Los Angeles, CA, Aug. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Few things can build confidence the way an attractive smile can.
Smiles communicate much about a person's personality, and a broad
smile can be confidence-inspiring and combat a bad mood, according
to smile research. Teeth that are chipped, stained and flawed may
leave patients feeling self-conscious about their smiles. Los Angeles Lumineers
expert, Dr. Poneh Ghasri, explains the advantages of Lumineers for
correcting these flaws.
Lumineers are a special type of dental veneers that can completely
rejuvenate and revitalize a patient's smile without the need for
any invasive procedures or permanent alteration of the teeth
involved. They can be applied in two to three short dental
appointments and can last up to 20 years when properly maintained.
Traditional dental veneers not only often require more dental
appointments for placement, but they can also require painful shots
and uncomfortable procedures. Dental enamel must be trimmed away,
and this can result in post-procedure sensitivity. The enamel loss
is also permanent, which means that the restoration procedure is
not reversible.
Thanks to the ultra-thin, ultra-strong porcelain that is used in
Lumineers, they
can be placed directly over the teeth. No trimming is required, and
there is no need for shots or discomfort. Lumineers are simply
bonded directly over the natural tooth, which eliminates the risk
of sensitivity and also allows the procedure to be reversed if
necessary. After Lumineers have been applied, a patient's smile
will be permanently whiter, smoother and more even. The results are
natural-looking and can transform even the most damaged or flawed
smiles, and they can be brushed and flossed just like natural
teeth.
