Cosmetic Dentist Uses for Dental Lumineers
When your front teeth are not looking their best, you may want to replace them or find that a better option is to receive dental Lumineers®. A dentist can place them over your natural teeth to cover:
- Spaces between your teeth
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Crooked or misshapen teeth
These are a specific type of dental veneer that is very popular nowadays because they are an extremely thin strip of porcelain that fits over your natural teeth and hides an imperfect whale offering you the benefits of a brighter smile.
This is a great choice if you are looking to augment your teeth and make them look like there is no damage or stains. You will find that your front teeth look perfectly formed and shaped, and this gives you a smile you are proud of.
What to expect at your first appointment
At your first appointment or initial consultation, your dentist will want to examine your teeth, bone, and gums to see that they are in perfect health. If you suffer from tooth decay or any gum disease, you will need to have this problem treated before it can be placed. If your gums and teeth check out okay, the dentist will want to make bite impressions and take X-rays to examine the exact way your teeth fit together.
One reason they are so popular is that, unlike traditional porcelain veneers that are permanent, they can be later removed or left in place for over 20 years. This way, you can keep your options open.
Your second appointment
At your second appointment, they will be bonded to your teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers require very little preparation. This is because there is no need to remove any tooth enamel before bonding them to your teeth. The cosmetic dentist is likely to test each and ensure a proper fit before the actual bonding. During this bonding process, it is possible that a bonding substance may ooze out from beneath, but your dentist is prepared for this. He or she will carefully remove the excess bonding by using a beveled feather edge margin.
Once in place, your dentist will want to polish them until they are completely smooth. This smoothness not only makes your teeth look more attractive but also makes it unlikely for bacteria and staining agents to adhere to the surface of your new smile. This smoother surface is also more durable than your natural teeth. Once this treatment is finished, you will be left with a beautiful bright white smile you can be proud of.
A wide range of advantages
One main advantage of having Lumineers is that no painful alternations of the teeth are required before they can be applied. Also, the covers are so thin and inconspicuous that your speech and your eating will rarely be affected. This also enhances your smile without compromising your natural look. There are no injections necessary. They are resistant to staining and discoloration and are made of an ultra-thin material that is about the thickness of a contact lens. Finally, this treatment is entirely reversible.
