Don't Settle For Traditional Veneers

Enhancing your smile is the easiest way to improve your overall appearance and to appear years younger. Recently, these smile enhancing procedures have been revolutionized with the introduction of LumineersTM.
Most traditional veneer procedures require the removal of sensitive tooth structure, involving pain and discomfort. As these traditional veneers are fused or bonded to teeth, your dentist needs to grind down the tooth for a good fit. If by misfortune, a traditional veneer comes off, patients are left with an ugly little tooth nub.
Recent advancements in cosmetic dentistry require very little, if any, tooth reduction and minimal or no anesthesia. Which means no pain, no shots, no temporaries and no sensitivity before, during or after placement. The results are amazing and more natural looking than earlier generations of cosmetic dental procedures.
The Lumineers porcelain veneers are ultra-thin and extraordinarily strong custom fabricated shells. Dentists apply these contact-lens thin veneers to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. In just two or three visits to the dentist, Lumineers creates a custom-made smile clinically proven to last up to 20 years.
Lumineers can provide instant teeth straightening and permanent whitening. In many cases they are a convenient substitute for braces and other orthodontics, depending on bite severity. This procedure may also be used on worn teeth to strengthen them to prevent further wear. Lumineers can even be placed over crowns to improve esthetics and help rejuvenate a smile.
Cosmetic dentistry is one of the fastest and most permanent procedures that will greatly affect your appearance. For more information about advances in cosmetic dental procedures, ask your dentist for a no-cost consultation to explore the treatment options available for you.
