A Lumineer Veneer Could Be Just What The Dentist Ordered In LE1

Sunday, June 22nd, 2014

iStock_000000363253XSmallIf you’re longing for a dazzling smile, Lumineers could be just what the doctor ordered! These amazing veneers create stunning smiles with minimal interference with tooth structure.

What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are ultra-thin veneers, which are used to create outstandingly beautiful smiles. Lumineers are as thin as a contact lens and they are designed to create amazing aesthetics, as well as providing strength and durability. Lumineers are thinner and lighter than other types of veneer and this means that the preparation phase is much less invasive. Normally, a layer of tooth structure has to be removed to make room for the veneers, but with Lumineers this is not necessary because the shells are so fine. This means that the structure of the tooth is preserved and the enamel is protected.

Treatment takes place in two stages, which are usually around 2 weeks apart. At the first appointment, we will explain how the treatment works and answer any questions you have and then we will create impressions of your teeth, which are sent to highly skilled technicians. After the veneers have been fabricated, they will then be fitted by your dentist. It is important make sure the veneers look perfect before they are bonded onto the teeth so your dentist will place them over your teeth and invite you to have a look at them before securing them firmly in place.

Why would I benefit from Lumineers?

If you have imperfections with your smile and you dream of a perfect set of pearly whites, Lumineers are a great option. They are ultra-thin, they have a beautiful natural looking sheen and they are extremely light and comfortable. Veneer treatment can literally transform your smile, from a stained, chipped and worn set of teeth into a radiant, red-carpet worthy smile.

Going for the Lumineer in the City of Leeds

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

Sometimes your smile can let you down because of the way your teeth have fallen into decay. They can with age, start to appear jaded and worn down and prevent you from expressing yourself and your ideas freely. But there are ways to overcome this very quickly in the city of Leeds and get you smiling with confidence once more. One of the easiest ways to do this is to get your teeth fitted with some Lumineers. These are a very thin form of porcelain covering that fit over the surfaces of your teeth and hide away all of your problems, whilst restoring your smile back to what it once was. Your teeth will have to be measured up first and casts taken from which the Lumineers can be made. Then once they have been made and returned to your dentist, they are simply cemented over the enamel of your teeth and then ‘sealed’ into place with a heat lamp. Though exceedingly thin, they get stronger with the use of the cement and can last you many years if you care for them and treat them with respect. Even better, the treatment can be reversed if you so decide to at a later date with no damage to the enamel of your teeth- but you will look amazing while they are in place.

Ultra-thin Lumineer veneers from City of Leeds dentist

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Patients who have badly discoloured , unevenly spaced or worn down teeth can now have the aesthetic appearance of their teeth restored by the application of veneers. Veneers are thin ceramic shells that are placed over the top of existing teeth to alter the cosmetic appearance.

In the past some dentists have been slightly reticent to use veneers for several reasons. Firstly, veneers often looked very unrealistic when placed next to natural teeth. Secondly, the application of a veneer required a significant portion of the tooth enamel to be ground away in order to accommodate the veneer and dental cement without the tooth appearing too big.

However, thanks to the improvements in dental technology, there are now veneers that are incredibly lifelike and so thin that only minimal tooth preparation is required prior to fixing. Lumineers, manufactured by Cerinate, are such veneers. They are incredibly thin, about the same width as a contact lens, and only require the smallest amount of enamel removal to fit over the tooth. In fact, Lumineer veneers are so thin and require such minor preparation work that they are completely removable. They are also able to fit over existing crowns and dental work. This means that the need for preparation work is reduced and that the amount of pain and discomfort to the patient is also significantly smaller.

Lumineers are at the cutting edge of dental technology and represent a huge leap towards realistic and effective dental substitute for a real tooth. If you require a new veneer or are thinking about having an existing dental repair updated, then ask a City of Leeds dentist about Lumineer veneers at your next appointment.

Central Leeds dentist use ultra-thin Lumineer veneeres to fix chipped tooth

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Dental veneers are artificial tooth crowns that fit over existing teeeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. When used correctly, they can restore the appearance of a healthy smile and be invaluable in helping patients regain their self-confidence.

Lumineers are a new type of ultra thin veneer designed and manufactured by Cerinate. As thin as a contact lens, Lumineers can greatly improve the appearance of worn down, discoloured or uneven teeth. They differ from the more conventional veneers because they are much thinner. Traditional laboratory manufactured veneers require a significant portion of the existing tooth to be removed so that the they can fit over the top without appearing too big. With Lumineers, very little of your tooth enamel needs to be shaved off or ground away. This means that, unlike traditional veneers, the Lumineer veneer process is reversible. In fact Lumineers are so thin and versatile that they will even fit over existing dental work, including previously installed crowns.

Lumineers are at the cutting edge of dental technology, which over the last 20 years has seen vast improvements in pain reduction, procedure times and procedure accuracy. Like all dental advances, they may not be suitable in all instances for all patients but in the right circumstances Lumineers can achieve stunning results. Central Leeds dentists are currently using Lumineer technology to repair cracked and chipped teeth, cover up discoloured teeth and restore healthy looking smiles to patients’ faces.
