Big changes don’t always have to come at a cost. What if we told you that you could have the smile makeover you’ve always wanted, without the painful dental work attached? It’s all possible with the remarkable Lumineers.
These ultra-thin porcelain veneers slip over your natural teeth – often without requiring tooth reduction. You can cut out shots, temporaries, and and discomfort, and you can have it all without compromising your treatment results.
Once you possess the smile you’ve always wanted, your life changes. Don’t put off that happy day any longer. Hinsdale Dentistry offers Lumineers to patients seeking a transformation.
Why Lumineers are So Comfortable
Depending on your smile’s aesthetics, your cosmetic treatment will require certain adjustments. This sometimes means that the natural tooth will need to be altered. If you’re getting crowns or veneers, some of the enamel will need to be removed in order for the restorations to fit. These restorations provide the most dramatic type of change, but demand that your teeth accommodate them.
An impressive level of dental change will require commitment on the patient’s part. Or, at least, it did – until Lumineers came along. These veneers can be no-prep, meaning that the patient is able to put a new smile in place without losing any of his or her natural teeth.
All The Drama of A New Smile – Without Tooth Preparation
Your teeth are important. You (and your dentist) want them to last as long as possible, remaining with you to boost your smile and confidence. So it can seem counterintuitive to remove natural tooth structure in order to perfect a smile.
With Lumineers, your cosmetic treatment leaves your teeth alone. This not only allows you to enjoy a future with your entire teeth in place, but also improves upon the veneer procedure. You won’t need to worry about shots of local anesthetic, drilling, numbness, or post-procedure soreness. Instead, you’ll just be ready to share your new smile with the world.
Dental anxiety shouldn’t keep patients from getting the new smiles that they’re seeking. We all deserve pearly whites that we’re proud to show off. And with Lumineers, even the most nervous patients can see the kind of treatment others receive. The time spent in the dental chair is no different from that experienced during a dental exam – no pain, no shots, and no drill.
What Will Porcelain Veneers Do For Your Smile?
Now that you know how comfortable Lumineers can be to receive, you’re probably interested in understanding the kinds of changes they bring into your life. As we mentioned earlier, Lumineers allow for a dramatic transformation. But they’re also appropriate for gentler adjustments to your smile. If there’s a chip that’s been bothering you, or a stain that stands out, then Lumineers will mask that flaw. At the same time, they’ll keep your smile looking completely natural.
Seek out Lumineers for any of the following:
- Gaps
- Chips
- Stains / discoloration
- Crookedness
- Asymmetry
- Sensitive teeth
- Short teeth
- Small teeth
- Worn teeth
We typically recommend that Lumineers be placed as a set, so that the entirety of your smile looks natural and cohesive. This can be done on just your upper front teeth, or both your upper and lower front teeth. Dr. Harnois will talk with you about your aesthetic goals, health needs, and the Lumineers option that may bring the best results.
