Our team wants to help our patients enjoy treatment for their esthetic issues, so everyone’s smiles look great. For major improvement in only one visit, and improvement that keeps your outer enamel intact, we can provide a thin restoration. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about remaking your smile with Lumineers.
Thinner Cosmetic Restorations
Porcelain veneers can provide a smile makeover by allowing us to cover the front of a tooth with a thin cosmetic restoration. With this option, we will need to actually remove a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the restoration and ensure it can blend with your smile and look natural. While effective, this is a more involved procedure that could take multiple visits. But with Lumineers, we could offer a thinner option, one that does not require the loss of an outer layer, and one that could be applied in a single sitting to dramatically improve the beauty of your smile.
Creating and Placing Lumineers
To begin, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your cosmetic imperfections, which allows us to choose the best solution. If that solution is Lumineers, then we may whiten your smile to ensure your new cosmetic restoration will match your brightest smile. We then color-match your Lumineers to ensure they look natural and blend with your smile. We will check the fit and attach it with a powerful bonding agent, so your new restorations stay in place for years to come. They can be removed and replaced as needed without threatening the tooth itself, keeping your enamel intact. This provides the benefits of veneers without the loss of natural structure!
Protecting Your New Results
You need to maintain good oral hygiene habits to help ensure your new results can last, preserving the teeth we have stashed them to and ensuring the restoration themselves stay bright. Be sure you brush and floss daily, and try to cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet. Avoid tobacco products too, and be sure you see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning every six months.
If you have any questions about how we tackle most cosmetic issues with our custom and beautiful Lumineers, or if you want to see if they are right for you, then reach out to our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help you obtain your best smile in 2026, and maintain these new results for years to come.
