GRAND DENTAL STUDIO OFFERS LUMINEERS™ BY CERINATE®

(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) – May 15, 2006. LUMINEERS™ BY CERINATE® has taken the beauty industry by storm as the only pain-free and permanent cosmetic dentistry procedure available today, dramatically improving a smile with a minimal amount of invasion. Michael K. Kirk , D.D.S. is one of a small number of dentists in Oklahoma certified to use this new technology.

Unlike traditional veneers, which require the removal of sensitive tooth structure, necessitating painful anesthesia shots, LUMINEERS are contact lens-thin smile enhancers that provide instant teeth straightening, transforming misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally beautiful white smile that looks perfect for every individual. Because LUMINEERS are minimally invasive, they are actually reversible – if a patient doesn’t like the results, they can be removed with their original teeth virtually untouched.

“There is a place for LUMINEERS in dentistry. While traditional veneers are still a better alternative for some patients. LUMINEERS can be an alternative for most patients. I perform a lot of both types of veneers. I am impressed by LUMINEERS quality and more importantly my patients are very satisfied with the results,” stated Michael K. Kirk, D.D.S.

LUMINEERS can provide instant teeth straightening. They are a convenient substitute for braces and other orthodontics, depending on bite severity. The procedure may also be used on worn teeth to strengthen them and prevent further wear. LUMINEERS can even be placed over crowns to improve esthetics and help rejuvenate a smile. All LUMINEERS come with a 5-year limited warranty. LUMINEERS can only be made from patented Cerinate porcelain, available only at Cerinate Smile Design Studios in Santa Maria, California.

Without the removal of painful tooth structure, LUMINEERS requires no anesthesia because the procedure is virtually pain-free. Since the process is so simple and gentle, the sensitivity usually felt after a traditional veneer procedure is eliminated.

In just two or three visits to the dentist, LUMINEERS creates a custom-made smile clinically proven to last up to 20 years. LUMINEERS are the best of both worlds - ultra thin, yet super strong for a radiant smile that resists any micro-cracking, which can damage restorations.

About LUMINEERS: LUMINEERS™ BY CERINATE® are a product of Santa Maria, California-based Den-Mat Corporation.
