There are many different ways to upgrade your smile in the city of Leeds and at times, it can be a little hard to choose the right one for you. But if you have set your heart on some form of cosmetic dentistry to put that grin back on your face, and after you have had a chat with your dentist about what’s on offer, you can’t go far wrong by having porcelain veneers fitted. These durable and tested little gems will give you a smile that could grace many a glossy magazine cover. The fitting is easy: you get your teeth measured up and then prepared for the fitting. Once the wafer thin veneers are made they are simply cemented into place. Although very delicate and fragile to the touch, once the cement has been cured they multiply in strength, lasting anywhere up to 15 years. But the true beauty of the veneer lies in the porcelain; it gives off an amazing natural hue to the mouth and rejuvenates the smile completely. Gone is that tired smile; cracks or chips are covered up, and no more discolouration. Gaps between the teeth are completely eradicated and the veneers will also restore the teeth to their original length. Even better, some dentists will be able to complete the treatment in one sitting and don’t forget, anyone can have this treatment- such is its versatility.

City of Leeds dentists’ patients delighted by the effect of Lumineers
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011
Veneers have become a popular choice for people who struggle with the image of their smile as a result of unpleasant looking chipped, cracked or stained teeth. The problem with some veneers though is that dentists would have to often remove a portion of the existing tooth in order to satisfactorily fit the veneer onto it. The people at the company who make Lumineer veneers though have found a way to make veneers so thin that partial tooth removal is almost never required.
The special cerinate porcelain that Lumineers utilise is able to be incredibly thin without compromising at all in terms of strength and durability. They can easily be secured over unsightly teeth using dental composite and give your smile an incredible natural look, putting an end to feelings of shyness because of the look of one or more of your teeth.
The added bonus of Lumineer porcelain veneers is that they have a far longer lifespan than many other types of veneer. This is incredible given how small and thin they are. Lumineer veneers shouldn’t need replacing within the first twenty years of them being fitted. This will be welcome news compared to the fact that other veneers might need replacing in about three to five years, a process that can be complicated if some of the natural tooth has had to be removed in the first place.
If your City of Leeds dentist is registered with the Lumineer company then he or she will be able to examine your mouth and determine if Lumineers are right for you. If you decide to go ahead with it, you’ll be delighted at the difference it can make to your smile.
