Cosmetic dentistry has developed significantly over the last 20 years with many techniques emerging which have yielded outstanding results.
Lumineers
They are very thin layers, approximately 0.1 – 0.5 mm, made of ceramic in a dental laboratory and are processed with certain standards determined by the Food and Drug Agency, the General Dental Association and the World Health Organization. Lumineers make a significant difference in the color and the overall shape of the teeth. Furthermore, Lumineers bridge the gaps between the teeth without having to be shaved. Additionally, they are pain-free, so there is no need to numb the patient at any stage of the procedure. Since Lumineers are made of ceramic, they maintain the bright color of the teeth with time.
Veneers
The veneer is a layer made of porcelain and placed over the tooth with approximately 0.5 – 2mm thickness. Veneers can improve the aesthetics of a smile and protect the tooth’s surface from damage.
Veneers can be used to correct several dental issues:
- Teeth that are stained and cannot be whitened by bleaching.
- Chipped or decayed teeth.
- Uneven spaces or large gaps between teeth.
- Crooked or misshapen teeth.
Some characteristics of the veneers and Lumineers:
- They create a bright, white, flawless and natural-looking smile.
- Gums also adapt well to veneers as they do not cause sensitivity to the gums.
- Stain resistant
- Protects the tooth structure
- Veneers need maintenance of good oral hygiene.
