The Lumineer is a veneer that has been successfully used in dental practices for a few years; it is a new design of veneer that has taken a lot of the work needed to fit one out of the dental process. A City of London dentist says that the best feature of the Lumineer is that it is very thin and therefore it doesn`t require any preparation work prior to being fitted. It can be used in much the same way as a conventional veneer, and indeed it does the same job on the usual defects of a tooth that a veneer is fitted to. The problems it helps to solve are misaligned, cracked and chipped teeth; however its main use is to hide a discoloured tooth or teeth. A client can have a series of Lumineer`s fitted at one sitting, as all the dentist needs to do is to cement it into position, it takes around 20 minutes to fit one and for it to set hard. The tooth can be used in the usual manner within a few hours, and no one would even know you had a veneer on. The expense of a veneer like the Lumineer has come down a bit due to the manufacturing and fitting costs. A normal veneer involves having a lot of preparation work done to the tooth, and it is also done under a local anaesthetic, that cost is illuminated when the Lumineer is chosen to solve your tooth problem, and it`s not a day too soon.

Central London dentist provides twenty year smile with Lumineer veneers
May 16th, 2010
Sometimes our teeth can suffer from problems that spoil their appearance and make us self-conscious about our smiles. Discolouration and staining, worn tooth enamel or unevenly spaced teeth can all make the teeth look unhealthy and unattractive but there are a number of cosmetic treatments available from Central London dentists that can restore the appearance of damaged teeth.
One of the most effective ways of making teeth look healthier is to use veneers. These are very thin ceramic caps that fit over the top of your existing teeth. They will have been specifically designed for your teeth, to restore the natural and even appearance of healthy teeth. One of the most modern and effective veneers on the market is called Lumineers. These are a very thin veneers manufactured by Cerinate in the US. They are much thinner than traditional laboratory veneers but also incredibly strong. Lumineers are about the same width as a contact lens and involve little or no enamel removal prior to fitting. This can often be the case with some other veneers so that they can fit naturally over the top of existing teeth without appearing too big in the mouth.
Lumineers are so thin that they can even fit over the top of existing dental work such as crowns and veneers already in the mouth. The veneers will cover the front part of the tooth, adding an extra layer of protection against tooth decay and enamel erosion.
Not all dentists will offer Lumineers as they are required to be registered as official suppliers of Cerinate Lumineers. Ask your Central London dentist if they are Lumineer suppliers and you could benefit form the restorative powers of these very thin ceramic caps. Lumineer veneers are very durable and have been clinically proven to last up to twenty years.

May 9th, 2009
Every West London dentist agrees that a radiant smile can change a person’s appearance and can brighten the day of the individual who is the recipient of that beautiful smile. And you can have that dazzling and captivating smile with Lumineers.
Lumineers are ultra-thin veneers that can help change your smile into one that is captivating. This type of veneer has several advantages:

• It covers teeth discoloration
• Repairs fractured or chipped teeth
• Improves the appearance of crooked teeth by making them straighter
The versatility of Lumineers over standard porcelain veneers is well-known among West London dentists. Some of the differences between Lumineers and standard porcelain veneers include:
• Lumineers are made with specially patented cerinate porcelain. This cerinate porcelain is known for its durability. However, it is thinner compared with veneers that are fabricated in laboratories. The thickness of Lumineers is compared to contact lenses.
• Minimal tooth preparation is needed when placing Lumineers because of their ultra-thinness.
• When placing Lumineers over existing bridge work and crown, only a small portion of your natural tooth will be removed through grinding or shaving. Because of this, the procedure involving Lumineers are reversible since the natural structure of your tooth is left intact.
The procedure of placing Lumineers usually takes only two visits to your dentist. The first visit usually involves molding of your teeth and the choosing of the right shade for you. Fitting and checking if the shade is right for you will be done during your second visit to your dentist.
So if you want to dazzle everyone with your perfect, makeover teeth, you can never go wrong with Lumineers.
