Lumineers® are a popular cosmetic dentistry option we offer at Cayucos Dental for those seeking to enhance their smile. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are ultra-thin, about the thickness of a contact lens, which makes their application a minimally invasive process. This aspect is particularly appealing because it typically requires no tooth reduction or anesthesia, making the procedure virtually pain-free.
Our process for fitting Lumineers begins with a thorough consultation. During this initial visit, our dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your aesthetic goals to ensure that Lumineers are the right choice for you. We then take precise impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a specialized lab where your custom Lumineers are crafted.
One of the greatest advantages of Lumineers is the simplicity of the application process. When your custom-made Lumineers are ready, they are carefully bonded to your existing teeth. This process is typically completed over two visits — the first for taking impressions and the second for applying the Lumineers. The procedure is straightforward and comfortable, with most patients experiencing no discomfort.
Lumineers are not only about enhancing the appearance of your smile; they also offer durability and longevity. With proper care, they can last for more than 20 years. They are also highly resistant to staining, which means your smile will stay brighter for longer, even if you regularly consume staining substances like coffee, tea or red wine.
