Mask Dental Imperfections With Dental Veneers And Lumineers

Are you unhappy with your smile? Have you always wanted a smile that sparkles, but whitening treatments have previously failed to provide the best results? If so, you are in luck! Veneers, which are special thin laminates, can often be used to correct discolored, worn down, cracked and chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are designed to last longer than other types of veneers because of the durable bond created with the tooth and the durable porcelain materials. Veneers are placed to mask discolorations, brighten teeth and improve your smile. Providing a much more conservative approach to changing a tooth's color, size or shape, veneers are a clear choice to restoring your smile.
Non-Invasive Lumineers
Lumineers are porcelain veneers that do not require the removal of painful tooth structure. They are a perfect solution for permanently stained, chipped, discolored, misaligned teeth, or even to revitalize old crown and bridgework. 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 Franklin Square cosmetic dentist is certified to place your Lumineers and has received additional training to be able to offer this type of veneer.
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. Additionally, 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.
When are Veneers Appropriate?
Dental veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues including worn enamel, wear and tear, genetics and uneven teeth. Over time, the thin, hard, white substance covering your teeth called enamel, may become worn, dulled and discolored. This wear and discoloration may be a natural occurrence, or the result of a genetic predisposition.
Some people are born with teeth that are more yellow than others, while others have teeth that yellow with age. Your natural tooth color can also be affected by an array of other factors including:
*Tobacco
*Drinking tea, coffee, or red wine
*Eating highly pigmented foods such as cherries and blueberries
*Accumulation of tartar deposits, which result from plaque that has hardened
*Yellowing or graying of the teeth as part of the aging process
*Trauma to the teeth that may result in the death of the tooth's nerve
In only two easy visits, you can have a permanently beautiful smile without shots, drilling, or pain. A consultation with your Franklin Square cosmetic dentist can help in deciding if the treatment of Lumineers is a good alternative for your smile.
