LUMINEERS ®—Porcelain veneers that do not require removal of painful tooth structure.

Lumineers is a terrific cosmetic solution for permanently stained, chipped, discolored, misaligned teeth, or even to revitalize old crown and bridgework. Lumineers are porcelain veneers 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 over 20 years.

New Lumineers technology makes painful veneers unnecessary.

Lumineers is painless because they don’t require painful removal of sensitive tooth structure. Dentists apply these contact lens-thin “smile shapers” to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. Lumineers can even be placed on porcelain bridgework and crowns with the new Revitalize™ Kit available to your dentist. Lumineers is the best of both worlds—ultra-thin, yet super strong for a radiant smile that resists any cracking, which can damage restorations. Lumineers are completely reversible. Get your perfect smile today!

LUMINEERS BY CERINATE Technique BEFORE Teeth are stained, slightly misshapen with spaces in between. The dentist makes an impression and the mold is sent to the Cerinate Smile Design Studio where only LUMINEERS are crafted.		TRADITIONAL VENEERS Technique BEFORE Teeth appear stained and slightly misshapen. An impression is made and sent to a lab.
LUMINEERS VENEERS - NO PAINFUL TEETH PREPARATION On next dental visit, your dentist tries in your LUMINEERS to ensure a good fit. Teeth are moderately etched to prepare for placement but there is no removal of sensitive tooth structure, the painful part of traditional veneer techniques. The LUMINEERS are bonded to your natural teeth and set in place with a dental adhesive activated by a curing light.		TRADITIONAL VENEERS - PAINFUL TEETH PREPARATION Anesthetic shots are given to numb the area and teeth are severely shaved away with a drill to accommodate the veneers.
PAINFREE AFTER In only 2 easy dental visits, you will have a permanently whiter and beautiful smile without shots, drills or pain.		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 pain and discomfort immediately after the procedure.
