Modern problems that arise in life demand modern answers and all that some of us require at times is a ‘quick fix’ to get us through; the modern world has developed a ‘use it and bin it’ mentality and when we want things, we want them straight away to replace what we have discarded. Now, that’s not to say that the world of dentistry employs this philosophy, but over the past 30 years, it too has adjusted some its treatments that a modern world can place on our teeth, especially the need to look good cosmetically. One of the procedures to come out of the States is the Lumineer, a treatment to cater for the person on the go. It’s a specially patented porcelain covering that is simply cemented onto the surface of the tooth to improve the over all appearance of the smile.

Every year that goes by, more and more techniques are developed to put the smile back in our mouths and convince us of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry and in Leeds you can see it everywhere you go. We’re constantly bombarded with images of people smiling the ‘perfect’ smile. But now it’s becoming more accessible to all of us and not just those in a poster or on the telly. Teeth do take a battering over time and become stained chipped or cracked and if you work in the public eye all the time, it’s almost become a requirement to look clean cut and confident, and radiating a glamorous smile can reflect that. One of the latest trends is to get lumineers fitted. They aren’t exactly long lasting mind, about 5 years maximum, but to dismiss their shelf life is to dismiss the philosophy behind them; they will restore an incredible sheen to the teeth. They are constructed from a patented porcelain that’s very thin (a third of a normal veneer) and very strong, and this is where they have an advantage over standard 
Over time the colour of your teeth fades and you may experience gaps in your smile. This is as unavoidable as the greying of hair. But having the perfect smile is vital for boosting self-esteem. New Lumineer
