What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are thin, tooth-like shells that cover the front surfaces of your teeth and create a perfect smile without invasive procedures. They are similar to veneers, but they’re thinner and take less time to apply. Lumineers require less preparation than dental veneers, but offer the same beautiful results. And unlike veneers that are permanent, Lumineers may be reversible.

Which benefits do Lumineers offer?

Lumineers at Nova Dental Partners offer the following advantages:

• Minimal preparation time
• No pain or downtime
• May be reversible 
• No removing tooth enamel
• Gorgeous smile
• Enhanced tooth size, shape, and color
• Whiter teeth
• Confident smile

Lumineers can transform your smile into a beautiful grin you’re proud of. 

Are Lumineers right for me?

The Nova Dental Partners team discusses your goals, oral health history, treatment preferences, and lifestyle to learn if you’re a candidate for Lumineers. They examine your gums and teeth and may take dental X-rays. Lumineers correct minor tooth imperfections quickly and easily. 

However, depending on the severity of your tooth flaws, you may be a better candidate for veneers or other cosmetic or restorative dental treatments at Nova Dental Partners. Examples include teeth whitening, Invisalign®, bonding, and crowns.

What should I expect when receiving Lumineers?

You might need two dental appointments when receiving Lumineers. Your dentist takes a mold or impression of your teeth and sends the information to a dental lab. When your custom Lumineers are ready, your dentist bonds them to the surface of your teeth to create a perfect smile. Lumineers can last up to 20 years when cared for properly.

How should I care for my new Lumineers?

It’s important to take good care of your new Lumineers to avoid damage. Maintain good oral hygiene habits by flossing daily and brushing after meals. Don’t chew on hard objects like popcorn kernels, ice, and hard candy. Avoid opening packages with your teeth. 

See the Nova Dental Partners dental team at least every six months for dental exams and professional teeth cleanings. Call the office if your Lumineers get damaged or if you develop tooth pain or signs of gum disease.
