Illuminate your smile with Lumineers in Chicago

There is no better feeling walking into a crowded room, flashing a remarkable smile, knowing all eyes are on you. That is, unless your smile is remarkable for all the wrong reasons. Don't let chipped, misshapen, discolored, or otherwise unattractive teeth ruin your smile, and your grand entrance to the party.

With today's cosmetic dentistry, we have a wide array of options for fixing an unattractive smile. One of the most requested is porcelain veneers. They are popular for many reasons. Veneers can correct multiple cosmetic issues, with a single fast and conservative procedure. There are many brands and types veneers, which people often assume are basically the same. However, veneers are not all created equal. Which one is best? Each has unique advantages, which is why we offer a variety. After an examination, and a discussion of your goals, your dentist will explain the best options for you. For patients seeking a fast and conservative solution, Lumineers are often the treatment of choice.

How are Lumineers different?

Lumineers are a type of porcelain veneer, known as low prep or no prep. They are made from an extremely strong and durable type of porcelain, enabling them to be even thinner than traditional veneers. In many cases, Lumineers can be applied to the surface of teeth without removing any enamel. If preparation is needed, it is minimal.

The benefits of Lumineers, as opposed to the traditional style of porcelain veneer, include:

• Preserve more of your natural tooth structure
  
  
• Anesthetic is often unnecessary, because there is very little tooth preparation
  
  
• If the tooth is not altered, the procedure is reversible
  
  
• There is no need to wear temporary veneers

Are Lumineers right for you?

Lumineers can correct virtually anything that traditional veneers can. However, if your teeth are severely discolored, a thicker veneer may be necessary in order to be fully opaque. Crooked or misshapen teeth may also need thicker veneers for optimal results.
