Dr. Reinhart offers 2 types of porcelain veneers, Lumineers and Traditional Porcelain Veneers.
LUMINEERS
Lumineers are one of the best cosmetic dentistry options available today. They are “No-pain, No-drilling” Porcelain Veneers that are custom made to give you a beautiful white smile in only 2-3 visits.
Lumineers are different than traditional Porcelain Veneers. They require little to no drilling and you don't need to be numbed for this procedure.
Lumineers are very strong and thin pieces of porcelain that are comfortably bonded to your stained, worn and old looking teeth to create a much more youthful and attractive appearance.
Lumineers are incredibly easy and can give you a newfound confidence. The results are fantastic and the appointments are easy! (As seen in People magazine!)
LUMINEERS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: How come I don't have to get numb for Lumineers?
A: Lumineers are made out of very thin and strong porcelain. Because they are thin there is no need to grind on your teeth and therefore you don't need to be numb.
Q: If they are thin, will they break?
A: No. Although Lumineers are thin, they are extremely strong and durable. They are as strong and long lasting as traditional porcelain veneers.
Q: Will they feel bulky after I have them put on?
A: No. Because they are thin they don't feel bulky. They will feel a little different immediately after they are placed but within a few days it will feel natural.
Q: How many visits does it take for Lumineers to be placed?
A: It usually takes 2-3 easy visits. At the first visit, a mould of your teeth is made. At the second visit, the Lumineers are bonded to your teeth. Sometimes a 3rd visit is needed for final polishing.
Q: Who should get Lumineers?
A: Almost anyone is a candidate for Lumineers. Whether your teeth are dark, crooked or spaced, Lumineers can GREATLY improve your smile. People who are afraid of needles are perfect patients because there are no needles and no numbness! People with spaces between their teeth can get great results with Lumineers because the spaces can be closed when the Lumineers are bonded to the teeth. It couldn't be easier!

TRADITIONAL PORCELAIN VENEERS
Many people have heard about Porcelain veneers but few people actually know what they are. Porcelain veneers are THE MOST effective way to improve your smile and achieve a younger, more attractive look. Most movie stars have beautiful smiles because of Porcelain Veneers.
Porcelain veneers are very similar to Lumineers. They are beautiful, thin pieces of Porcelain that are strongly bonded to your teeth in order to change the shape, color and appearance of your teeth. They are different from “No drilling” Lumineers in that Porcelain veneers require some re-shaping of your natural teeth so that the Porcelain Veneers can REALLY LOOK GREAT.
For some people, Porcelain Veneers will yield a better result than Lumineers. For others, Lumineers are the better choice. Come see us to find out what is right for you. We have pictures and models that will help you understand what is the right way for you to achieve your new smile.
PORCELAIN VENEERS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Does it hurt?
A: No. Dr. Reinhart is very gentle. Your natural teeth need to be re-shaped so most people require some amount of numbing. Using special instruments and care, Dr. Reinhart is able to do this in a painless way. We don't like hurting anyone!
Q: Why would anyone choose Porcelain Veneers over Lumineers?
A: Depending on the arrangement of your teeth and desired result, you may need some re-shaping of your natural teeth. Dr. Reinhart will help you decide which is best for you.
Q: Will the veneers last a long time?
A: Yes. Many veneers last 20 years or more. Many factors determine the lifespan of veneers including diet, oral hygiene and whether or not you grind your teeth. We use the latest technology and personal attention to ensure that your veneers will last as long as possible. We want them to last as long as you do!
