However,  I want to caution you against choosing the brand. Instead, you should carefully choose the dentist and let them choose the brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some dentists place <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-lumineers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Lumineers (opens in a new tab)\">Lumineers<\/a>. Others prefer different brands. What you want is an expert cosmetic dentist who knows the pros and cons of each brand and can create a stunning smile for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring For Your Lumineers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever brand of <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"porcelain veneers (opens in a new tab)\">porcelain veneers<\/a> you get, there are things that are important for you to know to keep them in great shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make sure your hygienist understands cosmetic dentistry:  Not all hygienists are familiar with cosmetic work. It is important during your checkup and cleanings that your hygienist doesn&#8217;t use anything like a Prophy Jet or acidulated fluoride. Either one of these will damage the glazing and cause your veneers to pick up stains.<\/li><li>Keep up with your home care:  Being stain-resistant doesn&#8217;t mean you can get away with not taking care of your teeth. You&#8217;ll have to brush regularly as well as floss.  Some dentists recommend you use Supersmile toothpaste, which is specifically designed for cosmetic work. <\/li><li>Protect your teeth from grinding:  If you grind your teeth, you&#8217;ll want to make sure you get a night guard. Consistent grinding can cause your veneers (and natural teeth) to chip. A night guard protects them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding that Expert Cosmetic Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic dentistry isn&#8217;t a recognized specialty. Because of that, any dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist regardless of their skill level.  There are countless cosmetic dentistry horror stories by patients who&#8217;ve thought they were getting a gorgeous smile with a qualified cosmetic dentist only to leave heartbroken and disappointed with the results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of that, Dr. Hall, who runs the mynewsmile.com website, decided to make a recommended list of skilled cosmetic dentists. He screens them for both technical training as well as their artistry.  Anyone he recommends can give you a gorgeous smile you&#8217;ll be thrilled to share with the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"New Orleans Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">New Orleans Dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m considering getting a smile makeover with Lumineers.
