I’m thinking about getting Lumineers. I’ve seen them advertised and they always look great. Are they too good to be true? I’m wondering if there is anything I should know prior to making an appointment.<\/p>\n

Dear Becky,
\nYou made a smart choice by asking about Lumineers. Before you commit to the procedure, keep these four pieces of information in mind.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “Lumineers” is a general concept that has been given a branded name.<\/strong> To give you the back story, DenMat is the company that makes Lumineers and claims to be the first to create these veneers. While some may argue this, they were certainly the first to market the product well. But, there are dozens of companies that now make these veneers, some of which are labs which do not use any kind of branded trade name.<\/li>\n
  2. The thin veneers may or may not be the right option for you.  <\/strong>One of the main advantages to these veneers is that they are able to be placed with a little adjustment to your tooth’s natural structure. However, sometimes the veneers are not thick enough to make an even smile, while other times, they’re too thick and awkward. Be sure to speak to a cosmetic dentist<\/a> to see what will best fit your needs.<\/li>\n
  3. A dentist’s skills are more important than the brand<\/strong>. Not only did the company that makes Lumineers market to patients, but they also marketed to general dentists, as a way to include cosmetic dentistry in their practice. This is a great feature for those dentists naturally gifted in aesthetics but gives false confidence to those who are not. The majority of dentists need extensive training to produce cosmetically beautiful results, but many may elect to pass on this training. This results in the use of this method without the proper training, yielding bulky teeth that do not look natural.<\/li>\n
  4. Searching for a skilled cosmetic dentist will get better results than searching for a procedure. <\/strong>Like any profession, dentists have different strengths and weaknesses. Some are skilled more for crown<\/a>s and oral surgery, while you should see different dentists for overcoming dental fear or to get a smile makeover. For the best results, search for a dentist who has devoted a great deal of time to become a skilled cosmetic dentist. Check the doctor’s credentials and extra training. Look at his or her smile gallery. Read reviews.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Best of luck to you!<\/p>\n
