Lumineers (trademark)are porcelain veneers made with patented Cerinate (trademark)porcelain technology. They are
the painless alternative to traditional veneers and crowns. They can permanently change the color of your teeth
and align them in two dental visits. Lumineers are the permanent cosmetic solution for stained ,chipped ,
discolored and maligned teeth .In most cases the procedure can be done with no shots and little or no preparation
of the tooth . They can be fabricated to be contact lens thin. This protects and prevents the unnecessary removal
of sensitive tooth structure. Lumineers can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to
replace them.
Procedure
On your first consultation appointment for lumineers your dentist will take x-rays of your teeth and examine
your teeth for possible cavites and gum disease.
A routine cleaning is recommended prior to lumineer placement and every 6 months thereafter. Optimal gingival
health is vital for any restorative success. Your dentist may also recommend whitening your teeth prior to
lumineer placement so that your other teeth can blend with the lumineers.
On your second appointment photographs are taken to communicate with the cerinate lab to get the best cosmetic
outcome. The photographs also help you to see the dramatic change in your smile once the lumineers are placed.
Then an impression or mold of your teeth is taken and along with the photographs sent to the Cerinate lab for
the fabrication of the revolutionary Lumineers. It usually takes 10 working days for the Lumineers to be
fabricated.
On your final appointment your dentist bonds the Lumineers with a special bond onto your teeth. This appointment
probably takes 30 minutes and is the longest appointment in the whole procedure.
In just 2-3 visits to your LUMINEERS dentist, you can have a custom-made smile that is clinically proven to last
over 20 years - and it is completely reversible since your natural tooth structure is still intact! Call our
