Dental Veneers or Lumineers?

If you want to improve your smile, visit Oral Care Dentistry: Parnaz Aurasteh, DDS. From our Beverly Hills office, we can correct all of the aesthetic and functional issues you have with your teeth in order to give you a smile that you can be proud to show off. Two of the solutions we use to do so are dental veneers and Lumineers. If you have ever wondered which one is right for you – dental veneers or Lumineers, we encourage you to call (310) 974-6779 and schedule a consultation. In the meantime, here is what you should know about the two solutions.

Dental Veneers

If you want a Hollywood-style smile, dental veneers are an excellent solution for you. They are created out of porcelain and can be designed to look exactly like natural teeth by being luminescent and even having gentle staining. They are bonded to the surface of your teeth after a portion of your enamel has been removed. In this way, dental veneers replace a portion of your enamel, permanently altering your teeth. Our Beverly Hills, CA patients appreciate how this option can be used to close gaps in between teeth, make them appear straighter, change the shape and size of them and cover dark stains. They can literally transform the appearance of your smile.

Lumineers

Thinner than dental veneers, Lumineers are as thin as a contact lens. They can still transform your smile, close gaps, etc. but they do so without the need to remove any enamel. They can be bonded directly to the surface of your prepared teeth and by allowing your enamel to remain intact, your tooth structure is preserved and the process is virtually pain free. If you live in the 90212 area and want to close gaps in between your teeth but are worried about discomfort – don’t be. Lumineers are the perfect solution.

When considering dental veneers or Lumineers know that both options will improve your smile. The biggest difference is that Lumineers are thinner which means that they are not for everyone. Simultaneously, if you do qualify for the procedure, this is a far more comfortable and convenient solution. To discuss them both in further detail, call (310) 974-6779 and schedule an appointment with Oral Care Dentistry: Parnaz Aurasteh, DDS.
