Patients who come into our practice with imperfections of the smile are often concerned about how they can afford and approach cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dental procedures are incredibly popular and have become more affordable than ever. One solution Dolton, IL area patients may want to consider when they are interested in covering imperfections is that of Lumineers.
The best way to explain Lumineers is to describe them as facings made for the front of a tooth. These facings are custom-fabricated to match the shape, size, and color of the natural teeth so that the restoration is completely seamless when bonded in place. Lumineers are thinner than more conventional porcelain veneers, requiring little or no removal of natural tooth enamel. This also makes them easily reversible if patients decide on an alternative option later on.
The primary benefit of Lumineers is the fact that little to no preparations are needed. Patients do not have to sacrifice healthy tooth structure to place a Lumineer while they would with a porcelain veneer. Lumineers are natural looking, affordable, and can provide years of improvement. Patients who take care of their smile over time and pay close attention to cleaning their veneers will enjoy them for a decade or longer with normal wear and tear. This is a great investment for patients ready to achieve a more beautiful smile that does not make them feel self-conscious or embarrassed about how they look.
To determine if you are a candidate for Lumineers or even more traditional porcelain veneers, you should schedule a consultation appointment and evaluation with Dr. Dean Dietrich. At Pleasant Dental® , patients are encouraged to speak with a professional about whether or not they could benefit from these high-quality facings to enhance the smile.
