Dental veneers provide a way to transform mediocre smiles into brilliant and beautiful ones. Porcelain veneers have been an option for years, but Lumineers have come along to offer an alternative in this segment of cosmetic dentistry. Lumineers are experiencing fast growth in the market and have some differences from traditional veneers.
Unique
Lumineers are extremely thin and translucent, providing a natural looking way to replicate the appearance of tooth enamel. They require little to no grinding down of your original teeth.
Attractive
Lumineers can correct the appearance of crooked teeth without requiring orthodontic treatment. Simple tooth misalignment may be repaired by applying Lumineers. These restorations not only look natural, they also make your smile radiant and white without overdoing it.
Durable
Made from a type of porcelain called Cerinate, Lumineers are very strong and durable. Even though this porcelain is very thin, it is created to last for twenty years or more. In fact, for many patients Lumineers can last a lifetime with proper care.
Painless
While traditional porcelain veneers can require teeth grinding, filing, or drilling to obtain a good fit, Lumineers do not entail much tooth preparation at all. Very little tooth reduction is needed, so there is usually no pain involved with getting Lumineers. The process typically doesn’t require numbing shots or any other pain intervention.
Affordable
One of the most appealing aspects about Lumineers for many patients is the fact that they are usually more affordable than other dental veneers. A beautiful smile is no longer reserved for the rich and famous, but achievable with the onset of Lumineers.
