Make Your Smile Beautiful With Lumineers

Lumineers are a type of veneer made out of dental-grade porcelain. They are thin and customized to fit over the front of the teeth. This procedure is minimally invasive, making it a great alternative to traditional porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells that your dentist bonds to the front of your existing teeth to instantly transform your smile’s appearance. But if you have particularly damaged teeth, you may not qualify for them. This doesn’t prevent you from having a smile you love, though! Your dentist may recommend lumineers instead.

Unlike traditional porcelain veneers, lumineers are barely noticeable. They’re thinner than your natural teeth, yet don’t compromise on their appearance or durability. Instead, lumineers simply require little to no alteration of your tooth structure. You don’t even have to wear temporary veneers while you wait for your custom ones to be made.

Essentially, a lumineer is a super-thin veneer that’s bonded directly to the surface of your teeth. They require less preparation than standard porcelain veneers and are just as strong and durable. Plus, they’re reversible, so if you don’t like your lumineers, you can always have them removed.

Why Are They Called Lumineers?

Our dentist in Mission Viejo, CA, understands that patients want beautiful teeth but don’t want to deal with lengthy treatment or drilling and shots. This is why he offers Lumineers to his patients in Mission Viejo, CA. This revolutionary type of veneer allows his patients to get the smile they have always wanted with ease!

Most veneers require the dentist to remove some enamel from the tooth surface before attaching them. However, with Lumineers, this is not necessary because the teeth are gently shaped into a more desirable shape before the veneers are attached. This means that the tooth enamel is preserved while the patient gets the beautiful new smile they’ve always wanted. 

What Are the Advantages of Lumineers?

Lumineers are a great option for many patients who want to improve the appearance of their teeth without having to undergo extensive or uncomfortable dental procedures. 

One of the biggest concerns of any dental patient is pain. Thankfully, with lumineers, you won’t need to endure any drilling or injections in the dentist’s chair. The procedure can be completed in only two appointments and without any discomfort.

Unlike traditional veneers, the lumineer process requires little to no reduction to your dental enamel. What’s more, these thin shells are bonded to each tooth to help preserve the structure and integrity of each tooth.
