Do you have severely stained teeth? Do you have gaps between your teeth that make you feel ashamed and embarrassed to smile or laugh? If so, Dr. Thomas Hedge can help you decide whether porcelain veneers or Lumineers are the best cosmetic dental solution for you! No matter which service you choose, you can absolutely look forward to an exquisite smile that will take your breath away—that we can guarantee!
Fix your dental problems with veneers or Lumineers
There are some differences when it comes to veneers and Lumineers (sometimes called Cerinate Lumineers), but one aspect that remains the same is the gamut of dental problems they can solve. For instance, both porcelain veneers and Lumineers can fix:
- Gapped teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Broken teeth
- Severely discolored or stained teeth
- Slightly misaligned or crooked teeth
- Irregularly-shaped teeth (too long or too short)
So no matter which of these problems you suffer from, our two cosmetic dentistry services can solve them! There are certain circumstances in which Dr. Hedge may recommend veneers versus Lumineers, or vice versa, but that will depend on your specific case. Dr. Hedge is an advocate for both procedures since he knows, first-hand, exactly what type of results that each service gives—flawless, natural-looking, and healthy teeth!
So what are the differences between porcelain veneers and Lumineers?
Well, now that you know which types of problems can be fixed by Lumineers and dental veneers, it comes down to the differences between the two, and there are several, including:
- Lumineers are made from a thinner porcelain material compared to traditional porcelain veneers.
- Since Lumineers are thinner, they have the potential to not last as long as veneers, even though this depends highly on your at-home oral regime or lifestyle habits.
- Porcelain veneers may require minor adaptations to your natural tooth, whereas Lumineers may require none. This is heavily dependent on each patient’s case, though.
- Sometimes Lumineers can cost a little bit less than porcelain veneers, but this is dependent on how many veneers or Lumineers you need to create a flawless smile.
- Lumineers is a reversible cosmetic dentistry service, which means, if a patient decides to do so, he or she may request for the dentist to remove the Lumineers (to expose his or her natural teeth once again).
Benefits of porcelain veneers and Lumineers
Dr. Thomas Hedge offers both porcelain veneers and Lumineers at his Cincinnati dental office. Most patients are candidates for either type of service, however, Dr. Hedge will still evaluate your situation, and current and past health history to ensure that you are. Both options allow you to reap the benefits of an incredible cosmetic dentistry procedure. Such benefits of veneers and Lumineers include:
- Increased self-esteem and self-confidence
- Healthy teeth and gums for an incredible, natural-looking smile
- Long-lasting results up to 20 years after placement
- Stain-resistant because of the porcelain material that is used
- No shots, drilling, or anesthesia required to perform the Lumineers or porcelain veneers procedure
- Quick and easy procedure, which means you can get results within 72 hours
