So, what the hell are Lumineers you may ask yourself? Well here’s a thing for all of you that have aspirations of creeping up the ladder of getting somewhere- it is also good to have a nice smile about you while you are plying your trade. Some dental treatments can come across as a bit harsh but, there are some lovely short sharp shocks that can make you smile better than all of the people that you are hanging out with. Lumineers are a specifically patented form of veneers that are designed to rejuvenate your teeth and make you feel special again. Normal veneers involve the removal of the tooth’s enamel, but with Lumineers and with a quick clean up of the teeth, they are simply glued onto the surface of the teeth- a process that can also be reversed as well. They are extremely delicate but very instant for a person in a hurry especially now that CEREC treatments are available all around west London and you can get it done in no time at all. They aren’t exactly the most durable of treatments- 5 years at best, but if you are flying off to the most important business meeting of your life over the other side of the world and you want to look your best but feel that your teeth are a tad jaded, then get a Lumineer.

There is a porcelain dental veneer on the market which has been affectionately dubbed the ‘contact lens for teeth’. This is because Lumineers are so thin. Part of the problem with dental veneers in the past was that often a significant portion of the existing tooth had to be removed in order to fit the veneer on. This meant extra time at the surgery and a procedure that not every one found entirely pleasant. With Lumineers, you won’t have to go through this.

People choose to wear dental veneers for aesthetic reasons. Teeth which are cracked or chipped but still functional might spoil the effect of your smile and you will probably wish to cover it up with something that looks more pleasant and completes your smile. Lumineers achieve this and give patients brilliant looking smiles. The boost in self confidence that patients feel is incredible. Of course the way you behave is more important than how you look but a healthy looking sparkle to all of your teeth can really make you feel better about yourself.

Lumineer veneers tend to last longer than most other porcelain dental veneers too. It is unlikely that you will need to replace a Lumineer for twenty years whereas some other dental veneers can have a lifespan as short as just three years. Once fitted you won’t even have to think about it because it will be there for such a long time.

Because they are made from special, patented material, Lumineers are only available the labs in the United States and your Central London dentist must be registered with them in order to carry out the procedure. Ask your dentist next time you see them about Lumineers and cover up that unsightly cracked, chipped or stained tooth.

A lumineer is a special type of porcelain veneer that is ultra thin, just like traditional veneers it can improve the appearance of your smile by filling gaps and enhancing worn down unsightly teeth. The difference with Lumineers is that they are made from a special type of porcelain that is extremely strong yet a great deal thinner than normal veneers. There is a distinct advantage with this kind of veneer as there is very little tooth preparation required to have the veneers fitted. This procedure does not involve the removal of half the natural tooth in order to be placed, instead this type fits over the natural tooth. Another distinct advantage of Lumineers is that the process is completely reversible, so there is no risk or permanent commitment involved. In addition to this there is now Lumineers with laminate in Lumitray technology which is a new process involving Lumineers that allows a dentist to attach all the Lumineers enhancements at once, cutting down the procedure time considerably. Typically the procedure takes around two dental visits, during the initial treatment a mould is taken, on the second visit the Lumineers will be checked and fitted pain free.
