They are made from a thin yet strong type of material called cerinate and are fitted smoothly and easily. This is a painless procedure that results in an improved smile and wellbeing for the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lumineers along with veneers and dental implants are a popular form of treatment for stained teeth in older patients. Younger patients choose teeth whitening instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">REASONS FOR LUMINEERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lumineers are chosen as a lightweight and flexible solution to the problem of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Misaligned teeth<\/li><li>Discoloured teeth<\/li><li>Crooked teeth<\/li><li>Chipped teeth<\/li><li>Worn down teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>They are placed over the teeth as part of a smile makeover or as an alternative to teeth whitening. The difference between lumineers and veneers is that with lumineers, minimal preparation is needed before they are fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With veneers, the offending tooth (or teeth) is reshaped and prepared beforehand and is ready to accept the veneer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LUMINEERS PROCEDURE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dentist takes an impression of your teeth, using a mould, which is used to fabricate your lumineers. This impression is sent away to a dental laboratory where the lumineers are produced from porcelain cerinate &#8211; a wafer thin material which has the same thickness as a contact lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lumineers are fitted in a second visit. The dentist fits these over your existing teeth without the need to make any adjustments. They can also be fitted over a bridge or crowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lumineers are an ultra slim type of veneer which is used to cover stained or discoloured teeth.
