Dental Lumineers

PAIN-FREE IS IN WHEN IT COMES TO SMILE MAKEOVERS

New LUMINEERS by Cerinate is the permanent, pleasant and painless alternative to veneers

Most veneer procedures require the removal of sensitive tooth structure, so, if by misfortune, a veneer comes off, you are left with an ugly little tooth nub. Den-Mat, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of professional dental materials, has changed all that with the introduction of revolutionary permanent, pleasant and painless LUMINEERS™ BY CERINATE®. Dentists apply these contact lens-thin smile enhancers to teeth without any grinding or shaving of sensitive tooth structure, transforming misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual.

Your smile is the easiest way to improve your appearance. LUMINEERS can accomplish this by providing instant teeth straightening. They are a convenient substitute for braces and other orthodontics, depending on bite severity. 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. All LUMINEERS come with a 5 year warranty.

LUMINEERS can only be made from Cerinate porcelain, an innovative porcelain, crafted through a proprietary process unavailable anywhere other than Den-Mat Corporation.
Without the need for removal of sensitive tooth structure, LUMINEERS require no anesthesia because the procedure is virtually pain-free. Since the process is so simple and gentle, the sensitivity usually felt after a traditional veneer procedure is eliminated.

In just two or three visits to the dentist, LUMINEERS provide a custom-made smile clinically proven to last up to 20 years. LUMINEERS are the best of both worlds - ultra thin, yet super strong for a radiant smile that resists any micro-cracking, which can damage restorations.

LUMINEERS evolved from Den-Mat's successful Cerinate Design Studios, used by over 6,000 dentists nationwide. Cerinates are revered in top trade publications, including Dental Products Report, which awarded LUMINEERS a spot in the "Top 10 Products" list. Now, Cerinate dentists are elevating their practices by also offering LUMINEERS as an alternative when a dentist desires not to remove sensitive tooth structure.

"When I have suggested veneers to patients, I see an expression of fear and doubt wash over them," said David Nusblatt, D.M.D of New York City. "They automatically think of fake things attached to their teeth. LUMINEERS by Cerinate are completely different in that it is a non-invasive, yet permanent way to create the best shape and color possible for teeth."

LUMINEERS by Cerinate are a product of Santa Maria, California-based Den-Mat Corporation. Consumers can find LUMINEERS dentist referrals nationwide at 1-877-LUMINEERS or visit www.cerinate.com.

NEW COSMETIC DENTISTRY MOVES A WA Y FROM PAINFUL VENEERS WITH LUMINEERS™ BY CERINA7E®

PERMANENT, PLEASANT and PAINLESS

Q: How are LUMINEERS™ by Cerinate® different than traditional veneer procedures?

A: LUMINEERS are permanent, pleasant and painless smile enhancers that are unique in that they are like a sheath - ultra-thin (approximately .2 mm) and super translucent. LUMINEERS are precisely, yet easily applied to teeth for instant tooth straightening and the most natural look possible. 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 are so thin, no reduction of sensitive tooth structure is necessary. In addition, LUMINEERS resist micro-leakage and micro-cracking.

Q. Is there any other LUMINEERS?

A: 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.

Q: I've heard that a veneer procedure often hurts? Is that true with LUMINEERS?

A: No. While most veneer procedures require a substantial amount of tooth structure removal, LUMINEERS are completely different because there is no need for grinding, cutting or filing of sensitive tooth structure. Consequently, no anesthetic or numbing shots are needed. Plus, no uncomfortable temps 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.

Q: My crowns and bridgework make my smile less-than-desirable. Can a LUMINEERS procedure cover them to help give me the smile I've always wanted?

A: Absolutely. LUMINEERS may be placed over crowns and bridgework to improve esthetics and help rejuvenate a smile. The process is as simple and comfortable on crowns and bridgework as it is on original teeth.

Q: I think I need braces, but I really don't want to go through the inconvenient, unsightly and time-intensive process. Can I get LUMINEERS instead?

A: Yes, in most cases. Your dentist will be able to evaluate your teeth and decide whether LUMINEERS or orthodontics is best. If you do not have a severe problem, LUMINEERS will change the shape and alignment of teeth, making them look straighter and more uniform.

Q. How long will LUMINEERS last?

A. LUMINEERS has unparalleled longevity. Clinical testing has proven that a LUMINEERS procedure lasts and looks great for up to 20 years.

Q: With LUMINEERS, do I need to use a special toothpaste or floss a different way?

A: LUMINEERS are similar in structure to real tooth enamel. Consequently, you should always try to choose a low-abrasion toothpaste that will effectively, yet gently, remove plaque, stain and tartar.

Q: With LUMINEERS, can I still chew gum and eat my favorite sticky foods like corn or candy?

A: Yes, because LUMINEERS are laid over original teeth in the most durable way possible. However, over time, you should continue to routine visits to your dentist.

Q: Are my teeth going to feel different with LUMINEERS?

A: LUMINEERS look and feel like natural teeth. The procedure never hurts because it does not require any shots or drilling of sensitive tooth structure. Also, LUMINEERS can almost always be placed without removing sensitive tooth structure. They're simply faster, easier and better!
