  LUMINEERS

  Lumineers have similar functions as contact lenses for your eyes.  They act as a jacket for your tooth.

   

  BENEFITS

  - Correct small chips or cracks

  - Can help even out teeth

  - Perform and feel like natural teeth

  - Closer minor gaps / spaces

  - Hide stains and discoloration on teeth

  - No structural damage to your natural teeth

  - Can last over 20 years

  - More stain resistant than veneers

   

  THE PROCESS: 2 VISITS

   

  1. First visit: Your dentist will take a mold of the tooth or teeth that will be getting the Lumineers.  A proper shade will be chosen to match your surrounding teeth.  This mold will then be sent to a lab who will create the Lumineers.
  
  

  2. Second visit: During this visit, your dentist will check the Lumineers to make sure they properly fit on the tooth/teeth and then adhered to the surface of the teeth.

  
  Lumineers are an easy, painless, and fast way to enhance your smile quickly.

  VENEERS

  Compared to Lumineers, Veneers is a whole front jacket on your tooth (as seen in image above).  It is capable of covering up minor cracks and damages on your teeth.  Like Lumineers, it can also hide stained/discolored teeth.

   

  BENEFITS

  - Quick way to make teeth look straight

  - Closer minor gaps / spaces

  - Hide stains and discoloration on teeth

  - Cover chipped teeth

  - Fix bite problems

  - Can last, on average, 5-12 years.

  - In some cases as long as 20+ years.

  - Strong enough to withstand flossing and brushing.

   

  THE PROCESS: 2-3 VISITS

   

  1. First visit:  Your dentist will take a mold of the tooth or teeth where the veneer will be placed.  The model will be used to create a temporary set of plastic veneers that you can wear up to 2 weeks to see how you like it.
  
  

  If you like the look and feel of the veneers, your dentist will take note of the specifications and send the information to the lab.  Lab technicians will put together the final veneers using the mold of your teeth.

   

  2. Second visit: Before the veneer is placed on your tooth, the dentist has to reduce some of the surface of your tooth (1mm or less).  This process is called a reduction and often requires local anesthetic.  Then the veneer is placed over the tooth

  CROWNS

  Dental crowns provide full tooth protection and coverage.

   

  BENEFITS

   

  - Protect and restore broken/cracked teeth

  - Cover and protect a tooth that went through a root canal.

   

  THE PROCESS:  2 VISITS

   

  1. First visit:  The first appointment prepares the tooth.  To ensure that the crown can fit in securely and comfortably, the tooth is filed and reshaped.   Local anesthetic is used for this procedure.

   

  An impression (or mold) of your teeth and gums are made with a paste and then sent to a lab.  The lab technicians will then put together your crown (takes 2-3 weeks).  Until the crown is ready, you will be given a temporary crown.

   

  2. Second visit: At the second appointment, your permanent crown is checked to make sure that the fit and shade is correct.  Your dentist will them remove the temporary crown  and cement the permanent crown onto your tooth.

   

  BRIDGES

  A dental bridge is basically its name, a bridge that bridges the gap by missing teeth.  It is made of two or more crowns that surrounds the tooth that will replace the gap.  The outside teeth surrounding the area around the gap is called an abutment.  The tooth in the middle that will cover the gap is a false tooth.

   

  BENEFITS

   

  - Replace missing teeth

  - Help keep teeth in position

  - Fix your smile

  - Can last 15+ years.

   

  THE PROCESS:  2 VISITS

   

  1. First visit:  The teeth that surrounds the space (also known as abutment teeth), where the missing tooth is are prepared.  The preparation consists of removing some of the enamel to provide room for the crown to fit over it.  Impressions are than taken of the tooth to serve as a model where the bridge, pontic, and crowns will be created in a lab.  In the meantime, your dentist will make a temporary bridge for you to wear while the lab makes the permanent bridge.

   

  2. Second visit: During this visit, your temporary bridge will be taken out and the new bridge will be placed to check the fit.  Depending on the fit of the framework and bite, multiple visits may be required.
