Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers

Things You Should Know About Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers

Do you desire a more beautiful and eye-catching smile? Do you always find yourself having to hide chipped or misshapen tooth? Are your teeth stained or unevenly colored? Do your teeth have nasty and unsightly gaps? If you have a big, flat-out yes answer to all or any of the above questions, you may be an ideal candidate for porcelain dental veneers. Porcelain veneers, aside from being the best natural-looking option available, will help solve your teeth woes and give you a vastly improved smile.

Porcelain dental veneers, often shortened to dental veneers or simply veneers, are also commonly referred to by many as porcelain veneers or porcelain laminates. Veneers are made from porcelain material of either glass or ceramic and have a thickness of 0.3mm to 0.5mm. For a more visual and apt description, the thickness of a porcelain veneer is comparable to that of a contact lens or finger nail. This only means that having porcelain veneers would require that only a portion of your tooth be taken out instead of the entire crown.

With its very fine quality, light can easily pass through porcelain veneers to show off a natural-looking and very attractive set of teeth. Unlike it counterparts, porcelain veneers, as they are made from either glass or porcelain, are stain-resistant and will not cause the appearance of dark lines forming on crowns after a long period of time. Porcelain veneers are made to stay on your teeth with the use of cement or dental bonding glue. Once a porcelain veneer is attached, it stays strongly bonded to your teeth. Having porcelain veneers does not take much time as one can have an attractive and improved smile in as short as two visits to the dentist.

Lumineers, a popular brand of porcelain veneers are made from patented porcelain known as Cerinate. It is highly recommended for everyone and an excellent option to those whose teeth need very little improvement (i.e. slightly set back teeth, etc.) as there is hardly tooth reduction with Lumineers. Traditional veneers, on the other hand, are recommended for extreme makeovers where much repair is needed.
Undergoing a dental evaluation would help determine the ideal veneer type that would best suit an individual. An evaluation may even result to a combination of several types. Dr. Howe, an expert in Cosmetic Dentistry, with his artistic qualities, could assist in determining the solution that will be perfect for you.

Although porcelain veneers may seem to be the best option, there are other better ways to improve or achieve that winning smile. In addition to Dr. Howe's expertise on cosmetic procedures such as veneers, implants, teeth whitening, and orthodontics, INVISALIGN is now available that offers yet another solution to your dental needs. Dr. Howe is among the few Calgary dentists who can administer INVISALIGN. He is currently, for a limited engagement, giving complete sets of x-ray and full evaluation for the cost of a single dollar ($1.00). You’re not staring wide-eyed at a typo error. It is indeed $1.00 with no hidden costs and no strings attached.
