How LUMINEERS Improve the Dental Veneer

Cherrywood Dental • Jan 21, 2014
We’re always seeking ways to make the products in our lives bigger, better, and more satisfying. This includes everything from groceries to cleaning products to even our dental and medical tools. Today’s restorations are a whole new world. The dental veneer has been reinvented with the advent of LUMINEERS. These porcelain restorations allow for all the functional power of traditional veneers, while improving aesthetics to the point of being indistinguishable from natural teeth. Sound intriguing? Read on to learn of a few more things that make LUMINEERS remarkable for both patients and dentists.

Why Cherrywood Dental Offers LUMINEERS

Veneers become advantageous when they’re as thin as possible. This allows for enhanced patient comfort and ease of procedure. LUMINEERS are hyper-thin (no thicker than contact lenses), so they offer the best veneer experience around. LUMINEERS make the following possible:
  • Reduced need for anesthesia – The standard veneer procedure requires that the natural tooth be reduced, in order to make room for the veneer. LUMINEERS can sometimes fit over natural teeth without any tooth preparation. This allows for a veneer procedure without anesthesia, as the area won’t need to be numbed. Patients can avoid shots, numbness, and downtime post-procedure.
  • No tooth preparation – You may be able to retain the entirety of your natural teeth while still changing their appearances.
  • No need for temporaries – If your teeth don’t require preparation in order for the LUMINEERS to fit, you won’t need to wear temporary veneers between your first and second appointments. This saves energy, hassle, and time spent in the dental chair.
  • A completely natural-looking restoration – You’ll never need to worry that others may recognize your dental work. Your LUMINEERS will become a visual and functional part of your smile, and will feel no different from your other teeth.
