Lumineers® represent a breakthrough in the field of cosmetic dentistry, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional dental veneers. Unlike conventional veneers that require significant removal of the tooth structure to fit properly, Lumineers are ultra-thin and can be applied directly over your existing teeth without the need for grinding or shaving. This key difference not only preserves the integrity of your natural teeth but also simplifies the application process, making it less daunting for patients.
The process of getting Lumineers typically involves two visits to the dental office. Initially, our dentist and team will take precise impressions of your teeth. This step is crucial for ensuring that your Lumineers fit perfectly and look natural. In addition, you will have the opportunity to discuss the desired whiteness level, ensuring that your new smile meets your expectations. These impressions are then sent to the DenMat Lab, the exclusive manufacturer of Lumineers, where each set is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
During your second appointment, Dr. Pasquale Malpeso will bond the Lumineers to your teeth. This process is meticulously carried out to ensure a comfortable fit and an aesthetically pleasing result. One of the notable advantages of Lumineers is the lack of post-procedure sensitivity, a common issue with traditional veneers. This means patients can enjoy their new smiles without discomfort. Furthermore, with proper care, Lumineers can last up to 20 years, making them a long-term investment in your smile.
Opting for Lumineers can be a transformative decision for those looking to enhance their smile without the invasiveness of traditional veneers.
