LUMINEERS

LUMINEERS are porcelain veneers made of extremely thin casings of ceramic that are bonded to the front of the patients’ tooth to create a new smile. LUMINEERS are placed over the front of teeth that appear too small or large, slightly discolored, or simply are not cosmetically pleasing to the patient. For many patients, teeth may have chipped, become discolored, or are slightly crooked. For the majority of these patients, porcelain LUMINEERS can prove to be the perfect solution.

When placing porcelain LUMINEERS, we pay close attention to the patients surrounding teeth and design each LUMINEER to complement the overall smile. The result is a beautiful, attractive new smile.

If cared for properly, your LUMINEERS will last you a long time. We ensure that your new veneers are constructed of the most durable porcelain materials available.

Procedure

The procedure begins with the preparation of the tooth. This entails meticulously shaping the tooth in preparation for the new veneer. Once we have shaped the tooth, we will take an impression. This impression will be sent to our lab where your new restoration will be crafted. During your second visit to the office, we will proceed with the placement of your final restoration. The LUMINEERS will be fitted comfortably into the mouth. We will make every effort to ensure that the new tooth feels exactly like one of your natural teeth. The final step in the process will be to bond the new veneers into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.
