Lumineers®
Just because you weren’t born with a dazzling smile doesn’t mean you can’t have one. A 100 megawatt smile can open doors and create opportunities that can make the difference between a ho-hum job and a lifelong adventure.
Lumineers - high quality porcelain veneers that turn dingy, tired looking teeth into award winners in just 2 visits, are a specialty of top Encino cosmetic dentist, Dr. Shawn Matian. As a certified and preferred provider of this revolutionary technology, he has helped scores of people gain the self confidence necessary to go after their goals with enthusiasm.
What are Lumineers?
Lumineers are ultra thin, patented porcelain veneers that do not require the natural teeth to be ground down. These stunning veneers are reversible, since the natural teeth are not drilled or subjected to abrasive materials to prepare for the permanent attachment of veneers.
Benefits of Lumineers
Dr. Matian has many patients who want to have a stunning and permanently white smile without the pain and stress of shots and tooth drilling. Lumineers are ultra thin (0.2 mm) porcelain veneers that fit over the natural teeth with very little to no tooth reduction.
They are very strong and typically last for over 20 years. They are translucent which allows them to take on the aesthetic aspects of natural tooth enamel. Because of their thin profile, there is no discomfort following placement making them comfortable from the moment they are bonded to your teeth.
Should it become necessary, Lumineers can be reversed unlike traditional veneers that require significant tooth reduction and preparation. Lumineers are painless and provide Dr. Matian’s patients with dazzling smiles that don’t hold them back from going after lifelong goals.
Am I a candidate for Lumineers?
Not everyone is a good candidate for Lumineers. Some of Dr. Matian’s patients will require traditional veneers due to the need to correct the bite, or because there are alignment issues.
If the teeth are relatively straight but require permanent whitening and some re-shaping, Lumineers are the perfect solution. People who do not want to fully commit to the permanent alteration of their natural teeth are great candidates for Lumineers since the process is reversible.
Patients who do not wish to undergo the shaving and drilling necessary to prepare the teeth for traditional porcelain veneers can look to Lumineers for a solution to improving their smile.
Lumineers Encino – The Procedure
Dazzling smiles like those sported by Tom Cruise and Carmen Diaz can be yours in two office visits. Patients seeking among the best Lumineers Los Angeles can provide need only to book 2 office visits with Dr. Matian.
On the 1st visit, Dr. Matian will take an impression of your teeth to create the mold that the laboratory will use to create the custom veneers that will give you that youthful, dazzling smile. He will also take photos and examine your bite to ensure the best possible outcome. There will be no need to shave or drill your teeth to prepare for the Lumineers; also, there will be no need for temporary veneers since your natural teeth will remain untouched.
The 2nd visit is the exciting culmination of your Lumineers journey. Dr. Matian will place your Lumineers after he ensures they are a perfect fit. If there is any slightest flaw, he will send them back to the laboratory for adjustment. This is why he has a reputation for providing among the best Lumineers Los Angeles can provide.
Your teeth may be slightly etched to ensure the bond on each tooth is strong and that they will resist everyday use. The bite will be meticulously checked to make sure the teeth will not chip or be stressed from any imbalance.
After Dr. Matian is satisfied that you have an outstanding smile, he will permanently bond your Lumineers to your natural teeth. After that, it’s up to you to dazzle your family and friends with your refreshed, whitened smile.
