Lumineers - Holley Dental Lumineers by Cerinate Make the Most of Your Smile with Minimal Reduction Sometimes, a smile needs a little boost. Veneers can correct many aesthetic dental problems, including: Stains or Discoloration Chips and Cracks Misalignment or Crookedness Sharp, Fang-like Appearance Spaces Between Teeth Other Imperfections Tooth Reduction Before Lumineers However, patients must undergo significant tooth reduction prior to placement of veneers. Tooth reduction makes a bonded veneers appear natural, lying flat, in line with existing teeth. However, when natural dentition is removed, it cannot be replaced. Most veneers are thick, so they require a patient to have significant tooth reduction, and they are not reversible. Because the leucite-reinforced, pressed ceramic used for Lumineers is stronger than that of traditional veneers, it can be made thinner without compromising durability. A thinner veneer means less tooth reduction is required. With veneers, if you ever decide that you want your natural smile back, your dentist can simply remove them. Thin porcelain also allows light to enter and reflect off of natural underlying tooth structure, so veneers project your existing tooth shading and appear completely natural. Patients don’t usually need anesthesia when veneers are placed, and the entire procedure can be completed in just two office visits.
