I want some flexibility with the cost for improving my smile. How often do patients have satisfactory results when they use lumineers and whiten the remainder of their existing teeth? I want to use lumineers on my top 4 front teeth and have the rest whitened to match.
Make sure that the teeth have at least a week to color stabilize after the whitening is done.. Lumineers sound easy and great but most dentists I know find them bulky and not very reliable cosmetically. Standard veneers are what I have personally and would not consider Lumineers even tho Im certified to place them...
I read that lumineers can fix crowded teeth in as little as two appointments. How long does it take overall? (http://www.edwardstreetdental.com/Lumineers.html)
In an ideal world, we tell our patients that it should take two major visits. One visit to prepare the teeth for Lumineers ( if any) and one visit to bond the teeth into place. If we feel the teeth are not perfect in fit size contour color etc we may send the veneers back to the lab and another visit would ensue. You have to also work in your consulation appointment, cleaning appointment etc.
Good Luck. Dr. David Frey
How often do patients experience speech difficulties when lumineers are used for de-emphasizing buck teeth?
I would not do lumineers to correct a buck tooth. Without reshaping or contouring your existing tooth, your buck smile will be even more buck. Do a traditional veneer and have your teeth contoured.
