When the teeth whitening does not satisfy your expectations, and you just don't have the time to go through an orthodontic treatment, veneers may be the alternative you are looking for.

We believe that Lumineers by Cerinate are a superior treatment alternative, because they satisfy four of the most articulated concerns in dentistry:

• Promptness of the treatment,
• Dazzling, natural-looking smiles,
• Longevity of the restorations, and
• No Pain!

1. Porcelain veneer, also known as Laminate, is a thin shell of ceramic that is custom designed and 'bonded' (cemented) onto the front side of your tooth. It is an exciting new treatment option used to improve a multitude of smile deficiencies:

• functional – such as chipped, cracked, worn-out or otherwise disfigured teeth, as well as
• esthetic – such as closing gaps between teeth, permanent whitening for stained or discolored teeth, or to perform ‘instant orthodontics’ in cases of misaligned teeth.

Lumineers by Cerinate is a type of porcelain veneer that can be made as thin as a contact lens and placed over your existing teeth without removing any sensitive tooth structure (in most cases). Thereby, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. These smile makeovers have been clinically proven to last up to 20 years and because your natural teeth remain untouched, the treatment is completely reversible.

2. Direct Veneer, also known as Bonding, is a tooth-colored filling that is placed over the entire front surface of your tooth. This alternative to its porcelain counterpart is a quick way to improve your smile on a budget.

Over the years, veneers have evolved to become an ultra-conservative treatment. With latest advancements in porcelain fabrication and composite layering techniques, there is no longer any need to compromise your own teeth in order to have the smile you deserve. And, without removal of your healthy tooth structure, both direct and porcelain veneers can be a reversible treatment.

Porcelain Veneer:

• is a ceramic. Its surface is extremely smooth and impervious to such teeth staining influences as exposure to tea, coffee, red wine, or cigarette smoking. This means that your new porcelain enhanced teeth will not pick up permanent stains regardless of your eating habbits.
• Because they are made outside your mouth, the are layered from various shades of porcelain resulting in fantastic esthetics.
• Requiring at least two vists to complete, they are an ideal solution to permanently improve the shape, size, color and feel of your teeth.
• With proper maintenance, porcelain veneers are expected to last well over 10-15 years.

Lumineer Advantage:

• No Anesthesia or numbing shots,
• No Lengthy Preparation appointment
• No Temporaries while your new smile is being created,
• No Post-Placement Discomfort or sensitivity,
• Lumineers by Cerinate offers a 5-year Warranty and are replaced at no charge.

Direct Composite Veneer:

• The benefits of bonding are that it is faster and less expensive compared to porcelain veneers. Generally it can be performed in a single visit, giving you an immediate esthetic enhancement.
• However, it should be noted that cosmetic bondings, just like natural teeth, are subject to discoloration from certain types of food or smoking.
• Bondings typically do not last as long as porcelain veneers and may require touch-ups or replacement in 5 to 10 years.
