What are Lumineers?

Wednesday, August 26th, 2015

If you’ve been dreaming of a perfect white smile for a long time, Lumineers could be just what you’ve been looking for. These beautifully designed veneers are famed for creating truly beautiful smiles, so why not treat your teeth to some TLC and call us today?

What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are a type of veneer made from specially designed, patented pressed ceramic. They are made by Cerinate in the USA and offer style as well as substance. In addition to producing natural looking aesthetics, Lumineers are also hard-wearing and last up to twice as long as regular porcelain veneers.

Lumineers are also incredibly thin, which means the treatment process is simpler and quicker as minimal preparation is required. Usually, the teeth are prepared before treatment, but with Lumineers the veneers can often be bonded directly onto the teeth. This eliminates discomfort and ensures that the tooth structure remains intact.

Who can benefit from Lumineers?

Lumineers are capable of treating a whole range of issues, including:

  • Stained teeth that are unsuitable for teeth whitening treatment
  • Small gaps between the smile
  • Worn, eroded edges
  • Unbalanced and uneven teeth
  • Chips and minor breaks

With Lumineers we can transform the look of your smile in a matter of weeks, with no pain at all and the promise of incredible results that will last around 20 years.

We often find that patients who have cosmetic flaws feel self conscious about their smile and Lumineers can really help to build confidence and ensure clients feel much more comfortable when they show their teeth. We believe that everyone has a right to love their smile and we are confident that we can make this dream come true with Lumineers.

Makeover Your Smile with Luxurious Lumineers

Wednesday, July 8th, 2015

If you’re searching for a treatment to makeover your smile with a touch of luxury, Lumineers could be the perfect choice. These high grade veneers have an outstanding reputation for producing beautiful, radiant smiles.

About Lumineers

Lumineers are a type of veneer that provide natural-looking aesthetics for a bright and beautiful smile. These veneers are different to other veneers because they are made from a patented ceramic material specially formulated in the USA by Cerinate. Lumineers are incredibly thin, but they are also very durable and they last up to twice as long as other veneers.

Lumineer treatment

Normally with veneers, the teeth require preparation before the veneers are placed to make space for the new shells. However, with Lumineers, as the veneers are so thin, minimal preparation is required. Your dentist will gently etch the tooth surfaces to ready them for the veneers and the Lumineers can then be bonded onto the teeth to create a stunning new smile. Treatment involves two sessions only: one session to check your teeth and create impressions and a second session to fit your bespoke Lumineers.

The benefits of Lumineers

Lumineers offer many benefits for those looking to transform the appearance of their smile. These veneers look incredible but they are also very strong, so they represent a really good investment. They should last around 20 years, so you can enjoy a beautiful, timeless smile. As Lumineers are so thin and light, preparation is minimal and this means the structure of the tooth remains intact. This not only prevents weakening, it also means that treatment is reversible. Lumineers are also versatile and they can solve a variety of common aesthetic problems including chipped and worn teeth, gaps between the teeth and staining.

Lighten Up Your Smile This Winter With Liverpool Lumineers

Monday, October 20th, 2014

What better way to beat the winter blues than with a bright and beautiful new smile? Whether you’re aiming to dazzle at the Christmas party or you’re determined to start 2015 with a bang, Lumineers promise to give you a flawless, radiant smile.

What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are veneers with a difference! These amazing veneers produce stunning, natural looking aesthetics, as well as offering durability and strength. Lumineers are made from patented ceramic material made by Cerinate and they are up to twice as strong as traditional porcelain veneers.

Although they pack a lot of punch, Lumineers are actually much thinner than most other veneers and this means that minimal preparation is required. Usually, before you have veneers fitted, your dentist will remove a layer of the tooth surface to make extra space for the new veneers, but with Lumineers, this is often not necessary and the veneers can be bonded directly onto the teeth.

The treatment process is simple and quick with Lumineers and we can usually complete your treatment in just two sessions. During the first session, we discuss the treatment with you, go through the benefits and answer any questions you have; we then create the impressions of your teeth. During the second session, we will fit your new veneers and you can see your beaming new smile in all its glory.

How long do Lumineers last?

One of the best things about Lumineers, aside from the wonderful aesthetics they create, is their staying power. These veneers should give you a timeless, beautiful smile for at least 20 years provided that you take good care of them. Lumineers tend to be more expensive than other treatments, but they do last longer, so they represent a good long-term investment.

Cover Those Imperfections With High Quality Veneers For Patients In Liverpool

Thursday, October 4th, 2012

Alas, everything from a major accident to drinking tea can negatively impact on your teeth and, unless you have been eating tofu in a bubble since birth, chances are some cosmetic blemishes will have reared their niggling little features on those otherwise pristine and pearly whites. Dental veneers are wafer thin shells of tooth-like material which can be affixed to your teeth, thus covering up anything undesired and providing the appearance of perfect teeth. Veneers can help cover gaps, hide stains, and seemingly repair damage teeth and, although not ideal, can even aid with marginally crooked teeth in a process nicknamed ‘instant orthodontics’. There are different types of veneer and the debate tends to be between ‘porcelain or composite’ veneers – which is better? At Liverpool Dental Spa we prefer ‘Lumineers’ – the veneer equivalent of dynamite in a game of rock-paper-scissors.

What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are a special type of Veneer made from very thin, but very strong, material.

The advantages of Lumineers

Standard veneers are often called ‘false nails for the teeth,’ in part on account of their thickness. In contrast, Lumineers are called ‘contact lenses for the teeth’ on account of how thin they are. Why exactly is this of any advantage? Standard Veneers require a portion of your front teeth to be removed in order to accommodate them, thus making the process irreversible. Lumineers, in contrast, require little to no teeth preparation, meaning the process can often be reversed.   Composite veneers also tend to have a lifespan of two years at best, whilst Porcelain Veneers typically last for between five and ten years. Lumineers, in contrast, can last for up to twenty years. Lumineers cost more than other veneers, but their durability can make them more cost-effective in the long run. Lumineers are also very versatile and should be able to fit over any other dental work you have had done without any problem.

Do all dentists offer this treatment?

No, but we at Liverpool Dental Spa do. If this specialist treatment sounds right for you, then why not call us for a consultation?
