Smile Confidence Restoration with Lumineers®
Providing a Lifetime of Dentistry that Cares
What are Lumineers®?
Lumineers are thin layers of porcelain that are attached to the front surface of your tooth, in order to improve the color, shape, size, and alignment of your tooth or teeth. After your Lumineers are bonded to your teeth, you will be able to immediately resume your normal diet and will not need to adhere to any additional oral maintenance, although it is important that you continue taking good care of your teeth. With proper care, your Lumineers will last you for years!
At Brook West Family Dentistry, we are committed to providing our patients with the care and support they need. If you are scheduled to have this procedure or have any questions, please contact our staff to see if Lumineers are right for you. We are proud to provide one-of-a-kind personalized care that is tailored to your unique needs.
Benefits of Lumineers®
Dentists will recommend, and patients will request having Lumineers for a variety of reasons. The most common of which is that this procedure preserves your natural teeth, and following the procedure, there is generally no lingering sensitivity.
Other benefits to having Lumineers include the following:
- Quick and Painless: In addition to being a painless procedure, Lumineers are one of the fastest ways to transform discolored, damaged, or poorly aligned teeth.
- Minimal Tooth Reduction: In most cases, there is little to no tooth reduction required.
- Temporary veneers are unnecessary: Lumineers are distinct from porcelain veneers in that patients are not required to wear temporary veneers while the custom veneer is being created.
- Longevity: Lumineers typically last as long as traditional porcelain veneers.
- Reversible Procedure: If it is determined that no tooth reduction was necessary, the Lumineers, unlike conventional veneers, are very easy to reverse.
While many people are excellent candidates for Lumineers, there are certain issues that Lumineers cannot fix, including patients who have severely crooked teeth, patients whose teeth are so oversized that even a small increase would negatively impact the proportions, or patients whose bite is poorly aligned, or patients who have a disproportionate facial profile. In these circumstances, making structural corrections is the more important issue to address.
