If you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, cosmetic dentistry can give you the smile of your dreams. Many treatment options are available, but veneers continue to rank among the most popular. Although they can provide the stunning results you desire, you must sacrifice some enamel to benefit from veneers. What if you could achieve the same results without removing enamel? You can with Lumineers. Here are just a few benefits you’ll enjoy when investing in Lumineers.
Correct Many Issues Simultaneously
A Lumineer is a thin shell that’s applied to the front side of a tooth to cover a variety of imperfections, improving its color, size, and shape. When applied to the teeth that show when you smile, Lumineers can fix many issues at once, including stains, chips, and minor alignment concerns. You won’t have to undergo multiple procedures.
No Enamel is Removed
Lumineers and veneers have many similarities, but there’s one big difference. Lumineers do not require any enamel to be removed when prepping your teeth. Therefore, the procedure is reversible if you change your mind down the road, unlike porcelain veneers.
Results Look and Feel Natural
Lumineers are lightweight and custom-made to fit each tooth like a glove. Although it may take a few days to get used to your restorations, in no time at all, you may forget they are not part of your real teeth. Your Lumineers will be made from materials that look like your enamel. Only a trained dental professional will know they aren’t your natural teeth.
Cost-Effective Solution
Lumineers can be an affordable solution to correct various imperfections. You won’t have to pay for multiple procedures to benefit from an attractive smile. In addition, there are many ways to keep Lumineers affordable, like a monthly payment plan through a third-party financing company, such as CareCredit.
Enjoy Long-Lasting Results
Your stunning new smile can last for a decade or longer. The average lifespan of a Lumineer is about 10 years, but it’s not unusual for them to last for 20 years with the correct care, like brushing and flossing. You’ll benefit from long-term results to be proud of.
Lumineers are a great option for people with various imperfections, like tooth stains, cracks, and gaps between teeth. However, they aren’t right for everyone. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to ensure Lumineers are right for you.
