Lumineers are perfectly white, evenly spaced teeth that are rarely an accident of nature. Usually, people with perfect teeth have straightened or whitened or undergone other cosmetic dental procedures designed to give them that perfect smile. If your teeth have minor tooth spacing or rotation problems or are worn, misshapen, unusually small, or stained, Lumineers® in Beverly Hills might be the ideal solution.
Lumineers are a type of dental veneer made of a thin porcelain shell bonded to the fronts of your teeth to cover minor cosmetic dental problems. The traditional dental veneer requires filing down and scoring the fronts of your teeth. This process of placing conventional porcelain veneers is irreversible and not appropriate for many patients with minor defects. The filing reduces the thickness of the teeth to accommodate the bulk of the veneers, and scoring the teeth helps provide the rough surface necessary for bonding veneers.
Lumineers are thinner than traditional veneers, which means that the teeth require very little or no filing beyond microscopic scores to help the Lumineers fit better potentially. As a result, your teeth are not permanently altered, and you will not need a local anesthetic to numb the teeth in preparation for grinding them down. This makes Lumineers near you a great alternative to more traditional veneers!

Placing these thin veneers is a minimally invasive process that can typically be accomplished in a few office visits at our office in Beverly Hills. First, you will have a consultation with Dr. Zadeh, where he will examine your teeth. If we determine that this type of veneer is a good solution for you, he will make impressions of your teeth and take X-rays. Then, he will send the impressions to a laboratory that will create your custom veneers.
When the veneers arrive at Dr. Zadeh's office, he will first check them to ensure they fit correctly, and if necessary, he will trim them. Next, he will perform those procedures if your teeth need to be scored or filed slightly to place the veneers. Then, the veneers will be bonded to your teeth with a special light that activates the bonding material. Finally, Dr. Zadeh will check your teeth and bite to ensure the veneers fit correctly and trim away excess bonding material. He will check the veneers to ensure they are bonded correctly and fit well.
