Cosmetic dentists often view a smile as a work of art, meticulously striving for perfect proportions. Dr. David Nusblatt, a Manhattan dentist specializing in Lumineers, believes that ideal proportions contribute to a naturally beautiful smile. Lumineers are increasingly favored over traditional veneers due to their minimally invasive nature and painless application, utilizing patented Cerinate porcelain. The procedure typically requires only two visits and eliminates the need for anesthetics or numbing shots.
Traditional veneers, in contrast, necessitate drilling and grinding down the teeth, often requiring anesthesia and a recovery period with potential pain. This process is irreversible because it damages the sensitive tooth structure.
Dr. Nusblatt emphasizes that Lumineers allow for creating balanced and perfect smiles tailored to each individual’s unique facial structure with minimal invasiveness. These contact lens-thin yet durable Lumineers are proven to last up to 20 years, and because the original teeth remain largely intact, the procedure is reversible in most cases.
Ben Ferrari from Nipomo, Calif., shares his experience: “I had always been self-conscious about my teeth and smile due to a large gap. Lumineers gave me an instant, beautiful smile. I was amazed by the results, especially since the procedure only took 40 minutes.” Lumineers, recognized as a “Top 10 Product” by Dental Products Report, can be applied over crowns and worn teeth to prevent further damage and, in certain instances, can serve as an alternative to braces.
