LUMINEERS^® BY CERINATE^®

LUMINEERS have been called the greatest breakthrough ever in cosmetic dentistry, and this may not be an exaggeration. They are dental veneers made of an advanced new porcelain called Cerinate. Because of its hardness and strength, Lumineers are extremely thin - as thin as contact lenses.

There is virtually no pain or discomfort during or after the procedure. Unlike traditional porcelain veneers that require "tooth preparation" (existing tooth structure is ground down to accommodate a veneer), in most cases there is no drilling... no grinding... no preparation whatsoever. You keep your natural teeth intact!

There is no need for Novocain or any other local anesthetic.

The treatment takes just two or three visits.

The esthetic results are immediate. Lumineers can permanently whiten your teeth. They are a viable alternative to braces in many cases. They are a terrific cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, discolored, misaligned teeth, or even to revitalize old crowns and bridgework. They are perfect for teeth that have been stained by tetracycline or other medications.

Lumineers have the translucent qualities of your real teeth. Since they are so thin, there is no risk of having veneers that make your teeth appear "fat" or unusually "thick" (a common complaint with veneer makeovers). They don't chip, crack or discolor with age. And they are clinically proven to last 20 years or more!

Are you a candidate for veneers? If you are asking yourself this question the answer is probably YES.
