The main idea of the producer Lumineers company Den-Mat from Santa Marta in California is that they are stronger than many other types of veneers, so you can make thinner and set on the teeth without peeling.
But it should be noted that the thickness and strength of the material - this is not the main factor of long-term success.
Lumineers thinner traditional veneers: 0,3 mm
The most important factor is the quality of bonding - bonding the veneer to the tooth surface. It is also worth noting that even when the Lumineers require little to give the enamel surface roughness and enamel as well as in the fixation of traditional ceramic veneers requires etching acid.Installing Lumineers on the surface of the front teeth, the dentist goes to a compromise. Adding 0.3 mm to the surface of the tooth, the dentist makes them larger and look like the teeth are heavy.
Moreover, LUMINEERS technology requires extending teeth on the 1,5-2mm Rounded their edges to allow dentitions move freely relative to each other.
Installation of Lumineers painless
Another problem is that the installation of veneers without peeling leads to what appears on the edges a little a side - a line of transition Lumineers in the tooth and the line begins to accumulate plaque and food appears pigmentation. Or if the edge Lumineers overhangs have gum - very soon there is irritation and inflammation of the gums - gingivitis.Other chip set Lumineers dentists calling for - is something that can easily be removed if they cease to please patients. The point is not whether or not you can easily remove the restorations on anterior teeth, and to find a dentist who will produce the Lumineers veneers do not need to be replaced.
