If you have noticed all the dazzling white teeth that seem to have overtaken the movie, TV and even covers of most all magazines, you'll be happy to know that their smile could be yours. Most of these beautiful smiles are a result of veneers known as Lumineers that create a perfect smile without altering your current teeth.

They are a painless way to whiten and straighten your teeth, utilizing a very thin layer of porcelain that is placed over existing teeth. Since this revolutionary product is unlike anything else, it is totally reversible since no damage is caused to the teeth themselves. There is no drilling involved and so for those that are a bit leery of going to the dentist, that anxiety can be put to rest.

Your teeth need not be totally straight as this procedure is a great substitute for braces. This makes it so later on there is no need for a retainer afterward as well, so there are several advantages to going this route.

Those that might be a good candidate for this type of procedure include those who simply dislike their smile, have crooked teeth or even those that are chipped and broken. Even people with missing teeth can benefit from this revolutionary dental procedure. All that is really required is to have enough remaining tooth surface for bonding to take place. Otherwise, the only other hitch may be the cost which is generally not covered by insurance as it is a cosmetic enhancement.
