LUMINEERS

• What to Expect if You are
• Considering Dental Lumineers?

• If you are interested in lumineers, then you are
  clearly invested in the long term upkeep and care
  of your pearly whites. Dental lumineers can help
  give you the smile you have always dreamed of
  without the hassle and dread of traditional
  dental procedures.

• One of the most obvious differences between
  veneers and lumineers is that veneers are much
  thicker. In part, this means that lumineers can
  be essentially fitted over your own teeth without
  the same amount of grinding down that traditional
  veneers require. In most typical cases, there
  actually is not any grinding down required for
  the placement of lumineers, which makes the
  procedure much less invasive and less risky than
  other types of dental procedures to improve the
  appearance of your teeth. In addition, thanks to
  rapid advances in dental technology, lumineers
  can last over 20 years, which generally exceeds
  the lifetime of traditional veneers. They look
  like exact replicas of actual enamel on your
  teeth, which makes them a conservative
  enhancement to your smile without giving off a
  fake or manufactured feel.

• Another benefit you may not initially consider is
  that lumineers can replace the role of
  traditional braces in correcting the spacing and
  positioning of your teeth. So, it is not
  necessary to undergo expensive and painful
  traditional brace procedures in order to correct
  or realign your teeth in most cases. Of course,
  if you have an extraordinary condition with your
  dental health or severely misaligned teeth, your
  dentist may recommend additional precautionary
  procedures before installing lumineers over your
  teeth.

The Procedure

• Contrary to what you might expect, the procedure
  for installing lumineers is entirely pain free.
  They are thin enough to be placed over your
  existing teeth without having to grind them down,
  so you should not experience any extreme pain
  during the installation. It is very likely that
  you will not require any re-positioning after the
  installation, so the initial procedure will take
  care of everything.

The Procedure

• To determine the placement and sizing, after a
  consultation with your dentist, a precise mold of
  your teeth will be developed. Once the mold is
  created, it will be shipped off to the lab, which
  will create the exact mold of the lumineers to be
  installed. What makes this procedure so
  convenient is that you will not have to wear any
  temporary fixtures or any sort of bite setting
  device. Also, there are not any uncomfortable
  shots or drilling to worry about during the
  installation procedure. In total, you will likely
  only have to make two visits to your dentist from
  the consultation and mold setting to the complete
  installation before you are enjoying your new
  smile.

What to Expect After Procedure?

• In the rare chance that you would like to have
  your lumineers removed, this is entirely possible
  because they are simply placed over your own
  teeth, which remain completely intact during the
  installation procedure. Currently, lumineers are
  projected to last 20 years or longer, but you may
  need repair work after that point to maintain a
  perfect smile.

What to Expect After Procedure?

• If you are considering whether dental lumineers
  could be the right option for you to improve the
  appearance of your smile and the alignment of
  your teeth, then you should consult with an
  experienced dentist who is comfortable with the
  procedure. Be sure to ask any questions you may
  have during your consultation and that you are
  comfortable with your dentists level of
  experience.
