1. Make Sure They're Really Lumineers
The Den-Mat Corporation is the developer of Lumineers. The company's teeth veneers are made exclusively through the Cerinate Smile Design Studio. Cerinate is an exclusive porcelain material used in the making of Lumineers. Veneers made any other way are a different type of veneer, not made by the official Lumineers creator.
2. They're Different From Porcelain Veneers
Lumineers, an alternative to veneers, offer easier placement on the teeth. Porcelain veneers require reshaping the teeth by grinding them down to allow coverage with the artificial veneer. Lumineers attach directly to your teeth. Lumineers are reversible, while veneers aren't. Both veneers and Lumineers give teeth permanent whitening with no need to touch them up with solutions. Lumineers can be installed in only two or three appointments with a dental professional.
3. Bigger, Better, Stronger Than Plain Old Veneers
Lumineers are as thin as contact lenses yet are extremely strong. Lumineers are about 1/3 of a millimeter thick, while most other types of veneers measure about 1 mm. You can decide if Lumineers are for you by visiting a cosmetic dentist and discussing your options. You should look at before-and-after photos of work done by any dentist you choose to perform the Lumineers process.
4. Braces Take Too Long to Improve Your Smile
Adults looking into Lumineers favor a quicker solution than braces to improve their smiles. Braces can take two years or more to accomplish the results that Lumineers can provide after a few visits to your dentist's office. Your dentist can also avoid painful dental procedures by placing Lumineers directly over dental work, including bridges and crowns, instead of replacing them when they look substandard.
5. Trust Your Teeth to a Professional
Dentists who specialize in cosmetic dentistry must have a qualification in Lumineers application. Your qualified dental professional can apply Lumineers to fix chips, crooked teeth, spaces or discoloration in your teeth. The American Society for Clinical Research holds workshops, seminars and training classes to train dentists in the application of Lumineers.
