What Are Lumineers?

Lumineers are ultra-thin dental veneers made of a patented porcelain that mimics the appearance of natural teeth. They’re about as thin as a contact lens (around 0.2mm), allowing for a nearly pain-free application without extensive enamel removal. This is a significant benefit over traditional veneers, which often require more preparation and reshaping of your natural teeth. 

Why Choose Lumineers Over Traditional Veneers?

Lumineers are an appealing choice for many due to their ease of application and stunning results. Here’s what makes them unique:

• No Drilling or Pain: Lumineers require little to no drilling, meaning you can achieve your dream smile without the discomfort often associated with traditional veneers. The process of getting Lumineers is as easy as signing up for a simple procedure.
• Reversible: If you decide you want a different option later, Lumineers are removable. This flexibility makes them ideal if you want an option that doesn’t permanently alter your teeth.
• Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, Lumineers can last over 20 years, giving you a lasting, radiant smile.

Who Can Benefit from Lumineers?

Lumineers are versatile and ideal for addressing various dental concerns, including:

• Discolored or Stained Teeth: Ideal for teeth that haven’t responded well to whitening treatments.
• Chipped or Worn Teeth: The thin porcelain layer of Lumineers restores your smile and provides added strength.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Lumineers can close small gaps without the need for braces.
• Slightly Crooked Teeth: Lumineers can improve the appearance of mildly misaligned teeth for a more uniform smile.

The Lumineers Process at Smile Creator 

At Smile Creator, Dr. Kosinski creates beautiful smiles with Lumineers. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Kosinski will assess your smile and discuss your goals. He’ll examine your teeth and gums to ensure Lumineers are right for you.
2. Custom Design: Once you’re ready to move forward, impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom Lumineers that will perfectly match your smile’s shape, color, and contour.
3. Application: When your Lumineers are ready, they’ll be bonded to the front of your teeth. The process is straightforward, painless, and requires no anesthesia. You’ll leave the office with a brand-new smile.
4. Aftercare: Caring for Lumineers is as simple as brushing and flossing your teeth daily. Dr. Kosinski will give you tips on maintaining your Lumineers so they last as long as possible.

Lumineers Aftercare

Once you’ve completed your Lumineers treatment, you’ll want to make sure you take proper care of them to ensure they last for many years.

• Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Just like your natural teeth, Lumineers need regular brushing and flossing to stay clean and free from plaque. Make sure to brush twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Maintaining good oral hygiene will ensure your smile looks great in all your photo albums.
• Be Mindful of What You Eat: While Lumineers are resistant to stains, it’s still a good idea to avoid foods and drinks that can cause discoloration over time, such as coffee, tea, or red wine. Additionally, try to avoid chewing on hard items like ice, pens, or hard candy, as this can cause your Lumineers to crack or chip.
• Wear a Night Guard if Necessary: If you grind your teeth at night (bruxism), it’s important to wear a night guard. Grinding can put pressure on your Lumineers, leading to wear or even damage. Talk to Dr. Kosinski about getting a custom night guard to protect your investment.
• Visit Dr. Kosinski for Regular Check-ups: Even though Lumineers are incredibly durable, regular check-ups with your dentist are still necessary. Dr. Kosinski will ensure your Lumineers are in great shape and monitor the health of your teeth and gums. These visits also allow you to catch any potential issues early, before they become major problems.
• Avoid Staining Products: To keep your Lumineers looking their best, try to avoid smoking or using tobacco products, as they can cause staining over time. If you do consume food or beverages that stain, be sure to brush your teeth soon afterward to prevent discoloration.
• Be Patient with Your New Smile: After your Lumineers are placed, it’s normal to experience some mild sensitivity, especially to hot or cold temperatures, for a few days. This will subside as your mouth adjusts to the new veneers.

How Much Do Lumineers Cost?

While Lumineers can be an investment, their lasting durability makes them a cost-effective option for many patients. The cost will vary based on individual needs, the number of teeth being treated, and other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Kosinski will provide a personalized cost estimate so you can make the best decision for your budget.
