HOW CAN LUMINEERS ENHANCE OR IMPROVE YOUR SMILE?
3

• Your smile is one of the first things a person
  notices about you, and showing those pearly
  whites is a sign of friendliness.

4

• Yet, there may be many reasons why you are hiding
  your smile.

5

• The following can all affect the aesthetics of
  your smile.

• Crooked teeth

• Stained teeth

• Gapped teeth

6

• Fortunately, Lumineers can provide a non-invasive
  way to transform the appearance of your teeth so
  that you can smile with confidence.

7
WHAT ARE LUMINEERS?
8

• Lumineers are made from high-quality porcelain
  that can be contoured to an ultra-thin shell that
  is placed on your teeth to correct cosmetic flaws.

9

• Once Lumineers are shaped to fit your actual
  teeth, they are less than 0.3 millimeters thick,
  which is thinner than a contact lens.

10

• This allows for the most natural appearance
  possible out of all the types of veneers that are
  available.

11

• Due to the durability of Lumineers, you can
  continue to eat, chew and talk with them as
  normal while expecting them to last for 20 years
  or more.

12
WHAT TYPES OF PROBLEMS DO THEY CORRECT?
13

• The ideal candidate for Lumineers has healthy
  teeth that have cosmetic flaws that affect their
  appearance.

14

• Lumineers are perfect for covering chipped or
  crooked teeth, gaps and surface stains that
  resist whitening procedures.

15

• Teeth that have become worn from chewing and
  grinding are also perfectly restored with
  Lumineers.

16
HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM TRADITIONAL VENEERS?
17

• Traditional veneers can achieve many of the same
  effects however, they tend to be thicker and
  less resilient to wear.

18

• Most importantly, traditional veneers require
  some removal of the top layer of the teeth.

19

• Once this enamel is removed, it cannot grow back
  so traditional veneers must be approached with
  the understanding that they are permanent.

20

• Lumineers are thinner and usually require no
  enamel removal, which makes it less invasive for
  patients.

21

• In fact, most will require no anesthesia and
• post-recovery discomfort is minimal.

22
IS THE PROCEDURE REVERSIBLE?
23

• In most cases, Lumineers are reversible because
  it is not necessary to reduce the tooth structure
  for placement.

24

• However, most patients are so happy with their
  new smile that they keep their Lumineers for a
  lifetime.

25
HOW ARE THEY APPLIED?
26

• Once you have decided that Lumineers are right
  for you, the application process will consist of
  two appointments.

27

• During your first appointment, you and your
  dentist will decide which teeth need Lumineers to
  improve their appearance and what shade of white
  will best fit your features.

28
Next, you will have a mold taken of your teeth
that will be sent to a laboratory.
29
During the time between your appointments, you
will not require any temporary replacements as
you would with traditional veneers because no
part of your teeth needs to be removed.
30
After your Lumineers come back from the lab, they
will be placed on your teeth using special cement
with no drilling or painful shots.
31
You can expect the placement appointment to last
for approximately one hour depending upon how
many teeth you are having restored.
32

• Following the application of Lumineers, you will
  be able to enjoy looking in the mirror again and
  smiling with confidence.

33

• Similar to natural teeth, you will still need to
  maintain your oral hygiene routine.

34

• Brush and floss daily, and remember to visit your
  dentist every six months for a routine check up.

35

• Then, go ahead and flash those pearly whites
  while knowing that your smile gives the best
  impression.
