How can you decide if Lumineers are the right choice for your smile makeover? At the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, our accomplished cosmetic dentists are familiar with various brands of porcelain veneers. Consider a few facts about Lumineers.
Lumineers Facts
- Conservative preparation
Lumineers are marketed as no-prep porcelain veneers—able to be placed without removing any tooth structure. But it is often difficult to achieve natural-looking results without removing some enamel. Teeth often look and feel bulky when no prep is done at all. Still, ultra-thin veneers are a more conservative option than traditional porcelain veneers. So even if you’re not a candidate for a no-prep option, you may be a candidate for a minimal-prep option.
- Versatility
Lumineers can correct a number of minor defects and imperfections, such as crooked, cracked, misshapen, or discolored teeth. But so can other brands of porcelain veneers.
- Potential
Lumineers have the potential to provide quick results for a smile makeover. The same is true of other brands of porcelain veneers. What about the results?
- Outcome
A major disadvantage of choosing a product based on advertisement alone is that the results you see in the advertisement photos are ideal. And the facts are that most people don’t receive ideal results with Lumineers.
Many experienced cosmetic dentists agree that the Lumineers laboratory doesn’t produce personalized results for each patient. At the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, our skilled cosmetic dentists are picky about the outcome for every patient who receives porcelain veneers. That’s why they choose to offer brands other than Lumineers.
