Like traditional porcelain veneers, Lumineers are custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front-facing part of your teeth. However, Lumineers are much thinner than porcelain veneers. Because they are only about as thick as a contact lens, a significantly smaller amount of enamel is removed. As a result, they are an ideal solution for patients with sensitive teeth. This minimal tooth preparation technique also means that you can enjoy an expedited treatment time and typically experience less sensitivity after your treatment.
To determine whether traditional veneers or Lumineers are right for you, our doctors will first review your cosmetic concerns. Because Lumineers are much thinner than traditional veneers, it is important to remember that they may not be appropriate for all cases such as deep, dark stains or larger gaps.
