The Lumineer Advantage Over Traditional Veneers

September 19, 2014

Have you been wanting a great new look for your smile? If you’ve done any research at all, you’ve probably discovered dental veneers. Veneers are beautiful pieces of porcelain that fit over the front of your teeth to create a new look for your smile. They can last for several years before they need replacing, and they are completely comfortable to wear. However, there is a downside to this type of dental treatment.

Veneers require us to remove a layer of your tooth enamel. It is safe to do so, and the result is a stunning smile. Even though it is safe, some patients don’t want to risk the integrity of their teeth for a cosmetic procedure, especially if they are gaining a minor improvement. Thankfully there is another option available to our patients: Lumineers.

The Lumineer Difference

Lumineers work just like traditional veneers except that they are much more thin. This means that we don’t need to remove a layer of enamel from the front of your teeth! It also means that should you ever want to, you could remove the lumineers from your smile and still be able to show your natural teeth. You can’t make that decision with traditional veneers. The entire process is more comfortable and more enjoyable.

Lumineers really make the difference when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. There is no damage to your natural teeth, and you get to rest assured knowing that you’ve maintained the integrity of your natural smile, should you ever wish to return to it. Contact us today to set up an appointment, and let us know how we can help you get the smile of your dreams!
