Dental Lumineers in Turkey

Dental lumineers are able to be placed on all the front teeth. Patients can have 8 or 10 visible teeth in their smile line also depending on the genetic predisposition of patients, some can have 2 or even 4 premolars per jaw. Dentares is able to fit up to 20 lumineers depending on patients condition.

Patients that have an open bite and class 1 & 2 bite are suitable for dental lumineers. Patients with these types of bites are less likely to clash their restorations in a way that would chip or break the lumineers. Patients may also wish to first have orthodontic treatment to fix bite issues before seeking dental lumineer treatment.

Dental lumineers are also a great option for patients with diastema (abnormally larger gaps between teeth), patients who are unable to improve the whiteness of their natural teeth. Slight teeth alignment deviation issues, uneven smile line, small chipping, the resizing of small lateral incisors and fractured or cracked teeth.

Dental veneers are purely an aesthetic restoration option and so patients with certain conditions would be better suited to have crowns or veneers. Patients with cavities and other damages to the back side of their teeth could consider crowns, as the lumineers only protect the front of teeth. Patients that present these varying bite issues: a deep bite, class 3 bite, crossbite, and straight bite (when bottom and top teeth meet at the tip of the teeth). With these bite issues, the lumineers have a high probability to clash resulting in breakages and fractures.

If the patient took tetracycline medications as a child, their teeth are heavily stained and would be better suited to have dental crowns.

The most ideal patients for dental lumineers treatment have small or large gaps between teeth (diastema), an uneven smile line, minor chipping, and are unable to improve the whiteness of their smile. Patients who have healthy teeth but aren’t comfortable with their smile that just require some minor changes that make a world of difference.

The greatest benefit of dental lumineers in Turkey is that it does not require invasive tooth preparation. This makes lumineer application and reapplication super quick and easy. It’s easy to see how dental lumineers can be such a popular option for dental tourists. Other benefits include:

• Biocompatibility: The reaction of dental adhesive and lumineer ceramic material against the natural tooth and gingiva is minimal.
• Strength: Due to the compression method in production and heat treatment, lumineers are incredibly durable
• Thinness: Lumineers are 0.2mm in thickness which makes them feel incredibly natural.
• Longevity: The expected lifetime of lumineers is between 15 to 20 years, and additional 5 years more than other crown/veneer materials.
• Reversible: Lumineers are able to be removed without damaging the natural tooth. They’re also able to be replaced easily without causing damage.
• Translucency: The ceramic glass material gives an identical translucency attribute to our natural enamel.
• Enamel replacement: Enamel can become damaged by foods, beverages, and medicines. There is no healing the natural enamel
• Cavity-proof: The surface of lumineer veneer is slippery and non-porous, rejecting bacteria and plaque to settle.
• No anaesthetic required: the treatment is non-invasive

Although the lumineer is cavity-proof, the natural tooth underneath is not. Bacteria and plaque can attach between the gums and from behind the tooth. The back-side of the tooth is not covered by lumineer so proper dental hygiene is still required to avoid cavities.

Dental lumineers are as thin as contact lens and so the translucency is maximised. This isn’t good news for discoloured or stained teeth. A full whiteness cannot be achieved in this case.

When cheap materials are used or the laboratory isn’t set up for compression method lumineers, chipping and fractures are more likely to occur. Dentares uses only high quality ceramic material and we use our own private laboratory. In this way, we are able to control the quality of every step of the manufacturing process.

Dental lumineers are sometimes mistakenly interchangeably used to describe other veneer treatments such as a dental veneer or laminate veneer. When in fact, lumineers are the only veneer option that does not require tooth preparation. Lumineers are also usually 0.2mm thick whereas laminate veneers can be between 0.3 and 0.5mm thick. Lumineers are made of a ceramic and then fired in an oven. Laminate veneer is made from porcelain and milled by the CAD/CAM method.

Dental lumineers in Turkey are incredibly durable for their thickness and material. The life expectancy of dental lumineers is up to 15-20 years. Provided that patients continue to use proper dental hygiene techniques and regular dental cleans. Lumineers are metal free so the colour is longer lasting than traditional metal veneers.

After dental lumineer treatment in Turkey, patients should use a soft-bristled brush or square headed electric toothbrush. Frequent brushing 3 times a day after meals, regular flossing and use of non-alcoholic mouthwash is the recommended standard for personal oral hygiene. Patients should schedule regular check ups with their dentist every 6 months for a deep clean to get rid of hard to reach plaque and tartar. Be aware about the onset of sensitivity. This could be a warning about forming cavities. Increase oral hygiene practices to see a reduction in sensitivity. If it persists, it’s best to see a dentist.

Dental lumineers are a great option to protect damaged enamel and reduce the risk of plaque forming. Bacteria and food particles slip off the ceramic surface and protect against acidic foods and beverages. For these reasons, dental lumineers in Turkey can be quite healthy for oral health.

The dental lumineer preparation process is quick in Turkey, compared to other dental veneer preparations. Lumineers require no shaving or filing to the natural tooth so the dentist just needs to spend time with the patient and understand their needs, take measurements and impressions for a 3D model. The laboratory technicians work within the dentists measurements and requests to virtually create your lumineers. Once the virtual model is rendered thanks to CAD technology. The compression machine is loaded with ceramic material and produces each lumineer individually. The lumineer is then ready to be applied in a matter of 3 days.
