Lumineers, the secret behind Chicago

There was a time when celebrity smiles were reserved for, well, celebrities. Back then, the rich and famous had a secret – cosmetic dentistry. Because procedures such as porcelain veneers were uncommon and extremely expensive, few people had access. Fortunately, all of that has changed. Thanks to advances in materials, technology, and techniques, that dazzling smile is more affordable, available, and convenient than ever. In fact, some popular options such as Lumineers can provide a full smile makeover in just a couple of appointments.

How Lumineers improve your smile

If you’ve ever remodeled a home, or a room, you probably know that you don’t need to replace everything just to get a new look. If the structure is sound, you can simply replace the surface. You can have a brand new room with a new coat of paint on the wall, a new veneer on the counter… And the same principle applies to your smile. Okay, painting your teeth isn’t a good idea, but dental veneers can do the same thing for your smile that wood veneering does for a cabinet. Cover all flaws, and create a stunning new finish, customized to your tastes.

The process is simple. First is an examination, and impressions are taken. If necessary, the tooth enamel may be shaped to accommodate your new veneers. The design is sent to a cosmetic dental laboratory, where thin porcelain veneers are created. When they are ready, we’ll arrange your next appointment and put them in place. Simple as that, the smile you’ve dreamed about for years can become a reality in just a few weeks.
