Lumineers in Upland and Fontana
Are you looking for a minimally invasive solution to transform your smile and correct dental imperfections? Lumineers may be the perfect choice for you. These ultra-thin veneers are made from high-quality porcelain and are crafted to be placed directly over your existing teeth without the need for drilling or extensive preparation. As a non-invasive option, Lumineers offer a convenient and comfortable way to achieve a beautiful smile.
What are Lumineers?
Lumineers are a type of ultra-thin dental veneers that are designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth and transform your smile. These veneers are made from high-quality, translucent porcelain material, which is known for its durability and natural-looking appearance.
​
Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are incredibly thin, typically about the thickness of a contact lens. This ultra-thinness allows them to be applied to your teeth with minimal to no tooth preparation, preserving your natural tooth structure and gum tissue. Lumineers are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely and can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, creating a beautiful, harmonious smile. For those with more complex dental issues, such as those requiring a root canal, Lumineers can be an excellent complementary option to address cosmetic concerns.​​
​
With Lumineers, you can achieve a stunning, picture-perfect smile without extensive tooth preparation or invasive procedures. Our experienced dental team will work closely with you to ensure that your Lumineers are customized to meet your specific needs and deliver the smile of your dreams.
Benefits of Lumineers
Lumineers offer a remarkable solution for those seeking a radiant and flawless smile. With their unique characteristics and benefits, Lumineers have gained popularity as a preferred choice for enhancing the appearance of teeth. Let's delve into the advantages of Lumineers and explore how this innovative dental treatment can transform your smile with minimal invasiveness and stunning results.
Minimally Invasive
Lumineers are a non-invasive option, requiring little to no tooth preparation compared to traditional veneers. This means minimal discomfort and preservation of your natural tooth structure.
Versatility
Lumineers can address a range of cosmetic dental concerns, including discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and misshapen teeth. They offer a versatile solution to achieve your desired smile.
Natural Aesthetics
Lumineers are crafted from high-quality porcelain that closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth. They are highly translucent, reflecting light just like real enamel, resulting in a beautiful and natural-looking smile.
Reversible
One of the significant advantages of Lumineers is their reversibility. Since minimal to no tooth preparation is required, they can be removed if desired, without causing damage to your natural teeth.
Durability
Despite being ultra-thin, Lumineers are remarkably strong and resistant to staining. With proper care and maintenance, Lumineers can provide long-lasting and stunning results.
Immediate
Lumineers offer an efficient solution for achieving an instant smile transformation. With minimal preparation and a precise application process, you can walk out of our office with a dramatically improved smile in just a few visits.
The Lumineers Process
1. Consultation: During the initial consultation, our experienced dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your smile goals. We will determine if Lumineers are the right solution for you and create a personalized treatment plan. If you have existing dental issues, such as the need for a root canal, we will address those concerns before proceeding with Lumineers.
​
2. Custom Design: Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a digital model. This will allow our skilled dental technicians to design your Lumineers with precision and ensure a perfect fit.
​
3. Minimal Tooth Preparation: One of the key benefits of Lumineers is that they require minimal tooth preparation or none at all. Unlike traditional veneers, there is usually no need to remove a significant amount of healthy tooth structure.
4. Placement: Once your Lumineers are ready, our dentists will carefully bond them to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. Any necessary adjustments will be made to guarantee a comfortable fit and a natural appearance.
​
5. Final Results: After the Lumineers are placed, you'll be able to see and enjoy the remarkable transformation of your smile. Lumineers are known for their lifelike appearance, mimicking the natural look of teeth while providing incredible aesthetics. We strive to ensure that all our patients receive the best possible care and outcomes.
