Interested? Then why not find out more?
Lumineers- Think of contact lenses
Lumineers are a special type of ultra-thin veneers made by American firm Cerinate. Crucially they are as thin as contact lenses and this is the key selling point of Lumineers- they are made from special porcelain that is strong but at the same time much thinner than traditional veneers.
The main function of Lumineers is to provide a solution for stains and chips, as well as slightly misaligned teeth.
One of the best things about Lumineers is that the procedure of improving the patient’s smile does not require the natural tooth structure to be changed in order for the changes to work effectively. This also means a relatively painless procedure compared with many other forms of cosmetic dentistry currently on the market.
Lumineers are also a versatile solution and can be fitted over crown and bridge work without much fuss, making them a no-hassle solution in most cases for patients who choose this option.
Patients may only need two appointments to have the Lumineer fitted into place and they are clinically proven to last for more than 20 years.
What else should I be aware of?
There are some limits on the availability of Lumineer veneers. Please be aware that not every cosmetic certified dentist will offer this treatment, as registration with the manufacturing company is required.
In addition, Lumineers are only able to be made from unique Cerinate porcelain – which can only attained from the Cerinate Smile Design Studio in America.
Let’s re-cap
So, here are the main advantages of Lumineer veneers:
A relatively painless procedure, with little long-term change to the structure of teeth.
A speedy procedure, with as little as two appointments with a dentist required to fit them.
Versatility – they can be fitted around crown and bridge work.
