Enhance Your Smile With Porcelain Veneers or Lumineers
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their color, shape, and size. They are an excellent option for addressing cosmetic concerns like stains that don't respond to whitening, slightly crooked teeth, chips, gaps, and discolored fillings. At just 0.5 mm of tooth reduction, they are a more conservative choice compared to crowns.
At The Art of Smile Dental, your smile transformation begins with a consultation to understand your goals. We perform a thorough smile analysis, evaluating the position, shape, size, and color of your teeth, and take digital photos and impressions. This helps us create a wax model to plan your ideal smile.
Next, we provide temporary veneers to trial the look and fit before sending the model to a dental lab for the creation of your custom veneers. Once your permanent veneers arrive, we ensure they fit perfectly and bond them securely to your teeth, giving you a radiant, natural-looking smile!
Lumineers
In some cosmetic smile makeovers, Lumineers may be recommended instead of traditional porcelain veneers. These ultra-thin, no-preparation veneers are placed over your natural teeth without altering their structure, meaning no removal of tooth material is necessary. Because of this, placing Lumineers is a minimally invasive procedure that typically doesn't require anesthesia.
Lumineers are ideal for individuals with small, widely spaced, misshapen, or mildly damaged teeth that don't require significant alignment changes. However, for more complex cases involving large or crowded teeth needing extensive adjustments in shape, size, or color, porcelain veneers are the preferred solution.
Both Lumineers and porcelain veneers typically require just two appointments, followed by a final check-up for adjustments and polishing. We’ll also provide aftercare instructions to help your new smile last for years to come.
