If you have more than one cosmetic issue with the appearance of your smile, we could help with a single restoration. In fact, with this alternative to traditional porcelain veneers, we can place a thin restoration in only one visit, without losing tooth structure in the process! In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne talks about helping smiles really shine with Lumineers.
Thin and Beautiful Restorations
While porcelain veneers are a great way to transform the beauty of your smile, they are a more involved procedure. For example, we need to remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for the restoration. But with Lumineers, our team can apply the restoration directly to the teeth without removing any outer structure, keeping your natural tooth structure fully intact. The restoration will be made from porcelain, and when attached to the tooth, will instantly alter the shape and color of the tooth, making immediate and stunning changes to your smile!
Placement in Only One Visit
Our team will take images and impressions of your bite with digital technology, which allows us to custom-make your Lumineers to ensure they fit comfortably, keep your bite balanced, and offer lifelike transformation, as they will be color-matched to blend with the rest of your smile. Once your Lumineers are in place, they cover permanent teeth stains that may not respond to traditional teeth whitening procedures. The procedure will also address misshapen teeth, repair minor damage, and even help hide small gaps between the teeth. For some, these could offer a smile makeover that lasts for years to come! We may even combine them with other treatments, such as teeth whitening, or possibly even bonding and contouring.
Keeping Your Smile Bright
The same steps that help keep your teeth bright and protect them from tooth decay and gum disease could also ensure your new restoration stays bright and in place too. Which is why we urge you to see our team every six months for a checkup and cleaning, and make time to brush and floss daily to remove harmful oral bacteria and stray food and drink particles too. Try to avoid tobacco products, and cut back on the sugar in your die too.
