How Long Do Lumineers Last

It is very common these days to opt for cosmetic corrections for various imperfections. Such surgeries help in boosting your self-image and confidence. If you have decided to go for dental cosmetics, it is common for procedures that whiten teeth and veneer and lumineer applications.
The most long-lasting procedure for the above two corrections is Lumineers. People often wonder about the stability of the procedure. Lumineers are really tough implants; which means that they can stand staining against tea, wine, coffee and even smoking very well. They reportedly last as long as 20 years in many cases. Lumineers are made of porous porcelain and are very thin; they are almost as thin as contact lenses. For a perfect fit, a cast of your tooth is taken and then it is molded. In a few days, your Lumineer is ready for transplant.
Although, Lumineers can be fitted without any dental scrubbing, the existing tooth is generally shaped to support the Lumineer well. The shaping helps the bonding-cement to gel the implant well. A follow up visit is done to ensure that it fits you well to function as an ordinary tooth. This type of has its own hue of white. So, all your visible teeth might need bleaching to match the shade of the new implant. Though, they are stain-free, it is a good policy to maintain careful dental hygiene for longevity of the Lumineers.
Though they hardly crack, any accidental chipping or cracking of the implant cannot be mended. This only means that you will have to go for a repeat the Lumineer process from the beginning. Just sometime the bonding-cement does not stick well to the tooth and causes the Lumineer to come out. A visit to your doctor can fix it easily. Being very tough, a typical Lumineer will last for 10- 15 years. As discussed before, a little precaution and good oral hygiene will contribute to the long life of you Lumineer.
