How to Repair Lumineers

Lumineers are a new development in the dental industry that provide a topical application of a veneer that is made specifically for you. Lumineers by Cerinate®, are Den-Mat's alternative to traditional porcelain veneers. As opposed to the traditional veneer that requires injections and lengthy procedures, the Lumineer design does not need any of this. The Lumineer application is completely reversible, as well, to provide the peace of mind in knowing you can adjust the Lumineers or repair them if any damage occurs.

Instructions

    • 1

      Visit with the professional that applied the Lumineers to your teeth. Discuss your concern if the Lumineer is chipped, cracked or damaged.

    • 2

      Have your dentist drill away the damaged portion of the topical Lumineer, until the tooth is showing.

    • 3

      Have your dentist clean away any debris or residue from the removal of the Lumineer surface. Allow the area to dry completely before applying another Lumineer application to the tooth.

    • 4

      Allow your dentist to polish the tooth to rid it of any surface material. Your dentist will then apply a new Lumineer application to the original tooth. Allow the treatment to set according to your dentist's instructions. Have your dentist polish and shape the Lumineer to match the other teeth to finish.
