Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers
When you look in the mirror, do you see a smile marred by stains, chips, gaps, or other imperfections? A flawed smile can drag down your appearance and diminish your confidence. You may shy away from social situations or not go after that promotion that you deserve. Dr. Imrek can help. He applies porcelain veneers and Lumineers to transform flaws and redefine smiles.
What are porcelain veneers and Lumineers?
Porcelain veneers and Lumineers are ultra-thin coverings applied to teeth to erase flaws in shape, size, and color. They can correct a variety of imperfections, including gaps, stains, slightly crooked teeth, and teeth that are worn or misshapen. Dr. Imrek uses da Vinci Veneers and Lumineers by Den-Mat, two of the leading brands of veneers available today.
Which type is right for me?
That depends on your smile, your expectations, and other factors that Dr. Imrek will assess. Porcelain veneers are a completely custom solution handcrafted by ceramic artists at a dental lab. They require some enamel removal prior to placement and are permanently bonded to teeth. Lumineers require little or no tooth preparation, and Dr. Imrek can remove them if you ever want to return to your natural smile. No-prep restorations also reduce the risk of tooth sensitivity.
Do porcelain veneers and Lumineers look natural? Will they last?
Both da Vinci porcelain veneers and Lumineers look and feel natural. No one will know that you have them, but they will notice your beautiful smile. Because da Vinci porcelain veneers are permanently bonded to teeth, they may last a lifetime. Lumineers are proven to last 20 years or longer. Both types of veneers resist staining, so your smile will stay beautiful throughout the life of the veneer.
How do I decide?
Dr. Imrek will examine your teeth and discuss your goals for your smile, then help you choose between porcelain da Vinci Veneers or Lumineers. Some patients prefer the completely custom solution provided by handcrafted da Vinci veneers, while other opt for reversible, no-prep Lumineers. Your expectations and lifestyle will help determine which ones are right for you.
