The Lumineer veneer is now proving to be very popular not only with cosmetic dentists, but also their clients says a Leeds Central dentist. The magnificent thing about them is that they are so hard wearing; they now come in an ultra thin size. As veneers go that in itself is a real breakthrough in dental advances, because it means that they can just be literally popped onto a tooth without any previous preparation work. That is good news not just for their clients, but also for your dentist too as it means they don`t have to destroy your tooth enamel in order to fit it. They take around 20 minutes to fit and set, so you could easily have a whole set of them fitted in a few hours. They are mainly used to disguise discoloured teeth, but they are also good to hide a chipped or misaligned tooth. A crack in a tooth can also be hidden by a Lumineer, and at the same time the cement used to adhere it to the tooth will also seal the crack. The cost of a Lumineer as compared to a conventional veneer is very competitive, this is due to the easier manufacture of a Lumineer, and the fact that not so much preparation work is needed to fix the veneer to the tooth. When a normal veneer is attached, the tooth has to be shaved of the same thickness to allow the veneer to be attached; this involves shaving of the tooth enamel which never grows back.
