At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, we offer Lumineers® as a conservative solution for patients seeking to improve the appearance of their smile without removing natural tooth structure. Our dentist and team use this advanced cosmetic option to address discoloration, minor misalignment, small gaps and worn enamel with a minimally invasive approach that prioritizes preservation and aesthetics.
Lumineers are ultra-thin shells of durable porcelain that are custom designed to fit over the front surface of the teeth. Because of their slim profile, they often require little to no reshaping of the natural tooth, making them a preferred option for patients looking for a reversible or less invasive treatment alternative.
What to Expect With Lumineers
The Lumineers process begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, our dentist will assess the shape, alignment and shade of your teeth to determine if Lumineers are a suitable solution for your goals. Digital scans and impressions are taken to ensure precision in the fabrication process.
Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers typically do not require enamel removal or temporary restorations. Once the Lumineers are created by a specialized dental lab, a second appointment is scheduled for placement. Each shell is bonded carefully to the surface of the tooth and adjusted for fit, bite and symmetry. The result is a natural-looking enhancement that blends seamlessly with your existing smile.
Patients receive instructions on how to care for their new Lumineers to maintain longevity and prevent damage. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, Lumineers can last a decade or more.
A Natural Look With Less Invasive Treatment
Lumineers offer a simplified alternative to traditional cosmetic restorations, with benefits that include reduced chair time, no shots or drilling in many cases and immediate smile improvement. This treatment is ideal for patients who are looking to enhance their appearance while preserving the integrity of their natural teeth. Our dentist and team are focused on providing care that is comfortable, effective and customized. We aim to ensure every patient feels fully informed and supported throughout their cosmetic journey.
