Lumineers are a technological marvel in the field of dental veneers. They are exceptional because they are ultra thin, measuring approximately 0.2 mm in thickness, and also ultra translucent. In contrast, the traditional veneers are usually thicker, which means they require grinding down of the original tooth structure in order to fit. This is where Lumineers are an amazing technology because they require little or no tooth reduction at all. They are made from highly advanced qualities of porcelain, so they are resistant against micro-leakages and micro-cracks, despite being so delicately thin.
However, the most important aspect of Lumineers is not their durability (they easily last for over twenty years), or their ability to look natural. Lumineers are a “No Prep” veneer. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are an entirely painless way to re-shape and permanently whiten your teeth. For most patients, Lumineers achieve a perfect fit without requiring grinding down of the healthy tooth structures. That means total freedom from painful shots, drills and needles or any other preparation of sensitive tooth structures.
In addition, once the fitting process is completed, Lumineers do not give the patient any experience of pain, discomfort or sensitivity. From the word go, the patient starts feeling natural and comfortable with the Lumineers.
If you are ready for that exclusive “celebrity smile,” Lumineers may be the right answer for you. Lumineers are now also coming with Luminate in Lumitray Technology that enables the dentist to place all veneers in one go, rather than individually. This adds to your comfort and cuts down your time in the dentist’s chair! Lumineers are custom-made only at the Cerinate Smile Design Studios where Lumineers are crafted exclusively.
While fitting the Lumineers to your teeth, the dentist etches your teeth moderately for placement, but there is no requirement to remove sensitive tooth structure. The Lumineeers are then bonded to the natural teeth, and set in place with a curing light. That’s it. Once the procedure is done, you are ready with a permanently whiter, sparkling and great-looking smile.
