Lumineers
Lumineers is a brand name for a type of veneer. Cosmetic dentists recommend lumineers because they are safe, painless, strong and thin. If a patient has chips, cracks, uneven tooth alignment, spacing between teeth, worn and discolored enamel or stained teeth. Lumineers is the solution they need to have a perfect, beautiful and radiant smile.
LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is a porcelain veneer that can be made as thin as a contact lens and is placed over existing teeth without requiring painful removal of sensitive tooth structure (unlike traditional veneers.)
What is the difference between Lumineers and Veneers?
Lumineers are in fact a type of veneers. The main benefit to Lumineers is that they are so strong that they can be made extremely thin (.3mm). The ability to make them so thin reduces the amount of tooth structure that needs to be removed when compared to traditional veneers. Often times in fact, no anesthetic or even tooth reduction is necessary at all. Though not everyone is best served by choosing Lumineers over traditional veneers, it has allowed us to create beautiful smiles for more people.
