Porcelain veneers are ultra thin shells made of high grade porcelain. These shells, which are bonded onto the front surface of teeth, are a clean, efficient and non-invasive way to improve the color and appearance of stained, chipped, misaligned, or crooked teeth. Veneers are effective even where there are unsightly gaps between teeth.

Porcelain is the advanced technological material to produce high strength veneers and is more expensive than the conventional composite material, as well. But in the long run, porcelain veneers turn out to be more cost effective and efficient because of their extended life and superior aesthetics. They look and feel almost like natural teeth, and do not require any special maintenance except basic dental precautions and cleaning.

Lumineers by Cerinate

Porcelain technology for dental veneers has advanced immensely over the years. One of the latest forms of porcelain veneers is known as “Lumineers.’ This is an exceptionally good cosmetic answer to stubborn stains, chips, discolorations, gaps, and misalignments of the teeth. They can even be used to rejuvenate an old crown and bridgework.

Lumineers are made of patented Cerinate porcelain technology. This technology is owned by the Cerinate Smile Design Studios, belonging to Den-Mat Corp. The porcelain used in these dental veneers is of a very high grade and can easily last up to two decades. Therefore, it is a one-time investment that continues to deliver benefits long after it has been made.

Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
