LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is a terrific cosmetic solution for permanently stained, chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth, or even to revitalize old crown and bridgework. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is a porcelain veneer that can be made as thin as a contact lens and is placed over existing teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they do not require painful removal of sensitive tooth structure.
Dentists apply these contact lens-thin “smile shapers” to teeth without any grinding or shaving, and transform misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally beautiful smile. LUMINEERS can even be placed on porcelain bridgework and crowns with the new Revitalize Kit, available from your dentist. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE provides the best of both worlds – they are ultra-thin, yet super strong for a radiant smile that resists any cracking that can damage restorations. LUMINEERS are completely reversible. Get your perfect smile today!

Every tooth has two sections: a crown, the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, and one or more roots, which anchor the teeth within the jaw. Each tooth has three basic layers: an outer layer of hard enamel (which protects the crown) or cementum (which covers the root), a middle layer of softer ...
The bacteria in plaque produce acids that erode tooth enamel, eventually creating a hole, or cavity, in the tooth surface. Left untreated, this decay can spread to the interior of the tooth, and might lead to the need for a crown, a root canal, or even extraction. When caught early, your dentist can ...
