What Makes Lumineers So Special?
August 4, 2014
0

Hinsdale lumineers Before they were a wildly popular band, Lumineers were something else entirely: a dental restoration.

Porcelain veneers have been around for decades, but they haven’t always been the veneer of choice. Standard porcelain veneers can require more removal of natural tooth structure to fit in place, leaving patients with altered teeth and irreversible changes. Denmat decided to find a way to improve upon this aspect of ceramic restorations. The company decided that the perfect veneer would combine the aesthetics of porcelain with the thinness of resin. The result? A no-prep, strong, long-lasting, and absolutely beautiful restoration.

Lumineers are unique in more ways than one, and make different changes to each patient’s life. Something we can always count on with Lumineer treatment? Total satisfaction. With Lumineers in place, patients feel (and look) ready for anything – and they seize life with renewed confidence. Read on for details about how simple shells of porcelain can make this level of change possible.

Why Should I Get Excited About Lumineers?

Of course we’re excited about Lumineers – we’re dental professionals, which gives us license to be total nerds about these kinds of things. But why should you get invested? In short, because Lumineers allow for amazing things to be done to your smile – without requiring pain or big commitment on your part.

Lumineers are:

  • Natural-looking – The most important aspect of any visible dental work is that it blend with your surrounding smile. We would never give you work that stands out (in a bad way). Lumineers allow Hinsdale Dentistry to heighten its already lofty aesthetic standards. The thin, slightly translucent porcelain looks just like natural enamel, leading your Lumineers to seem to be the real thing.
  • Long lasting – With proper care and protection, Lumineers can last for decades, acting as a constant boost for your natural smile.

    Lumineers not only get you smiling, but reduce tooth sensitivity – allowing you to better enjoy your favorite foods and drinks

    No prep – Veneers typically require that the target teeth be drilled down, so that the veneers will fit into place. This robs patients of their natural tooth structure, and effects irreversible changes. Lumineers are so remarkably thin that they often fit over natural teeth with minimal to no tooth preparation.

  • Shot free – When a Lumineer is no-prep, it’s also no-anesthesia. This allows patients to gain a new smile without being forced to undergo stressful shots. Shot free veneers are ideal for patients with dental anxiety.
  • Strengthening – Lumineers not only change the appearance of your smile, but also improve its strength. Struggling with sensitive teeth? Veneers will provide a new, protective layer – one that keeps hot and cold from causing twinges, and helps you enjoy your favorite foods once again.

Are No Prep Veneers Right for My Smile?

If you’re interested in Lumineers, schedule a consultation with our Hinsdale team. During that meeting, you’ll speak with one of our dentists, and learn more about the veneer process. Your smile is unique, and it has its own specific needs.

That said, there are some aesthetic flaws and personal preferences that are just right for treatment with Lumineers. A few of these include:

  • Gaps between front teeth
  • Short teeth with worn enamel
  • Stained teeth that resist whitening (due to discoloration that formed during tooth development, or as a result of enamel loss)
  • Sensitive teeth with weak enamel
  • Patients seeking highly specific smile makeovers (with multiple customized tooth surfaces)
  • Patients struggling with a high level of dental anxiety
  • Patients seeking for conservative cosmetic treatment that keeps teeth intact
