Lumineers
Thin, natural-looking veneers that refresh your smile without extensive tooth preparation.
What to know
Lumineers, explained.
What it is, how it works and how it helps, in plain words.
Lumineers are a brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers. Because they're so thin, they can often be placed with little or no removal of natural enamel.
Your dentist takes impressions or a digital scan, and the veneers are custom-made by a dental lab to fit your teeth. At a second visit, they're tried in, checked for color and fit, and bonded directly onto the front of your teeth, in many cases without numbing.
Lumineers can brighten discolored teeth, close minor gaps, and even out chipped or slightly misshapen teeth while preserving more of your natural tooth structure. Since little or no enamel is removed, the treatment is more conservative than traditional veneers.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Common questions about lumineers.
Lumineers are thinner and usually require little or no enamel removal, while traditional veneers typically require reshaping the tooth first. Traditional veneers can sometimes do more for teeth that are very discolored or out of position.
They tend to work best for teeth that are small, slightly gapped, chipped, or stained. If your teeth are crowded, very dark, or stick out, another option may give a better result, and your dentist can help you compare.
Because little or no enamel is removed, each veneer adds a small amount of thickness to the tooth. With careful planning they look natural, and your dentist will tell you honestly if your teeth are better suited to another approach.
