LUMINEERS®

Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are designed to be ultra-thin—about as thin as a contact lens—so they can be applied seamlessly over your teeth. Lumineers are so thin, in fact, that little to no tooth reduction is required for treatment. Traditional veneers are much thicker and often require grinding down of the original tooth structure for proper placement.

The innovative design not only makes application far less invasive than traditional veneers, but it also makes for a speedy treatment process. Most cases can be taken care of in as little as two visits. 

They are a dependable, affordable solution to imperfect smiles. We provide this cosmetic dentistry service to our patients in Livingston. They are thin, tooth-colored porcelain shells that cover your natural teeth. Long-lasting and natural-looking, they can protect your teeth from further damage and give you the beautiful smile you desire.

Lumineers are a fantastic option to address certain esthetic issues with one or more teeth, but they are not the best solution for every dental problem, as they can be pricey and some amount of natural enamel must be scraped away to make room for them. The best candidates are patients who want to:

• Brighten stained and discolored teeth
• Restore chipped teeth
• Eliminate spacing and gaps
• Align crooked teeth
• Reshape small or misshapen teeth
• Renew old dental work
• Perfect your Hollywood smile

Whether we are helping fill in a gap, lengthening a worn-down tooth, or covering cracks or chips, Lumineer veneers can give you a fuller, more symmetrical smile — one that you can show the world with confidence. For patients with alignment issues or less severe discoloration, orthodontic and whitening treatment will usually be preferable.

Because they are as resilient as tooth enamel, they protect the teeth from damage and can last many years. They are custom-made to the contour of the patient’s teeth and bonded to the enamel over the course of one or two in-office procedures.

It’s important to take good care of your Lumineers once you have them so that they will last as long as they should before they need replacement. This mainly consists of the same good brushing and flossing habits you maintain for your natural teeth, and you can minimize the risk of them becoming stained by avoiding foods and drinks that stain, such as coffee and red wine.

A smile makeover goes beyond responding to dental problems as they arise. A smile makeover is a comprehensive plan by the best cosmetic dentist that’s uniquely suited to your own facial features and aesthetic preferences.

Our caring team and doctors focus on transforming ordinary smiles into brilliant, stunning smiles through our smile makeover process, often including Lumineers. Regardless of what your smile looks like today, we are confident that we can improve your smile.

The joy of a beautiful smile is a priceless commodity. We love helping our patients achieve the smiles they’ve always wanted, and with the help of Lumineers, it’s as simple as ever.
