Veneers & Lumineers
Porcelain veneers are being deemed a “modern miracle” in cosmetic dentistry. They’re thin porcelain shells that cover flaws, including chips, breaks, gaps, stains, and minor misalignments. Made from high quality porcelains that mimic natural tooth enamel, porcelain veneers are extremely lifelike and can have a dramatic impact on your overall appearance.
Dr. Rothenberger customizes every porcelain veneer according to each patient’s goals, smile, facial shape, and coloring. The process is unique for every patient, though we can often complete treatment in just two or three appointments. Because of this, porcelain veneers can deliver an “instant smile makeover.”
With traditional veneers, some tooth enamel is removed to make room for the porcelain. Lumineers are a brand of veneers made from leucite-reinforced, pressed ceramic. This results in a stronger and thinner veneer that can be placed with little or no tooth reduction. With Lumineers, if you ever decide that you want your natural smile back, Dr. Rothenberger can simply remove the restorations.
