There have been many innovations that have changed the face of modern dentistry. One of the latest is Lumineer veneers, a form of porcelain tooth cap so thin it requires barely any pre-treatment and no enamel removal before they can be fixed onto your teeth. As well as completely changing the appearance of the teeth, they also add an extra layer of protection to the teeth to protect them form damage and further discolouration.

Dental veneers have been used for decades to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile. They are mostly used to restore the size and shape of damaged teeth and to cover teeth that have been badly stained or discoloured. These are problems that affect millions of people each year in the UK. This means that although they are quite expensive, veneers are a very popular way of restoring your teeth to their former glory. As well as being very effective, veneers are also very hard wearing and last for many years if properly cared for.

Using the old-style veneers, it was often required that dentist removed some of the healthy tooth enamel to allow the veneer to fit comfortably over the top of the existing tooth. This was never an ideal situation as dentists often hated to remove healthy enamel unless absolutely necessary. Now, using Lumineers, the dentist can simply attach the new veneer using a thin layer of dental bonding. The tooth structure remains intact and the tooth is restored and protected. Lumineers are so thin, about the same width as a contact lens that they can even fit over the top of existing dental work.

Lumineers from a Sunbury dentist could be just the answer to all your dental health needs. Ask your dentist at your next check up to see what they could do for you.

Lumineer’s are made from a new formula that is so hard wearing, it only needs to be a fraction of the thickness of the conventional Porcelain Veneer, says a Weybridge dentist. The method of making it and fitting it is much the same, but it is much quicker to make and everyone is still custom made just for you. You need to have a consultation to see if you qualify for a Lumineer, but don`t worry not many are refused them. The dentist takes digital photos and digital X-rays of the tooth that is going to take the veneer. This information is scanned into a computer and an image is created of the finished product. A dental technician then makes the Lumineer and sends it to the dentist, as it is so thin it usually only needs a light scrape of the tooth to make a good adhesion. The tooth and smile make over is quickly finished, and you can be out the door in around 15-20 minutes. The Lumineer can be used just like the tooth it is covering, it is cleaned by brushing, flossing and mouth washes. Tests have given an indication that these veneers will last up to 20 years if taken care of properly. The cost is a lot less than conventional veneers as the work involved is more than halved, it fixes all the usual problems from discolouration, cracks, chips and misaligned teeth. See your dentist first though to see if you qualify for one, they are a perfect solution to an age old problem of ugly teeth, and the effect is instant.

Dental veneers allow you to cover teeth that are affected by discolouration and staining. They can also be used to restore the shape of worn or unevenly spaced teeth. Lumineers are a relatively new form of ultra-thin veneer manufactured by Cerinate that can perform all of these dental restorations without causing any further damage to your teeth.

The difference between Lumineers and regular veneers is that they are made form a special patented form of porcelain that is incredibly strong. This means they can be much thinner than normal veneers while maintaining their strength and protective qualities. Lumineer veneers are about the same width as a contact lens, which means that minimal preparation is needed for the teeth. This has always been one of the major drawbacks of veneers that enamel had to be removed from healthy teeth in order to accommodate the new veneers. Lumineers fit easily over teeth without the need to remove enamel and are so thin they can even fit over existing dental work. This means that the process is reversible, although it is unlikely you will ever want to return to your old teeth when you have seen the effects of Lumineers.

Lumineers veneers are all manufactured in the Cerinate laboratory in the US according to specifications form your Kingston-upon-Thames dentist. However, you will only require two appointments to design and fit the Lumineer veneers. There really is no need to suffer with the embarrassment of stained or uneven teeth. Lumineer veneers can restore the appearance of your beautiful smile and can last for up to twenty years if properly cared for. Ask your dentist for more information about Lumineer veneers.

Lumineers are a special type of veneer designed to be ultra-thin and incredibly strong in order to limit the preparation needed before fitting them to damaged or stained teeth. Veneers have traditionally been used to restore the appearance of badly worn, discoloured or unevenly spaced teeth. In the past however, veneers needed the removal of a certain amount healthy enamel in order to fit the veneers over the teeth.

Lumineers have finally provided an answer to this problem and being only as thin as a contact lens, can easily fit over teeth without any enamel removal. As a result, the procedure is even reversible as normal tooth structures are left intact. This means that it is now possible to repair damaged teeth without causing any unnecessary damage.

Veneers are attached using tooth-coloured resin bonding, which also acts as an extra layer of protection against damage to the teeth. Once fixed in place, veneers are almost impossible to tell apart form normal teeth, especially Lumineer veneers as they are so thin they have a translucent enamel appearance.

Lumineers are manufactured by Cerinate and are revolutionising veneer technology. Even though they are incredibly thin, they are also very strong and resistant to cracks and chips which can be a problem with other veneers. Molesey dentists are now offering Lumineers to patients with a range of visible dental problems. In only two or three appointments it is possible to completely change the appearance of your smile and restore the self-confidence often lost due to poor teeth.
