Lumineers

Lumineers are a popular veneer option because they are a "minimal preparation" or "no-preparation" procedure that is attractive to both dentists and patients who benefit from the concept of tooth preservation. This technique is best used with patients who have spacing in their smile and only minor tooth rotations. Sonoma Smiles employs conservative bonding techniques in which we only remove enough surface enamel to allow our ceramist to make beautiful, life-like teeth for our patients. Often Lumineers do not require the dentist to grind, cut or file down any tooth structure for proper placement. The veneers are adhesively bonded to the "facial (front) surface" of the teeth, making the process as minimally invasive as possible.

Traditional veneer procedures require injection of a local anesthetic, but this is not necessary with Lumineers or other minimal or no preparation veneers. They require no shots, no drilling of sensitive tooth structure, and no pain. Additionally Lumineers can be placed all at once instead of individually which means less time for you in the dentist chair.

With Lumineers you get:

• A painless procedure
• Sensitivity-free results
• Permanently white results that last
• A quick and easy process

Your Lumineers can be installed in two easy visits to bring out a beautiful new smile. During the first visit a precision custom mold will be taken so that personalized veneers can be created, then you and Dr. Sutton will choose the shade you think works best for your new, permanently white smile. On your second visit, your Lumineers are checked for fit and shade then painlessly attached giving you a healthy, natural smile that you have always dreamed of.
