At Hatfield Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we’re committed to offering state-of-the-art cosmetic solutions that meet the needs of our patients in Greer, South Carolina. Among our most sought-after services are Lumineers®, a revolutionary approach to creating a brighter, more beautiful smile without the invasiveness of traditional veneers.

Discover the Brilliance of Lumineers®

Lumineers® are a brand of ultra-thin veneers known for their durability and translucency, closely mimicking the appearance of natural enamel. Unlike traditional veneers that require extensive preparation involving tooth reduction, Lumineers® can be applied with minimal tooth alteration. Dr. LeeAnn Hatfield and Dr. Ryan O'Mally often recommend this treatment for patients seeking cosmetic improvements without significant alterations to their natural teeth.

Why Choose Lumineers®?

The decision to enhance your smile is significant, and choosing the right method is paramount. Lumineers® offer numerous advantages:

  • Minimal Tooth Preparation: Little to no tooth reduction is needed, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
  • Durability: They are made from a patented cerinate porcelain that is both thin and strong, lasting over 20 years with proper care.
  • Quick Transformation: Your new smile can be ready in just two visits to Hatfield Cosmetic & Family Dentistry.
  • Versatility: Lumineers® can correct a wide range of cosmetic issues, including discoloration, chips, and gaps between teeth.

The Path to Your Dream Smile

The journey to achieving your dream smile with Lumineers® involves a few key steps. Initially, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Hatfield to discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate if Lumineers® are suitable for you. Impressions of your teeth will then be taken and sent to a certified Lumineers® laboratory where your custom veneers will be crafted. On your next visit, after ensuring a perfect fit and appearance, Dr. Hatfield will bond the Lumineers® to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile.

Setting Realistic Expectations

While Lumineers® offer an excellent solution for many cosmetic concerns, they may not be right for everyone. During your consultation at Hatfield Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we’ll provide a thorough assessment to determine if this approach aligns with your dental health and aesthetic objectives. It’s also important to discuss maintenance requirements; although Lumineers® are durable, they still demand regular care and good oral hygiene practices to maintain their appearance and longevity.
