Below are some commonly asked questions and answers that you may have on LUMINEERS by CERINATE:

Q1: How is LUMINEERS by CERINATE different than traditional veneers procedures? A1: LUMINEERS by CERINATE is unique in that it is contact lens-thin (approximately 0.2 mm) and super translucent. Traditional veneers are fused or bonded to teeth, and generally your dentist will need to grind down the tooth for a good fit. Since LUMINEERS is so thin, little to no tooth reduction is necessary. In addition, LUMINEERS resists micro-leakage and micro-cracking.

Q2: Is there any other LUMINEERS? A3: No, LUMINEERS can only be made from CERINATE porcelain. This revolutionary porcelain is crafted through a proprietary process unavailable anywhere other than Den-Mat Corporation, one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of professional dental materials.

Q3: I have heard that a veneer procedure hurts? Is it true with LUMINEERS? A3: It’s true that most veneer procedures require a substantial amount of tooth structure removal and that there are pain and discomfort involved. LUMINEERS is completely different because there is no need for grinding, cutting or filing of teeth in almost all cases. Consequently, no anesthetic or numbing shots are needed. Additionally, no uncomfortable temporaries are required while you wait for your LUMINEERS to be created. Once the procedure is completed, there is no post-placement discomfort or sensitivity, which means they will look natural and feel comfortable from the start.

Q4: I think I need braces, but I do not want to go through the inconvenient, unsightly and time-intensive process. Can I get LUMINEERS instead? A4: In most cases, yes! Dr. Tran can evaluate your teeth and decide whether or not orthodontics is necessary. If you do not have a severe problem, LUMINEERS can change the shape and alignment of your teeth to make them look straighter and more uniform.

Q5: How long will LUMINEERS last? A5: LUMINEERS has unparalleled longevity. Clinical testing has proven that a LUMINEERS procedure lasts and looks great for up to 20 years. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE also offers a 5-year Warranty and are replaced at no charge, ask DR. Tran for details as certain restrictions do apply.

Q6: Can LUMINEERS be taken off if I want them removed? A6: Yes, LUMINEERS are completely reversible. This is largely due to the no reduction in sensitive tooth structure so that your natural teeth are still in tact and strong.

Q7: With LUMINEERS, do I need to use special toothpaste or floss a different way? A7: LUMINEERS is similar in structure to real tooth enamel. Consequently, you should always try to choose a low-abrasion toothpaste that will remove plaque, stain and tartar gently but effectively.

Q8: With LUMINEERS, can I still chew gum and eat my favorite sticky foods like corn or candy? A8: There are no limitations to what you can eat or drink as LUMINEERS are placed over original teeth in the most durable way possible. However you should continue to visit Dr. Tran every 6 months for a regular check-up and cleaning to keep your LUMINEERS in good condition and to qualify for the Warranty.

Q9: Why I have never heard of LUMINEERS before? A9: More than 5,000 dentists nationwide use LUMINEERS BY CERINATE and that the dental community is being educated on this new procedure. Recently, a national advertising campaign has been launched to educate consumers about the LUMINEERS noninvasive technique.
