Question:
I heard that the Smile in the City Dental Group is very helpful and effective. It is located in New York. Ever since i can remember, i always had tetracyclined stained teeth and before prom, i want to get Lumineers by Cerinate. I was just wondering what is the average cost of a luimineer? If you answer, can you please tell me your situation because i heard that the price ranges if you have mild - severe problems. thank you!! enjoy your day <3
Answers:
Lumineers are the high end of porcelain veneers. The cost will be the same no matter how bad the staining is. Just in case there are other situations, I recommend you let the dentist decide on the type that is best for you.
Not sure if lumineers will work.
Tetracycline staining is one of the darkest and deepest stains out there.
It takes about 6 months of continuous bleaching to get them out.
Lumineers are thin and are best when they take the color of the tooth beneath.
If you want them to be opaque so you don't see the color underneath, then they need to be thick and not toothlike.
Crowns with white cores (zirconium) may be best.
keep smiling,
