Quick and Easy Smile Makeovers with Lumineers and Durathin Minimal Prep Veneers

December 10, 2014

Do you need a smile makeover? If you have to hide your smile because of discoloration, cracks, chips, or misalignment you need help from Lumineers and Durathin minimal prep veneers. These ultra thin veneers can fix multiple cosmetic issues at once with little to no pain or discomfort. Traditional veneers are much thicker, requiring the dentist to grind, file, or cut down your natural teeth and alter your original tooth structure.  With no-prep or minimal prep veneers, the dentist doesn’t need to change the structure of your teeth in any way. Lumineers and Durathin minimal prep veneers can be bonded to the front of your teeth to overhaul your smile in just one visit.
