Philadelphia Lumineers are the Minimally Invasive Smile Makeover Solution

Lumineers Cosmetic Treatment

Lumineers in Philadelphia provide a less invasive alternative to traditional veneers, requiring minimal alteration of existing teeth. This method is ideal for those seeking a quick, pain-free solution to enhance their smile without braces or whitening treatments. If you’re interested in transforming your smile with Lumineers, contact Dr. Eidelson for a consultation and to explore this convenient and effective aesthetic solution.

What are the advantages of Lumineers?

Lumineers, the #1 patient-requested veneer option in Philadelphia, are made of a unique ceramic material, Cerinate, known for its natural tooth-like luminosity and translucency. These ultra-thin, contact lens-like veneers require minimal to no enamel removal, making them a minimally invasive choice. Key benefits of Lumineers include:

Requires little to no enamel removal
Mimics the translucency and luminosity of natural teeth
Comparable in thinness to a contact lens
Less invasive application means more comfort
Strong and long-lasting material
Resists discoloration and maintains whiteness
Achieve a new smile in fewer visits

How Lumineers work

What is the procedure like?

The Lumineers process with Dr. Eidelson at our Center City Philadelphia cosmetic dentist practice is thorough and patient-focused, involving several key stages:

01.

Consultation & Planning

During your initial visit, you’ll consult with your dentist to discuss your goals. This stage includes an examination of your teeth to determine if Lumineers are the right option for you. An alternative option available are traditional porcelain veneers, suitable for certain patients.

02.

Preparation & Impressions

Impressions of your teeth are taken for the custom creation of your Lumineers. This phase focuses on designing Lumineers that fit perfectly over your existing teeth.

03.

Final Placement

Once your custom Lumineers are ready, you’ll return for the final fitting. Here, the Lumineers are carefully bonded to your teeth, instantly enhancing your smile without the need for extensive dental work.

Alternative treatments

Porcelain veneers offer a durable and customizable alternative to Lumineers for enhancing your smile with a more traditional approach.

Lumineers vs. Dental Veeners in Philadelphia

Choosing Lumineers over traditional dental veneers offers a less invasive alternative. Traditional veneers require removing some enamel, permanently altering teeth and possibly causing discomfort. Lumineers, being ultra-thin, usually don’t need enamel removal, making the process more comfortable and reversible. However, they may not cover severe discoloration as effectively as veneers. Dr. Eidelson evaluates each case individually, considering factors like tooth discoloration and alignment, to recommend the most suitable option between Lumineers and traditional veneers.

Happy Patients

“Dr Eidelson is the absolute best. One of my Veneers broke from my overbite and last minute on a Friday and holiday weekend, stopped his plans and met me at the office in 1 hour. He made sure I was comfortable, and fixed my tooth with no problem at all. He is very caring and goes above and beyond for me every visit. He worries almost as if they are his own teeth and I could not ask for a better dentist!!!”
