What is a lumineer?

Lumineers are thin tooth-shaped pieces of porcelain that bond directly to the front of your teeth. They have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their durability, natural appearance, and versatility. LUMINEERS are an excellent option if you are looking to achieve the appearance of perfectly straight teeth without braces or if your teeth are severely stained or chipped.

Advantages of lumineers

The lumineers procedure is more conservative than veneers or crowns. The lumineers process removes less tooth structure than veneers, and preserves more tooth structure than a crown.

The lumineers procedure also tends to be faster than other cosmetic procedures. Most lumineers procedures can be completed in just two visits.

Is lumineers right for me?

Lumineers are appropriate for patients looking to disguise stains, fractures and teeth misalignment. The veneers are wafer-thin and made of porcelain, a stain-resistant material.

The patients have to be committed to caring for their veneers because, like other cosmetic restorations, the lumineers are not permanent and may need to be replaced in the future.

Lumineers vs. traditional veneers

Traditional veneers often require removal of enamel before placement. This permanently alters the appearance of the teeth. Lumineers are like traditional veneers, but require little or no preparation. This makes lumineers a more conservative choice than traditional veneers.
