. Traditional Veneers vs. Lumineers Traditional veneers are sometimes referred to as caps and are placed over teeth through a process that can demand extensive and irreversible cutting away of healthy tooth structure. This can require multiple painful shots and many visits to the dentist with long appointments. Once teeth have been cut away, temporary crowns are placed on the teeth while the traditional veneers are made, which can take months. The temporaries are then removed, potentially requiring shots again, and the permanent veneers are placed. Sometimes additional appointments are required to ensure that bite is correct. In contrast, Lumineers don't require shots or drilling of sensitive tooth structure, and that means no pain for you. That is because Lumineers are ultra-thin so they can be applied seamlessly over your existing teeth in only two easy visits to your dentist.
