Lumineers

Modern dentistry has made it possible for everyone to enjoy a beautiful, white smile. Many patients choose Lumineers to achieve aesthetic goals, as the entire procedure is painless, fast and easy. In fact, most patients get the smile they have always wanted in just two dental visits. Lumineers are very thin and customized for each patient. Each unique set is created to bond directly to natural teeth, leaving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. There is no pain or sensitivity following placement of Lumineers, and the results are proven to last for more than 20 years.

Did you know that Lumineers are less painful and much less invasive than getting veneers? Patients who get veneers are choosing an irreversible procedure that strips away a significant portion of the natural teeth. Patients require shots to be anesthetized, and many are left with pain and sensitivity. With Lumineers, there are NO shots, NO drills, and patients get to keep nearly all of their original teeth without having them reduced. What’s more impressive about this treatment is that Lumineers leave patients with a bright and beautiful smile in just two visits – without any post-treatment pain and sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for Lumineers?

Lumineers can be used to treat teeth with gaps or teeth that are discolored, misshapen or otherwise cosmetically unappealing. If you wish you could change the imperfections in your teeth without damaging your natural teeth, Lumineers treatment could be right for you. Call our dentist for more information and to find out if Lumineers are the aesthetic solution you’ve been looking for.

What should I expect if I decide to get Lumineers?

At your first visit, an impression will be taken of your teeth. That impression is used to fabricate Lumineers just for you. Our dentist will ask you to return at a later date, during which time he or she will carefully texturize the teeth in preparation for bonding. The Lumineers will then be bonded to the teeth using a curing light. You’ll walk out of your dental visit with the brand new smile you’ve always dreamed of having.

Are there any special instructions for caring for my new Lumineers?

Lumineers are made of very thin porcelain. Caring for them does not require a special diet, but it is recommended that wearers avoid biting down on hard objects, such as ice. Like natural teeth, Lumineers are also subject to staining; so avoid repetitious consumption of highly pigmented foods and beverages.
