If you look in the dictionary under the word "easy," you may just see LUMINEERS, because when it comes to a dramatically beautiful smile makeover, a LUMINEERS placement is simple, safe and, best of all, painless. Without the traditional need for original tooth structure removal, LUMINEERS can create a smile that’s uniquely perfect for everyone, eliminating the fear of going to the dentist. Now, thousands of cosmetic dentists nationwide – with more signing on everyday – confidently and enthusiastically offer LUMINEERS because the placement is so minimally invasive with unparalleled results.

Whether re-shaping worn and chipped teeth or creating a straighter, more uniform smile, revolutionary LUMINEERS has changed the face of dentistry. By dramatically transforming a smile in the most minimally invasive way, LUMINEERS is the only veneer procedure that preserves and protects natural teeth whenever possible, so that the process is virtually painless – even a post-procedure aspirin is unnecessary.

More and more dentists are being inspired by the fact that LUMINEERS leaves original teeth in tact and that the process is reversible. Traditional veneers require the removal of sensitive tooth structure, often shaving or grinding down teeth. Consequences of such tooth reduction can sometimes cause the death of tooth pulp, causing the need for a root canal procedure.

Without the need for anesthesia or pain shots, LUMINEERS offers the painless and permanent smile enhancement option. Since the process is so simple and gentle, the sensitivity usually felt after a traditional veneer procedure is eliminated, making even an aspirin unnecessary.

For adults who have lived their life with less-than-perfect teeth, an insecure closed mouth smile is the norm. LUMINEERS provides instant teeth straightening and permanent whitening. It is a convenient substitute for braces and other orthodontics. The procedure may also be used on worn teeth to strengthen them and prevent further wear. LUMINEERS can even be placed over crowns to improve esthetics and help rejuvenate a smile. A LUMINEERS procedure is so versatile, it can even be used on cases that require some tooth structure removal for desired esthetic results.

In addition, statistics reveal that hundreds of thousands of cosmetics procedures a year are performed on patients 18 years of age or younger, so LUMINEERS is especially breakthrough for children and teens. When teeth are broken, chipped or severely stained, cosmetic dentistry is the most effective way to fix the problem. A LUMINEERS placement is excellent for younger patients because there is no need to grind or shave down the tooth and the process is reversible. Children and teens have larger nerve and pulp chambers than adults, so the nerves are closer to the edge of teeth. When those teeth are ground down to place traditional veneers, the exposed oversized nerve often dies and consequently so does the tooth.

LUMINEERS can only be made from Cerinate porcelain, an innovative porcelain, crafted through a proprietary process unavailable anywhere other than Den-Mat Corporation. LUMINEERS creates a custom-made smile clinically proven to last up to 20 years. LUMINEERS is the best of both worlds – ultra thin, yet super strong for a radiant smile that resists any micro-cracking, which can damage restorations. All LUMINEERS come with a 5-year warranty.

LUMINEERS evolved from Den-Mat’s successful Cerinate Design Studios. LUMINEERS is revered in top trade publications, including Dental Products Report, which awarded LUMINEERS a spot in the "Top 10 Products" list and the Dental Advisers’ "5 Pluses" editors’ choice award for the past 2 years.
