Lumineers: features and differences from veneers
Lumineers are a type of dental veneer that has been gaining popularity due to its unique qualities. They are similar to traditional veneers in that they are thin shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth, but there are some key differences that make Lumineers stand out.
Process
The process of getting Lumineers is similar to that of traditional veneers, but with a few differences. First, Lumineers are much thinner than traditional veneers, so they require less tooth preparation. This means that your dentist will not need to remove as much of your natural tooth structure in order to make room for the Lumineers. Additionally, Lumineers are typically made from a stronger, more durable material than traditional veneers, so they can last longer and are less likely to chip or crack.
Benefits
One of the biggest benefits of Lumineers is that they are minimally invasive. Because they require less tooth preparation, they are often a good option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their teeth without undergoing more extensive dental work. Lumineers can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues, including discoloration, gaps, and minor misalignments.
Another benefit of Lumineers is that they can be applied in just two visits to your dentist. During your first visit, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and work with you to choose the right shade of Lumineers for your smile. Your impressions will be sent to a dental lab, where your Lumineers will be custom-made. During your second visit, your dentist will bond the Lumineers to your teeth using a special dental adhesive.
Lumineers vs Veneers
One key difference between Lumineers and traditional veneers is the price. Because Lumineers are made from a higher-quality material and require less tooth preparation, they are often more expensive than traditional veneers. However, many patients feel that the benefits of Lumineers are worth the extra cost.
