10 Challenges Solved by Lumineers

Thanks to Lumineers, a number of clinical challenges can be overcome to deliver beautiful and long lasting smiles. Lumineers are porcelain veneers that can be made as thin as a contact lens and are placed over existing teeth, in many cases without requiring any removal of existing tooth structure (unlike other veneers).

A Lumineers procedure is the best cosmetic solution for permanently stained, chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth, and may even revitalize old crowns and bridgework. It is the ideal system for all veneer cases and all kinds of dental patients, from adolescents to seniors and even those with fear of dental procedures.

Today’s patients are asking about less invasive cosmetic solutions for creating beautiful smiles. This guide will walk you through ten of the possible Lumineers has to offer.

 

1. Ordinary to Gorgeous

Your smile may look pretty good, but you want it to be even better, perhaps just like your favorite celebrity smile. A lumineers dentist will evaluate your smile and desires and will help you achieve the look you want with a minimally invasive approach, and in most cases, without any shots or drilling. Get that new Hollywood smile quickly and painlessly!

 

2. Permanent Whitening

Stained or discolored teeth can be a major embarrassment because no amount of bleaching, brushing or visits to the dentist will remove the stains. Now there’s a hassle-free solution to the problem. Lumineers, which are like thin covers for your teeth, eliminate the traces of any stains or discoloration. Best of all, a Lumineers procedure leaves you with permanently white teeth.

 

3. Tetracycline Staining

Staining and discoloration are problems for many. Whether the damage has been caused by time, stain-producing substances such as coffee and red wine, or by the administration of tetracycline, the sheer and natural looking character of Lumineers corrects discoloration without appearing artificial and provides a permanent whitening solution for those who hide their smile.

 

4. Worn Teeth

Restoring teeth to a more youthful appearance is also possible with Lumineers. From obscuring worn dentition on natural teeth to renewing the appearance of existing crowns and bridgework, Lumineers can help to take years of a patient's smile. Non-invasive procedures and fast placement also make Lumineers ideal for more mature patients.

 

5. Old Crowns and Existing Bridgework

No matter your age, sometimes it can just take a few years for crowns and bridgework to add many years to your face. Now, you don’t even have to replace your less-than-perfect crowns or bridgework to make a dramatic improvement in your smile. Lumineers porcelain can easily be placed on top of browns and bridgework without removing them and without any discomfort, drilling or removal of tooth structure.

 

6. Gaps and Spaces

A variety of shape and spacing issues can also be addressed with Lumineers. Gaps between teeth (diastemas), small tooth size, unevenly shaped teeth, and unevenly aligned teeth may be ideal candidates for Lumineers.

 

7. Misalignment

Crooked and crowded teeth are common problems. You’ve probably been thinking for years that the only solution is orthodontics. This is no longer the case. Lumineers porcelain veneers can eliminate the need for braces, and permanently and painlessly correct misaligned teeth.

 

8. Small Teeth

Some smiles never fully develop into large, “adult” smile. Teeth may be large in the front yet small on the sides. In the past, to create an adult smile, patients had to rely on bonding or extensive orthodontics to fill in the gaps. Now with Lumineers, you can get and adult smile in as little as two office visits with this revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure.

 

9. Chips and Cracks

This nine-year old girl was self-conscious about the chips on her front teeth and the way it changed the shape of her smile. Lumineers offered a fast, non-invasive solution that enhanced her self-esteem. Chips and cracks can be hidden beneath contact-lens-thin Lumineers

 

10. Instant Orthodontics for Young Adults

Lumineers can be a painless and much faster alternative to orthodontics for young adults, providing straight, beautifully shaped and permanently white results.
