A pleasant smile is the best asset to your personality. We all feel confident when we have a perfect set of teeth to flaunt. But what happens when you have stained, crooked or crowded teeth? You feel conscious of the way your teeth appears. And many of you might even control the way you smile to prevent others from seeing your “flawed” set of teeth.
Well, covering your face while smiling might work temporarily. But it certainly isn’t a permanent solution. Moreover, you deserve to feel confident about every aspect of yourself. It is for this reason that people opt for cosmetic dental treatments to fix their pearly whites. One of the common treatments people go for is the lumineers near you.
Why do people opt for lumineers?
Getting lumineers can be a corrective treatment for various dental conditions. Mostly people opt for lumineers if their teeth are
- Misaligned
- Fractured or broken
- Chipped or cracked
- Stained
- Small or misshapen
- Or has a lot of space in between.
They are also used to fix outdated dental work such as damaged veneers. Apart from these conditions there other dental cases as well, where restorative work may be required. Your dentist is in a better position to suggest a suitable treatment for you then.
How is the procedure done?
Lumineers are fixed to your teeth in two stages. In the first meeting, our dentist in North Edmonton will take the impression of your teeth, after which your lumineers will be constructed to match your teeth’s shape and desired color. When you return for your second appointment, your dentist will bond the porcelain pieces to your teeth. It is a painless process and doesn’t take a lot of time.
When it comes to the process, getting lumineers is just like getting dental veneers on your teeth. They are bonded to your natural teeth. The only difference between the two is that while fixing veneers your teeth needs to be shaved down before bonding whereas lumineers are thin and can be easily bonded to your teeth without any shaving. They are bonded to your teeth painlessly and are reversible in nature.
Post-bonding, you will have natural looking, perfectly straight white teeth. The lifespan of dental veneers is around 20 years. With lumineers on, you can eat and drink without any difficulty and you don’t have to worry about your lumineers falling off.
After the lumineers teeth procedure, it is important that you take care to ensure they last as long as possible. As part of the post-treatment routine, make sure you go for regular dental checkups and care for your lumineers just as you would for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss regularly and use a good mouthwash.
Cosmetic dentistry treatments require expertise, experience, and personalized care. And our dentists are experts in the field. If you are looking for a premium dental clinic to get lumineers, then reach out to us at earliest.
