What are Lumineers?
Lumineers by Cerinate are a terrific cosmetic solution for permanently stained, chipped, discolored and misaligned teeth, or even to revitalize old crown and bridgework. Lumineers by Cerinate are porcelain veneers that can be made as thin as a contact lens and are placed over existing teeth without requiring possibly painful removal of sensitive tooth structure. LUMINEERS is the trade name for a type of veneer and therefore can only be made from patented Cerinate porcelain.
In just two or three visits to the dentist, Lumineers provide a custom-made smile clinically proven to last up to 20 years. Lumineers by Cerinate are painless because they don't require removal of tooth structure. Dentists apply these contact lens-thin "smile shapers" to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. Lumineers can even be placed on porcelain bridgework and crowns with the new Revitalize Kit. Lumineers by Cerinate are the best of both worlds - ultra-thin, yet super strong for a radiant smile that resists any cracking, which can damage restorations.
Are Lumineers Right for Me?
This is a very important question and can only be answered by a visit to a trained Lumineers Cosmetic Dentist. As thin as Lumineers are they do add to the thickness of your tooth. If your teeth are free of decay and there is enough room available without removing much or any tooth then often times Lumineers are an excellent cosmetic solution! If it is necessary to remove more tooth structure to create space for the Lumineers, then either Lumineers or a more typical Porcelain Veneer may be the right treatment. In either case, it is important to work with a dentist who has extensive cosmetic training to make sure you make the right choice. If you are considering Lumineers because you would like to avoid the possible discomfort of drilling, you may want to consider Sedation Dentistry. Sedation Dentistry is a state of the art technology that allows you to get all of your dental work done in a few visits while you relax in a sleep like state!
Does it Matter which Dentist Applies My Lumineers?
Absolutely! Only a skilled Cosmetic Dentist with training in Lumineers can help you evaluate the appropriateness of Lumineers and apply them for a great result. The training for Lumineers is relatively short (many dentists have been trained in Lumineers) and most of the expertise necessary really comes from their veneer and cosmetic training. We of course believe we have some of the best cosmetic trained dentists in the area. At iSmile Dental Associates we have three Lumineer trained dentists and Dr. Sirakian is a well known Prosthodontist and Cosmetic Dentist with extensive training. Click here to see his biography.
How Much do Lumineers Cost?
Some people consider Lumineers because they believe the cost is less than traditional veneers. Unfortunately, that is not really the case. Lumineers or traditional dental veneers can range between $1,000 each to over $2,000 each depending on the cost of materials and other factors specific to your situation. If you are interested in great cosmetic dentistry and the upfront cost is a consideration, at iSmile we can often arrange dental financing that fits your specific needs, so you can have the smile of your dreams.
