Lumineers®
Are your teeth worn down, chipped, or broken? For patients who wish to improve the color, shape, size, or length of their teeth, Dr. Wynatte Chu may recommend veneers in New York, New York. Veneers are thin shells that are custom made to cover the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers can correct dental flaws including:
- Discolored teeth
- Worn down teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Teeth that appear too long or too short
- Gaps and spaces between teeth
LumineersĀ® is the number one patient-requested veneer system. They are about as thin as a contact lens, so they can be applied to your teeth seamlessly. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers generally need little to no tooth preparation, so they eliminate the need for shots and temporary veneers. During your first visit, our dentist will make impressions of your upper and lower teeth so that your Lumineers can be constructed in an authorized Lumineers laboratory. When your Lumineers are complete, our dentist will check the fit. Your teeth will be moderately etched to ensure a good bonding process. Then your Lumineers will be permanently bonded into place.
We encourage you to contact our dental office today to learn more and to schedule a consultation.
