Lumineers · Top Rated Cosmetic Dentist in Brooklyn · Dr. Dekhtyar

Information is out of date

You may have heard of veneers for your teeth. Brooklyn dentists have used them for years to correct many cosmetic dental issues. Lumineers are the next evolution of veneers. Ultrathin at less than a quarter of a millimeter, these slender porcelain coverings offer the benefits of normal veneers while eliminating some of the drawbacks.

Traditional veneers require removing some of your tooth enamel to provide room for their placement. The removal of the enamel makes the procedure irreversible and can cause sensitivity to hot and cold foods and liquids. Lumineers use a special porcelain called Cerinate. This special porcelain is very strong and lightweight, so instead of the normal half-millimeter or more of space needed for veneer placement, Lumineers are much thinner, so your dentist in Brooklyn, NY doesn’t have to remove any enamel.

Lumineers address most of the same dental concerns traditional veneers resolve. And when you check your Lumineers before and after, you’ll notice the significant difference they make. With Lumineers, you can expect to:

- Whiten and brighten discolored teeth from root canal treatments, antibiotic staining, excessive fluoride, aging or large resin fillings

- Reshape worn down or small, misshapen teeth

- Repair or cover chipped, cracked or broken teeth

- Straighten misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped teeth as an alternative to orthodontics

- Eliminate the spacing and gaping between teeth

- Renew old dental work, as Lumineers can be placed on top of old crowns and bridgework

Because Lumineers don’t require any drilling or cutting of your tooth enamel, you experience no pain or needles. And you don’t need temporary veneers while the lab constructs your personalized Lumineers. They take less time to make, but have the same stain-fighting properties as traditional veneers. Thinner, stronger and more translucent than traditional veneers, Lumineers better mimic natural teeth.

Your Brooklyn dentist can fit your new Lumineers often in two visits. The first hour-long visit is the consultation visit when your dentist:

- Helps you determine what you hope your smile to look like

- Makes impressions of your teeth and jaw

- Takes photos — and possibly X-rays — of your teeth and jaw

- Sends all this information to the lab to construct your custom-made veneers

The second hour-long visit consists of fitting and bonding your Lumineers to your teeth. Your dentist in Brooklyn, NY makes some moderate etching in your teeth to ensure a strong bond. After your Lumineers are placed, the dentist checks your bite. You and your dentist compare your Lumineers before and after photos to make sure you’re satisfied. You may require a follow-up to make sure the bonds are holding and your gums remain healthy.
