What makes LUMINEERS®Porcelain Veneers different from other veneers?
LUMINEERS®BY CERINATE®are porcelain veneers that offer the painless way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile. Your LUMINEERS dentist can apply these contact lens-thin "smile shapers" to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. LUMINEERS can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them.
LUMINEERS are contact lens-thin and are placed over existing teeth without having to remove painful tooth structure (unlike traditional veneers). LUMINEERS is the painless, permanent cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, discolored or misaligned teeth.
LUMINEERS can only be made from patented Cerinate porcelain unavailable anywhere other than the Cerinate Smile Design Studio. In just 2-3 visits to Dr. Uday Shah here at Sunny Family Dental, you can have a custom-made smile that is clinically proven to last over 20 years - and it is completely reversible since your natural tooth structure is still intact! Get your perfect smile today!
LUMINEERS BY CERINATE Technique
Before
Teeth are stained, slightly misshapen with spaces in-between. An impression is made and the mold is sent to the Cerinate Smile Design Studios where only LUMINEERS are crafted.
LUMINEERS VENEERS NO PAINFUL TOOTH PREPARATION
On next dental visit, the dentist tries in LUMINEERS to ensure a good fit. Teeth are moderately etched to prepare for placement but there is no removal of sensitive tooth structure, unlike the painful part of traditional veneer techniques. The LUMINEERS are bonded to natural teeth and set in place with a curing light.
PAINFREE AFTER
In only 2 easy dental visits, your patient will have a permanently whiter and beautiful smile without shots, drilling, or pain.
TRADITIONAL VENEERS Technique
BEFORE
Teeth appear stained and slightly misshapen. An impression is made and sent to a lab.
TRADITIONAL VENEER TOOTH PREPARATION
Anesthetic shots are given to numb the area and teeth are severely shaved away with a drill to accommodate the veneers.
POTENTIALLY PAINFUL AFTER
A better, but still flawed smile, as the procedure is not reversible like LUMINEERS because the original teeth have been shaved down causing your patient pain and discomfort immediately after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is LUMINEERS™ BY CERINATE® different than traditional veneer procedures?
LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is unique in that it is contact-lens-thin (approximately .2 mm) and super translucent. Traditional veneers are fused or bonded to teeth, and generally your dentist will need to grind down the tooth for a good fit. Since LUMINEERS is so thin, little to no tooth reduction is necessary. In addition, LUMINEERS resists micro-leakage and micro-cracking.
Is there any other LUMINEERS?
No. LUMINEERS can only be made from patented Cerinate porcelain. This revolutionary porcelain is crafted through a proprietary process unavailable anywhere other than Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of professional dental materials.
I've heard that a veneer procedure hurts? Is that true with LUMINEERS?
It's true that because most veneer procedures require a substantial amount of tooth structure removal, that there is pain and discomfort involved. LUMINEERS is completely different because there is no need for grinding, cutting or filing of teeth in almost all cases. Consequently, no anesthetic or numbing shots are needed. Plus, no uncomfortable temporaries are required while you wait for LUMINEERS to be created. Once the procedure is completed, there is no post-placement discomfort or sensitivity, which means LUMINEERS will look natural and feel comfortable from the start.
I think I need braces, but I really don't want to go through the inconvenient, unsightly and time-intensive process. Can I get LUMINEERS instead?
In most cases, yes. Your dentist will be able to evaluate your teeth and decide whether orthodontics is necessary. If you do not have a severe problem, LUMINEERS will change the shape and alignment of teeth, making them look straighter and more uniform.
How long will LUMINEERS last?
LUMINEERS has unparalleled longevity. Clinical testing has proven that a LUMINEERS procedure lasts and looks great for up to 20 years. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE also offers a 5-year Warranty and are replaced at no charge. Certain restrictions do apply.
Can LUMINEERS be taken off if I want them removed?
Yes, LUMINEERS are completely reversible. This is largely due to the no reduction in sensitive tooth structure so that the natural teeth are still in tact and strong.
With LUMINEERS, can I still chew gum and eat my favorite sticky foods like corn or candy?
There are no limitations to what you can eat or drink as LUMINEERS are placed over original teeth in the most durable way possible. However, you should continue to visit your dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning to keep your LUMINEERS in good condition and to qualify for the Warranty.
Why have I never heard of LUMINEERS before?
More than 5,000 dentists nationwide use LUMINEERS BY CERINATE and we continue to educate the dental community on this new procedure. Recently, a national advertising campaign has been launched to educate consumers about this noninvasive technique.
