Types of Porcelain Veneers

Cosmetic dentistry is advancing rapidly, as new treatments and technology are being developed at an amazing rate. The manufacturers of porcelain veneers have produced several types of veneers that stand out from the rest. Two remarkable brands are LUMINEERS® and da Vinci Veneers™.

Da Vinci Porcelain Veneers™

Da Vinci Veneers™ are a phenomenal brand of veneers that have been featured on hit reality shows such as Extreme Makeover and The Swan. Da Vinci Veneers™ are known for their translucence and durability.

Benefits of da Vinci Porcelain Veneers™

The advantages of da Vinci Veneers™ include:

• Minimal tooth reduction. Da Vinci Veneers™ are wafer-thin and can sometimes be placed with little or no preparation of the tooth.
• Stain resistance. Da Vinci Veneers™ maintain their color for years.
• Natural-looking results. The translucent ceramic material used in da Vinci Veneers™ makes them indistinguishable from natural teeth.
• Durability. Da Vinci Veneers™ are made of a pressed ceramic material that is incredibly strong and prolongs the use of the veneers.

LUMINEERS® Porcelain Veneers

Have you avoided having a smile makeover with porcelain veneers because you are anxious about the placement process? If so, LUMINEERS® may be right for you, since placing them does not require removing the tooth's enamel.

Benefits of LUMINEERS® Porcelain Veneers

The benefits of LUMINEERS® veneers include:

• Virtually painless placement process. Since LUMINEERS® are about the size of a contact lens, no tooth reduction is needed to prepare the tooth.
• Convenient, two-visit placement. A dentist can place LUMINEERS® in two office visits: one to plan your new smile, and one to place the veneers.
• Reduced risk of tooth sensitivity and trauma. Since the tooth's enamel is not removed, there is less of a risk of tooth sensitivity or injury.
• Reversibility. Unlike traditional veneers placement, LUMINEERS® can be removed in the future.
