When considering a cosmetic procedure, it is important to
know the differences between certain products. If you are interested in
veneers, you are probably curious about the difference between traditional
porcelain laminates and Lumineers. Both are capable of repairing tooth
imperfections as well as straightening or lengthening teeth, but the two
veneer-types definitely have their differences.
Lumineers are thinner: Lumineers are about the size of a contact
lens and are thinner than traditional veneers for the purpose of more seamless placement
and a natural look.
Traditional veneers
are better for extreme dental work: Patients who need extreme cosmetic
work, such as the closing of large gaps of space between teeth, benefit more
from traditional veneers due to the fact that they thicker and more durable.
Lumineers are
minimally invasive: Since Lumineers are made of thinner porcelain, they
require less preparation to the natural tooth before the veneers are applied.
This also means that Lumineers do not require temporaries during the waiting
period while they’re being crafted.
Traditional veneers
are more flexible: The flexibility of traditional veneers allows them to be
easily molded to precisely fit the structure of an individual smile. Patients
looking for instant-orthodontic work would benefit from a traditional veneer’s
ability to form to their smile.
Lumineers are
removable: Unlike traditional veneers (which are permanent) Lumineers can
be removed and re-applied over time, giving patients more options concerning
the structure of their smile. Lumineers can also be placed quickly – usually in
just two dental appointments.
