What are Lumineers and how can they help your problem. By a Bootle dentist

We all get teeth problems in our lifetime; no matter how well we look after our teeth says a Bootle dentist. Many of these problems are caused by circumstances beyond our control, and are often expensive to fix. Having teeth problems knocks our confidence and makes us conscious of the problem when speaking to people. Let’s look at some of the most common; discoloured teeth, chipped, cracked and misaligned teeth. The good news is that all these problems can be fixed with a Lumineer, but how? Well, a Lumineer is a veneer and we all know what a veneer is don`t we? This innovative type is fairly new and it really is a revolution in modern day dentistry. Made from a specially designed formula, it is tougher than a conventional veneer and so it comes in a much thinner format. It can be fitted in less than an hour and you can even have more than one at a time. There is no need in most cases for an anaesthetic as there is no need to shave the tooth before fitting, as is the case with normal veneers. Tests have shown they can last up to 20 years, and if a better method comes along in the future, then the Lumineer is simply removed to allow work on the tooth. With a normal veneer, once the tooth is shaved to accept the veneer it can only ever have a new veneer fitted back on. The price of a Lumineer is also better than a veneer as not so much work is needed.
