Dental vanity?
October 10, 2007
Fixing those teeth and whitening them are the latest rage in tooth care these days. Smile makeovers are the buzz these days. No longer do you have to be content with your teeth. Cosmetic dentists across the nation are changing smiles with various cosmetic dental treatments. Porcelain veneers have been the big buzz over the past few years. There are different types of porcelain but the veneer that’s getting a lot of publicity these days is Lumineers by Cerinate. Their porcelain is exclusively made at the Cerinate Smile Design Studios owned by Denmat Corporation. Their unique difference is they are applied to the patient without having to remove tooth structure as they can be made contact lens thin. This new dental procedure is a non invasive and can be reversed wheras traditional veneers cannot as tooth structure has to be removed. This is not in any way suggesting traditional porcelain veneers are not the answer to improving your smile. In fact most hollywood celebrities that have those perfect smiles have traditional porcelain veneers, there’s not question that the esthetic results is amazing. A few questions that come to mind with Lumineers are the limitations of their use. Its seems that only those that have fairly straight teeth qualify as in many cases tooth structure has to be removed to obtain an esthetic fit so that they look very natural. Time will tell with this new dental procedure. Information regarding the esthetic effectiveness and longevity will be more available as time moves on. For now, lumineers may be worth looking into for consumers that are unhappy with their smile.
