Lumineers for Natural Looking Teeth

If porcelain veneers are a turn off after seeing your best friend’s new smile, Lumineers® could be the answer. Lumineers® are thin pieces of porcelain like material that requires little, if any, removal of your natural tooth, and best of all, Lumineers® eliminate the risk of teeth that are too big or teeth that make you look unnatural.

With just two dental visits, your new smile can be a reality as long as you have healthy teeth and gums.

Custom designed to give you a Hollywood Smile; Lumineers® are ultra thin and can be placed without painful shots or drilling. Proven to give you a long lasting smile, Lumineers® can last for more than two decades with proper oral hygiene, and best of all, unlike traditional porcelain veneers, are not permanent and can be removed if you are not happy with your new smile.

The Examination

During your initial consultation, Gentle Touch Family Dentistry will thoroughly examine your mouth to look for any signs of gum disease or tooth decay. If there are problems, those will need to be addressed before your new Lumineers® can be bonded to your teeth.

The Process

If Gentle Touch Family Dentistry determines that you are a good candidate for Lumineers®, a mold or impression will be made of your teeth before being sent to the Lumineers® lab. Photos and dental records will also be sent for an accurate fit. When your veneers are ready, your Lumineers® will be placed and bonded for a precise fit that is both comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

Once placed, Gentle Touch Family Dentistry will etch each tooth for secure bonding. Your bite will be checked and balanced to avoid breakage or chipping.
