The normal tooth: the dentin is surrounded by protective enamel.

The natural tooth

In natural teeth, the enamel protectively surrounds the sensitive dentin. Discoloured or damaged enamel is often perceived as aesthetically displeasing.

The current method using traditional veneers required the grinding down of the healthy tooth to up to 2 mm.

Treatment with traditional veneers

Because the thickness of veneers is 0.8 mm and more, the grinding down of healthy dental substance to up to 2 mm is unavoidable. Consequently, the restoration of the pre-treatment status is no longer possible – the dental substance is lost forever.

Lumineers offer excellent aesthetics without any pain and without the need to grind down healthy tooth substance.

Lumineers – the alternative

Constantly improved production and composite techniques now make it possible to produce razor-thin ceramics plates which are permanently adhered to the tooth. No grinding down of tooth substance is required. As a result, the treatment is completely painfree and the pre-treatment status can be restored any time. Even pre-existing crowns can be treated.
