With a thin restoration known as a Lumineer, our team can take on multiple cosmetic imperfections at once, which can offer stunning results. In addition, we can do this without removing structure from the teeth! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about our custom and thin cosmetic Lumineers.
The Benefits of Custom Cosmetic Restorations
These cosmetic dental restorations are designed purely to help improve the overall beauty of your smile. Each one is a very thin shell of porcelain, and is placed onto the front facing side of your tooth. When in place, this can mask several cosmetic imperfections at once. For example, our team can mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that could fight traditional teeth whitening systems. Our team can help close gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth, and also address misshapen teeth. We can lengthen worn down teeth, address minor damage, and even help correct the appearance of minor misalignment. For some, this is a makeover for their smile in one visit.
The Lumineers Difference
With traditional porcelain veneers, our team needs to numb the teeth and then remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for the restoration. While effective, the Lumineer system offers many of the same results as traditional veneers, but we don’t need to remove any structure from the outside of your tooth. Instead, our team will take detailed digital images and impressions of your smile, and then design restorations that are so thin we can attach them directly to the front of the teeth without removing any structure. Your tooth remains intact, and you enjoy a cosmetic smile makeover in only one visit.
Keeping Your Smile Bright
Once we have completed the placement process, you can take action to help safeguard the smile and prevent major complications. For example, if you brush and floss daily, cut back on the sugar in your diet, and avoid tobacco products, you can help protect your teeth from stains, and issues like tooth decay and gum disease, which could impact the teeth we attached your Lumineers to. You should also see our team for a checkup and cleaning visit, so we can keep an eye on your restoration and also remove the harmful layers of plaque and tartar from the smile.
