Before & After - Lumineers & Porcelain Veneers
LUMINEERS™ BY CERINATE®
LUMINEERS™ BY CERINATE® , have taken the beauty industry by storm as a pain-free and permanent cosmetic procedure, dramatically improving your smile with a minimal amount of invasion. LUMINEERS may be used on worn teeth to strengthen and lengthen them and prevent further wear. They can provide instant teeth straightening; and depending upon bite severity, are a convenient substitute for braces and other orthodontics. LUMINEERS can even be placed over crowns to improve esthetics and help rejuvenate a smile. Without the removal of tooth structure, LUMINEERS require no anesthesia or temporary crowns. The process is so simple and gentle because the procedure is virtually pain-free!
In just two or three visits, Dr. Boehm will create a custom-made LUMINEER smile for you that is clinically proven to last 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.

TRADITIONAL VENEERS
Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length. Porcelain veneers resist staining and mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth, giving a special little sparkle to your smile.
What types of problems do traditional veneers fix? They are routinely used for:
- Teeth that are discolored — either because of root canal treatment, stains from tetracycline or other medications, or the presence of large fillings that have discolored the tooth or are failing
- Teeth that are worn
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
- Teeth with gaps between them
The procedure usually requires three trips to the dentist — one for a consultation, one for the preparation with temporary veneers placed, and one to apply the porcelain veneers. One tooth or many teeth can simultaneously be prepared for veneers.
Traditional veneers are a great choice of treatment for many patients.
