Lumineer Differences

There are a lot of veneers out there
There is only one LUMINEERS by Cerinate.

Unlike conventional veneers, LUMINEERS™ made of patented Cerinate® porcelain, is the only veneer system backed by over 20 years of clinical success that allows you the option of no-prep placement. LUMINEERS do not require drilling down the natural tooth like competitors. We use Ultra Bond® resin cement and Tenure™ adhesives, which prevents cracking and crazing during finishing. The procedure is simple and cost effective, compared to traditional veneers.

LUMINEERS BY CERINATE Technique
 
BEFORE

Teeth are stained, slightly misshapen with spaces in-between. An impression is made and the mold is sent to the Cerinate Smile Design Studios where only LUMINEERS are crafted.

 
LUMINEERS VENEERS
NO PAINFUL TOOTH PREPARATION

On next dental visit, the dentist tries in LUMINEERS to ensure a good fit. Teeth are moderately etched to prepare for placement but there is no removal of sensitive tooth structure, unlike the painful part of traditional veneer techniques. The LUMINEERS are bonded to natural teeth and set in place with a curing light.

 
PAINFREE AFTER

In only 2 easy dental visits, your patient will have a permanently whiter and beautiful smile without shots, drilling, or pain.

TRADITIONAL VENEERS
Technique
BEFORE

Teeth appear stained and slightly misshapen. An impression is made
and sent to a lab.

 

TRADITIONAL VENEER
TOOTH PREPARATION

Anesthetic shots are given to numb the area and teeth are severely shaved away with a drill to accommodate the veneers.





 POTENTIALLY PAINFUL AFTER 

A better, but still flawed smile, as the procedure is not reversible like LUMINEERS because the original teeth have been shaved down causing your patient pain and discomfort immediately after the procedure.
