Once, straightening teeth meant applying painful, unsightly metal braces and suffering through years of tightening to produce a straighter smile. Even when the process was over, patients were forced to wear a retainer to ensure the teeth remained in proper alignment. However, this system did nothing about discoloration, chipping or other tooth-related problems, engendering greater cost and more dentist visits.
However, through the system of Lumineers patients now have access to a revolutionary system that will not only provide straight, even teeth, but will transform stained, chipped teeth, as well. Lumineers are created through a unique type of porcelain, called Cerinate, only available through a single manufacturer. This patented material is an amazing option for permanent tooth repair.
Part of the benefits offered through Lumineers is the fact that the application is as thin as a contact lens, which eliminates much discomfort and helps patients become accustomed to the feel of the appliance within their mouth in a shorter time period. In addition, Lumineers require no reshaping of teeth, which can be quite painful if considerable tooth structure must be removed or reshaped prior to application.
On obtaining Lumineers, patients will find that they now have a natural, whiter, brighter smile than they might have thought possible. While purely cosmetic, Lumineers are permanently bonded to patient's natural teeth and are created to match the shape and size of existing teeth. Of course, Lumineers can also be installed over existing dental work, such as crowns and bridges, ensuring all patients are able to attain the smile of their dreams.
