HOW CAN LUMINEERS ENHANCE OR IMPROVE YOUR
SMILE?

Your smile is one of the first things a person notices about you, and showing those pearly whites is a sign of friendliness.
![Page 4: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Yet, there may be many reasons why you are hiding your smile.
![Page 5: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The following can all affect the aesthetics of your smile.
Crooked teeth Stained teeth Gapped teeth

Fortunately, Lumineers can provide a non-invasive way to transform the appearance of your teeth so that you can smile with confidence.
![Page 7: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHAT ARE LUMINEERS?
![Page 8: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lumineers are made from high-quality porcelain that can be contoured to an ultra-thin shell that is placed on your teeth to correct cosmetic flaws.
![Page 9: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Once Lumineers are shaped to fit your actual teeth, they are less than 0.3 millimeters thick, which is thinner than a contact lens.
![Page 10: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This allows for the most natural appearance possible out of all the types of veneers that are available.
![Page 11: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Due to the durability of Lumineers, you can continue to eat, chew and talk with them as normal while expecting them to last for 20 years or more.
![Page 12: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WHAT TYPES OF PROBLEMS DO THEY CORRECT?
![Page 13: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The ideal candidate for Lumineers has healthy teeth that have cosmetic flaws that affect their appearance.
![Page 14: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Lumineers are perfect for covering chipped or crooked teeth, gaps and surface stains that resist whitening procedures.
![Page 15: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Teeth that have become worn from chewing and grinding are also perfectly restored with Lumineers.
![Page 16: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM TRADITIONAL VENEERS?
![Page 17: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Traditional veneers can achieve many of the same effects; however, they tend to be thicker and less resilient to wear.
![Page 18: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Most importantly, traditional veneers require some removal of the top layer of the teeth.
![Page 19: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Once this enamel is removed, it cannot grow back so traditional veneers must be approached with the understanding that they are permanent.
![Page 20: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lumineers are thinner and usually require no enamel removal, which makes it less invasive for patients.
![Page 21: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
In fact, most will require no anesthesia and post-recovery discomfort is minimal.
![Page 22: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IS THE PROCEDURE REVERSIBLE?
![Page 23: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In most cases, Lumineers are reversible because it is not necessary to reduce the tooth structure for placement.
![Page 24: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
However, most patients are so happy with their new smile that they keep their Lumineers for a lifetime.
![Page 25: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
HOW ARE THEY APPLIED?
![Page 26: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Once you have decided that Lumineers are right for you, the application process will consist of two appointments.
![Page 27: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
During your first appointment, you and your dentist will decide which teeth need Lumineers to improve their appearance and what shade of white will best fit your features.
![Page 28: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Next, you will have a mold taken of your teeth that will be sent to a laboratory.
![Page 29: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
During the time between your appointments, you will not require any temporary replacements as you would with traditional veneers because no part of your teeth needs to be removed.
![Page 30: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
After your Lumineers come back from the lab, they will be placed on your teeth using special cement with no drilling or painful shots.
![Page 31: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You can expect the placement appointment to last for approximately one hour depending upon how many teeth you are having restored.
![Page 32: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Following the application of Lumineers, you will be able to enjoy looking in the mirror again and smiling with confidence.
![Page 33: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Similar to natural teeth, you will still need to maintain your oral hygiene routine.
![Page 34: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Brush and floss daily, and remember to visit your dentist every six months for a routine check up.
![Page 35: How Can Lumineers Enhance Or Improve Your Smile](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c51/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Then, go ahead and flash those pearly whites while knowing that your smile gives the best impression.
