would the luminars strengthen my teeth stoping further chips how long do they last?
Q. I need to replace two vaniers on my front teeth, as they’ve been in-place for over 20 years, and are blackening around the top edges where the bonding material was used orginally. However they are slightly prominent compared to my other teeth as the stand farer forward, than my other teeth, would this be due to old technology and would ne ones be much thinner or would I have to have all the front ones vaneered. I would also like to have Lunineers fitted on my teeth as a couple of my bottom teeth are starting to chip as they are warning away – no major chips just small ones on the edges, would the luminars strengthen my teeth stoping further chips and if so how long do they last? Thanks
A. Hi, many thanks for your email, older veneers where traditionally much thicker so to have your existing veneers replaced with lumineers would bring the teeth back into the arch more, it may also be required to prepare the teeth more to help bring them inline. lumineers will generally not stengthen the teeth which are chipped but will help them from chipping more.
generally veneers last around 10- 15 years on average.
