Traditional methods of smile enhancement, like veneers, often have required painful hours in the dentist's chair. "I have always been worried that we are doing damage, especially on young people, by taking away too much tooth structure," says a North Carolina dentist in a posting on www.dentaltown.com, a popular dental Web site and forum. Now, with one of the newest developments in cosmetic dentistry, Lumineers by Cerinate, you can dramatically improve your smile immediately and painlessly. There is virtually no maintenance, save for regular brushings, and your new smile will be permanent. Veneers require the removal of sensitive tooth structure, which necessitates the use of anesthesia and pain medication. However, Lumineers are so thin and strong that they don't require the same invasive drilling and shaving. Lumineers leave original teeth intact. They are also clinically proven to last up to 20 years. So when it comes to smile makeovers today, some 7,500 dentists are choosing Lumineers. These contact lens-thin smile enhancers are a great alternative to orthodontics and can be placed over old crowns and bridges. Dental professionals are so impressed with new developments like Lumineers that they are placing them on their own friends' and loved ones' teeth. "I placed Lumineers on my daughter," reveals another dentist on dentaltown.com. "I can't wait to do another case." Lumineers can be made only from Cerinate, an innovative porcelain developed by Den-Mat Corp. They have been lauded in top dental publications, including Dental Products Report, which awarded them a spot in its "Top 10 Products" list.
