If you think the placement of veneers involves a major dental overhaul, think again. A wonderful solution for patients who wish to improve the quality of their smile while avoiding changes to the tooth structure are no-prep or minimally invasive veneers.
Lumineers are one of the most popular of the “no-prep” variety of veneers. Lumineers use an exceptionally thin veneer layer that is placed on the front side of your teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, the placement of Lumineers does not require the modification of the natural tooth structure or the use of temporary veneers.
Some of the advantages of Lumineers include:
- The placement of Lumineers is minimally invasive and does not require shots, drilling, or anesthesia.
- The teeth do not need to be ground, filed, or cut down with the placement of Lumineers.]
- With Lumineers, treatment is faster than with traditional veneers, and there is no need to use temporary veneers.
- Lumineers can permanently whiten, shape, and lengthen your teeth as well as serve as “instant” orthodontia by covering gaps and misalignments.
- Because there is no need to alter the tooth structure, the placement of Lumineers is painless and especially attractive for patients with highly sensitive teeth.
- Lumineers restore and strengthen your teeth.
- If you are unhappy with the results, treatment with Lumineers is completely reversible because the tooth structure has not been altered in any way.
Lumineers can help to improve a wide array of dental concerns, including chipped, cracked or misshapen teeth, gaps, and discoloration. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, talk to your dental professional about how Lumineers can quickly and easily help you achieve the look you desire.
