Veneers have been popular for many years now, they are used to cover a multitude of dental problems and are very effective says a City of Leeds dentist. The problem with them though is that they are an irreversible dental procedure, once fitted they are with you for the life of the tooth. Veneers do discolour and are replaceable, but only with another veneer. The main problem is that the tooth is planned down to the thickness of the veneer and that enamel is lost forever. The new style veneer is called a Lumineer and it really is a breath of fresh air in dental procedures. It is made from a new formula that allows the makers to design them so they are super thin, yet they have lost no strength. They are so thin that no work is needed on the tooth to cement them on, and they hide as many sins as the conventional veneer. They are expected to last 20 years or so, as opposed to a veneer with a life span of around 5-15 years depending on the thickness and design. If new technology comes along in say 12 years time, your dentist can simply remove the Lumineer without any problems or loss of enamel. They can cover up misaligned teeth, discoloured teeth, cracked and chipped teeth and all in a session that can be done in your lunch hour. There is no pain or discomfort and they are usable straight away, the cost is also much cheaper than a normal veneer.
