Why Lumineers Were For Me

I think the first thing I should mention in this blog is why I wanted a new smile. When I was about 7 years old, I went over the handle bars of my tricycle and thank goodness my 2 front teeth broke my fall. Well actually, they broke. So for almost my entire life, I have lived with fillings in my two front teeth. Through no fault of any dentist, my fillings would chip off all the time from the wear and tear I put them through. Unfortunately, they were just fillings and well, that’s what they do when they’re on your front teeth. I am so afraid of needles, the thought of having my fillings replaced with crowns terrified me. So what did I do? I lived with my 2 front teeth the way they were. And wouldn’t you know, as we get older our teeth naturally darken. So I was not only faced with teeth that chipped off constantly, but my natural tooth surface and the color of my old fillings didn’t match anymore!

What’s a girl to do?

Dr. Russell Ross at Brazos Family Dentistry in Waco, TX decided to start offering our patients this awesome new treatment called Lumineers. I could not believe what I was seeing……No Shots, no sensitivity, and all they had to do to get me started was take a mold of my teeth. Wow, that’s it?? So I went from chipped and discolored teeth to a beautiful new smile. I can’t say enough the change it’s made in how I feel about myself. I now smile when I talk to people! I don’t think I ever did much of that before my Lumineers.

I can say without a doubt I’m a fan of Lumineers. They changed my life!
