Mistie Before Treatment
by Dr. Williams
After Lumineers Cerinate Porcelain Veneers and WaterLase Gingival Contouring

Notice the spaces and the short, Tetracycline stained teeth plus the old dull composite bonding that has filled the space between the front teeth Now notice the longer, more naturally proportioned teeth after WaterLase Gingival Recontouring. This is called crown lengthening by dentists.
Notice that the lip line when Mistie smiles does not cover the teeth and is uneven from left to right. A beautiful smile needs symmetry, thus the suggestion is made to do both the Lumineers and Laser Recontouring. Mistie always wanted white teeth with no spaces and now she has just that!

Ask if you are a candidate for NO-PREP Lumineers by Cerinate! 

LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is a terrific cosmetic solution for permanently stained, chipped, discolored, misaligned teeth, or even to revitalize old crown and bridgework. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is a porcelain veneer that can be made as thin as a contact lens and is placed over existing teeth without requiring painful removal of sensitive tooth structure (unlike traditional veneers.)

LUMINEERS can only be made from patented Cerinate porcelain. This revolutionary porcelain is crafted through a proprietary process unavailable anywhere other than the Cerinate Smile Design Studios owned by Den-Mat Corporation. In just two or three visits to the dentist, LUMINEERS provides a custom-made smile clinically proven to last up to 20 years.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lumineers

Q:

How is LUMINEERS ™ BY CERINATE® different than traditional veneer procedures?

A:

LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is unique in that it is contact lens-thin (approximately .2 mm) and super translucent. Traditional veneers are fused or bonded to teeth, and generally your dentist will need to grind down the tooth for a good fit. Since LUMINEERS is so thin, little to no tooth reduction is necessary. In addition, LUMINEERS resists micro-leakage and micro-cracking.

Q:

Is there any other LUMINEERS?

A:

No. LUMINEERS can only be made from Cerinate porcelain. This revolutionary porcelain is crafted through a proprietary process unavailable anywhere other than Den-Mat Corporation, one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of professional dental materials. Be sure to ask your dentist that he/she is using LUMINEERS BY CERINATE with the certified placement method.

Q:

I’ve heard that a veneer procedure hurts? Is that true with LUMINEERS?

A:

It’s true that because most veneer procedures require a substantial amount of tooth structure removal, that there is pain and discomfort involved. LUMINEERS is completely different because there is no need for grinding, cutting or filing of teeth in almost all cases. Consequently, no anesthetic or numbing shots are needed. Plus, no uncomfortable temporaries are required while you wait for your LUMINEERS to be created. Once the procedure is completed, there is no post-placement discomfort or sensitivity, which means they will look natural and feel comfortable from the start.

Q:

I think I need braces, but I really don't want to go through the inconvenient, unsightly and time-intensive process. Can I get LUMINEERS instead?

A:

In most cases, yes. Your dentist will be able to evaluate your teeth and decide whether orthodontics is necessary. If you do not have a severe problem, LUMINEERS will change the shape and alignment of teeth, making them look straighter and more uniform.

Q:

How long will LUMINEERS last?

A:

LUMINEERS has unparalleled longevity. Clinical testing has proven that a LUMINEERS procedure lasts and looks great for up to 20 years. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE also offers a 5-year Warranty and are replaced at no charge, ask your dentist for details as certain restrictions do apply.

Q:

Can LUMINEERS be taken off if I want them removed?

A:

Yes, LUMINEERS are potentially reversible. This is largely due to the fact that in many cases there is no reduction in sensitive tooth structure so that your natural teeth are still in tact and strong.

Q:

With LUMINEERS, do I need to use a special toothpaste or floss a different way?

A:

LUMINEERS is similar in structure to real tooth enamel. Consequently, you should always try to choose a low-abrasion toothpaste that will remove plaque, stain and tartar gently but effectively.

Q:

With LUMINEERS, can I still chew gum and eat my favorite sticky foods like corn or candy?

A:

There are no limitations to what you can eat or drink as LUMINEERS are placed over original teeth in the most durable way possible. However you should continue to visit your dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning to keep your LUMINEERS in good condition and to qualify for the Warranty.

Q:

Why have I never heard of LUMINEERS before?

A:
More than 5,000 dentists nationwide use LUMINEERS BY CERINATE and we continue to educate the dental community on this new procedure. Recently, a national advertising campaign has been launched to educate consumers about this noninvasive technique.
