Enhance Your Smile with Lumineers

Understanding Lumineers®

Lumineers® are a unique type of veneer crafted to improve the look of your teeth. Thinner than traditional veneers, they are made from a patented porcelain material that offers exceptional strength and durability. Despite their lighter profile, Lumineers can effectively tackle a range of dental concerns just like conventional veneers.
  • Minor to moderate tooth discoloration
  • Unusually shaped teeth
  • Smaller-than-average teeth
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Worn-down teeth
Due to their thin design, Lumineers may not be the best choice for more significant cosmetic concerns, such as severe discoloration or staining. We will carefully evaluate your needs to determine if Lumineers are the right option for you.

Advantages of Lumineers

With many advancements in dentistry, patients now have a variety of options for cosmetic treatments. Lumineers are an innovative and exciting choice, though they may not be ideal for everyone.
Lumineers provide several attractive benefits, including:
  • Thinner than traditional veneers
  • Translucent, closely resembling natural tooth enamel
  • Require minimal to no tooth preparation
  • Applied with little to no discomfort
  • No post-placement sensitivity or discomfort
  • Typically removable by a professional, allowing for reversibility
  • Usually completed in just two dental visits

Comparing Veneers and Lumineers

With traditional veneers, a small amount of natural enamel is removed from your tooth to ensure a proper fit, which can cause mild discomfort and makes the procedure irreversible. In contrast, Lumineers typically require minimal to no tooth preparation, allowing for a more reversible treatment and reducing the risk of issues like tooth sensitivity.

While traditional veneers often require three visits and the use of temporary veneers between appointments, Lumineers usually only take two visits, eliminating the need for temporary restorations.

Both Lumineers and traditional veneers are strong, but neither is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental cleanings can help extend the lifespan of your veneers.
