Differences between Lumineers and Veneers
If you are considering dental veneers as a way to whiten your smile and make your teeth even and beautiful, you should know that not all dental veneers are equal, and some may actually cause more dental problems than they solve.
Dr. Mondavi, Torrance cosmetic dentist, is ready to work with you to choose the best veneers for your dental needs; contact us today for an appointment to talk about veneers.
Many porcelain veneers are relatively thick structures which require extensive grinding of the teeth. This means that your dental enamel is permanently removed before the veneers are placed. If you decide, for any reason, not to keep the veneers, your teeth will have to be recovered as they will have a good bit of enamel missing. This is a permanent solution which offers little option of reversal.
However, Lumineers are quite different. These special dental veneers are so thin, they require almost no grinding of the tooth enamel in order to place them safely, effectively, and comfortably. They can easily be removed at a later time if you choose, with no damage to your teeth, or can be replaced or repositioned if necessary with no further invasive dental work.
If you are interested in finding out how Lumineers can meet your dental needs and give you the beautiful smile you want, talk to our dentist in Torrance today. Our friendly office staff will be happy to work with you to create the best smile you can possibly have, without painful and time-consuming dental work.
