What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are a type of veneer ( a thin layer of material placed over a tooth) created by a laboratory in California. They are available in several types of materials which allows the flexibility to use specific materials that best conform to your mouth. They are designed and made with the help of a computer or can be hand made to create a more customized look.

Good oral health equals good heart health.

Good oral health equals good overall health. The data is in from multiple sources such as the Mayo Clinic, the AMA and more. In particular there appears to be a link between good oral health and a healthy heart. Bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream and may directly infect blood vessel walls, making them susceptible for plaque deposition. Oral infections can also lower your immunity and make you more susceptible to secondary infection. It's a new year, never too late to improve. Contact our office and see what we can do for you.
