Lumineers (Cost, Pros & Cons) – Cosmetic Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY
When you ask, “How much are Lumineers,” the answer depends on what you’re measuring. In terms of your confidence and appearance, the cost is negligible. Insurance doesn’t cover Lumineers, however, so you’ll want to discuss payment options with your Brooklyn cosmetic dentist before the procedure. Lumineers before and after in Brooklyn can mean the difference between celebrity status and obscurity.
Veneers for your teeth have been around for some time. Used to correct a myriad of dental concerns, veneers have come under fire because the process of seating them on your teeth requires that a small amount of enamel be removed. The decision to place veneers is permanent, yet removing tooth enamel can cause sensitivity to hot and cold foods and liquids.
Lumineers are different. They’re the next step in the evolution of veneers. Ultrathin, these slender porcelain coverings enjoy the best of normal veneers without some of the drawbacks. Using a special porcelain called Cerinate, Lumineers are strong, lightweight and less than a quarter millimeter thick, in comparison to conventional veneers, which are more than one-half millimeter thick. That slim difference allows your Brooklyn cosmetic dentist to bond them straight to your teeth without removing any enamel.
Lumineers Before and After
Your Envy Smile Dental Spa specialist can help you get that special job or public appearance opportunity because of your smile. Lumineers correct many dental concerns, including:
Stained teeth from root canal treatments, antibiotic staining, excessive fluoride or large resin fillings
Worn down or small, misshapen teeth
Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
Misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped teeth that might have required orthodontics in the past
Odd spacing or gaps between your teeth
Old, worn-out dental work, since Lumineers can be placed on top of old crowns and bridgework
Using the patented, ultra-strong, ultra-thin porcelain, your Brooklyn cosmetic dentist digitally designs Lumineers to custom-fit your teeth. They’re also more translucent and have the same stain fighting properties of traditional veneers so they mimic your natural teeth beautifully. The application process is quick, easy and — since no tooth enamel is removed — painless.
