Veneers And Lumineers
Not all problems of the teeth require major interventions, surgeries or artificial adjustments like implants or crowns. For minor dental problems like cracks, small gaps, chipped teeth, etc., veneers and lumineers provide excellent options for correction. They are made of fine substances, are long-lasting solutions and can be placed permanently or as a removable option. Veneers are an opaque looking thick covering of a tooth, while lumineers are very thin and translucent coverings. Veneers are bonded with the teeth permanently, whereas lumineers are placed as removable objects. Made in porcelain or composite finish, veneers are thicker than lumineers (that are as thin as a contact lens), and come in a porcelain-finished exterior.
The procedure
- Initial consultation with the expert to determine what option would be appropriate.
- Preparation of the tooth by removing ten layer of enamel for placing the veneer. There is no preparation for lumineers as they are thin.
- Impression of teeth to be sent to the lab and temporary veneers to be placed.
- Lab sends the new veneer or lumineer to be bonded to the teeth.
- Follow-up and reviews to determine if veneers or lumineers have bonded the right way with the teeth.
