People who wish to give their teeth a boost to smile like their favorite celebrities tend to consider dental veneers. Veneers are these thin, shell-like prostheses made of either porcelain or composite used to correct several smile flaws. Chips, cracks, stubborn stains, slight misalignments, and asymmetrical teeth, to name a few are some of the issues dental veneers can correct.
But as advances in technology continue to make way for newer and better options, there is now another way for patients to enjoy their dental veneers. Instead of reshaping the teeth by removing some of the enamel, Lumineers can now be placed with only minimal preparation. Meaning more of the natural teeth structures can be preserved. To know why more and more people are opting for Lumineers rather than the traditional option, refer to the list we at Sunny Dental of Wilton Manors have prepared.
Temporaries may no longer be needed
Since the process is minimally invasive, Lumineers can be placed with little to no preparation. As a result, there may no longer be a need for temporary placement while waiting for the permanent prosthesis.
Minimally invasive
For people who do not like the idea of shots and drills, know that Lumineers usually needs enamel conditioning for the placement of the veneer material. So there is no need for dentists to perform uncomfortable shots and drills that turns off most people who are thinking of undergoing a dental veneer procedure.
The procedure is straightforward
For the completion of Lumineers, only two dental appointments are required.
First is for the dentist to take impressions of the teeth to be treated. Photos will also be taken to serve as the basis for the creation of perfectly matching Lumineers. These records will then be sent to an offsite laboratory that custom creates the dental prosthesis.
The second visit is for the installation of the Lumineers. The tooth to receive the prosthesis will be etched to create a surface that is good for the Lumineers to adhere to. Once the Lumineer is in place, the patient’s bite will be checked, and then everything is good to go.
Natural-looking
What makes Lumineers seamless when placed is its thickness that is comparable to a contact lens. Aside from its seamlessness, its thin property makes it translucent to appear more like real teeth.
