Lumineers & Veneers
Get the Facts on Lumineers and Veneers
Are you dissatisfied with the color of your teeth? Perhaps you have a lot of staining, or maybe your teeth are starting to crack or chip. If any of these describe you, Lumineers and veneers could be an excellent solution to restore your smile. The team at Laughlin Dental specializes in cosmetic dentistry procedures such as these, and we’d be happy to sit down with you and discuss your options.
What Are Veneers?
In short, veneers are natural-looking coatings for your teeth. They’re thin shells we place over the top of your existing teeth to mimic the aesthetic of the tooth’s surface. Veneers are particularly sought after for their resistance to further staining, so you won’t need to worry about that extra cup of coffee in the morning. While veneers aren’t a restorative solution, they can cover up breaks and cracks in the teeth and make misshapen teeth appear to have a more natural form. However, it’s crucial to remember veneers are permanent. Once we cement them into place, the team at Laughlin Dental cannot remove them again.
Laughlin Dental Explains Lumineers
Many of our patients already have an understanding of veneers, but they may not have heard of Lumineers. Although Lumineers are a brand of traditional veneers, they do come with several distinctions. The main benefit of choosing Lumineers over veneers is a quicker process from start to finish. Patients getting Lumineers instead of traditional veneers won’t need to go through as much of the preparation process, and there’s no teeth grinding involved. Also in contrast to veneers, Lumineers are semi-permanent, meaning they can be removed without significant damage to your teeth.
How Can I Benefit from this Cosmetic Solution?
Lumineers and veneers come with similar benefits, the most significant being increased confidence in your appearance. If discolored teeth have zapped your self-esteem, these cosmetic solutions present an excellent remedy. Chipped or cracked teeth are no match for veneers, and even misshapen teeth won’t be an issue any longer. However, Lumineers and veneers aren’t necessarily interchangeable. Discuss your cosmetic options with the team at Laughlin Dental. The staff at our Pasadena, TX office will be happy to explain the pros and cons of each option and determine if you’re a good candidate.
