What Are Lumineers?
Lumineers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain veneers that represent the cutting edge of cosmetic dentistry. At just 0.2 to 0.3 mm thick—thinner than a contact lens—these dental veneers offer a minimally invasive solution for achieving your perfect, radiant smile.
Crafted from patented Cerinate porcelain, Lumineers are designed to fully cover imperfections on the front surface of your natural teeth while preserving your natural tooth enamel. This innovative dental procedure has revolutionized cosmetic procedures by eliminating the need for extensive tooth preparation.
What Dental Issues Can Lumineers Address?
Our dentists in Wilmington and Seaford, DE use Lumineers to cover imperfections, including:
- Severely discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped teeth and minor cracks
- Broken teeth with surface damage
- Unwanted gaps between teeth
- Mildly misaligned or uneven teeth
- Worn-down tooth surfaces
- Damaged teeth from wear or aging
Why Choose Lumineers Over Traditional Veneers?
There are many advantages of Lumineers over traditional veneers, such as:
- Minimally Invasive Dental Procedures: Unlike traditional veneers that require significant enamel removal, Lumineers preserve your natural tooth structure. This affordable alternative to extensive restorative dentistry means no drilling or permanent alteration of your teeth.
- Pain-Free Cosmetic Dentistry Experience: The Lumineers procedure is virtually painless, with most patients reporting zero discomfort during application. No anesthesia or shots required—just comfortable, stress-free treatment.
- Reversible Treatment Option: Because Lumineers don’t alter your natural tooth enamel, they can be removed if your dental needs change, offering flexibility that traditional veneers cannot match.
- Quick Appointment Process: Complete your smile transformation in just at least two appointments, compared to multiple visits required for conventional veneers.
- Natural Looking Results: The translucent Cerinate porcelain mimics your natural teeth’s light-reflecting properties, ensuring a seamless, beautiful smile that looks authentically yours.
