Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: How is LUMINEERS ? BY CERINATE? different
than traditional veneer procedures?
A: LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is unique in that it
is contact lens-thin (approximately .2 mm)
and super translucent. Traditional veneers
are fused or bonded to teeth, and generally
your dentist will need to grind down the tooth
for a good fit. Since LUMINEERS is so thin,
little to no tooth reduction is necessary.
In addition, LUMINEERS resists micro-leakage
and micro-cracking.
Q: Is there
any other LUMINEERS?
A: No. LUMINEERS can only be made from Cerinate
porcelain. This revolutionary porcelain is
crafted through a proprietary process unavailable
anywhere other than Den-Mat Corporation, one
of the nation’s largest manufacturers of professional
dental materials. Be sure to ask your dentist
that he/she is using LUMINEERS BY CERINATE
with the certified placement method.
Q: I’ve heard
that a veneer procedure hurts? Is that true
with LUMINEERS?
A: It’s true that because most veneer procedures
require a substantial amount of tooth structure
removal, that there is pain and discomfort
involved. LUMINEERS is completely different
because there is no need for grinding, cutting
or filing of teeth in almost all cases. Consequently,
no anesthetic or numbing shots are needed.
Plus, no uncomfortable temporaries are required
while you wait for your LUMINEERS to be created.
Once the procedure is completed, there is
no post-placement discomfort or sensitivity,
which means they will look natural and feel
comfortable from the start.
Q: I think I
need braces, but I really don't want to go
through the inconvenient, unsightly and time-intensive
process. Can I get LUMINEERS instead?
A: In
most cases, yes. Your dentist will be able
to evaluate your teeth and decide whether
orthodontics is necessary. If you do not have
a severe problem, LUMINEERS will change the
shape and alignment of teeth, making them
look straighter and more uniform.
Q: How much
does a Lumineers Smile cost?
A: Lumineers by Cerinate are porcelain veneers
that the Cerinate Smile Design Studio provides
to dentists. Fees are determined by your dentist
as he/she evaluates your smile needs. Often
Lumineer veneer procedures can considerably
vary, sometimes only a few Lumineers will
dramatically improve your smile and other
times more Lumineers can be required. Check
with your Lumineers dentist regarding your
personal requirements and payment programs
that are available.
Q: How long
will LUMINEERS last?
A: LUMINEERS has unparalleled longevity. Clinical
testing has proven that a LUMINEERS procedure
lasts and looks great for up to 20 years.
LUMINEERS BY CERINATE also offers a 5-year
Warranty and are replaced at no charge, ask
your dentist for details as certain restrictions
do apply.
Q: Can LUMINEERS be
taken off if I want them removed?
A: Yes, LUMINEERS are completely reversible.
This is largely due to the no reduction in
sensitive tooth structure so that your natural
teeth are still in tact and strong.
Q: With LUMINEERS,
do I need to use a special toothpaste or floss
a different way?
A: LUMINEERS is similar in structure to real
tooth enamel. Consequently, you should always
try to choose a low-abrasion toothpaste that
will remove plaque, stain and tartar gently
but effectively.
Q: With LUMINEERS,
can I still chew gum and eat my favorite sticky
foods like corn or candy?
A: There are no limitations to what you can eat
or drink as LUMINEERS are placed over original
teeth in the most durable way possible. However
you should continue to visit your dentist
every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning
to keep your LUMINEERS in good condition and
to qualify for the Warranty.
Q: Why have I never heard of LUMINEERS
before?
A: More than 5,000 dentists nationwide use LUMINEERS
BY CERINATE and we continue to educate the
dental community on this new procedure. Recently,
a national advertising campaign has been launched
to educate consumers about this noninvasive
technique.
