If you are not satisfied with your teeth and need an instant smile makeover, Lumineers may be for you. Similar to traditional veneers, Lumineers are made of exceptionally thin porcelain and applied directly to the unprepared tooth. Unlike conventional porcelain veneers, where the patient’s enamel is filed down, Lumineers are painlessly bonded to the front of the natural tooth; therefore, no anesthesia is required.

 

         

 

Lumineers are purely aesthetic and are utilized to enhance the appearance of slightly stained, chipped, misshapen, worn down, or small teeth. Lumineers are also beneficial for people who want to improve their smile where gaps or spaces exist between their front teeth.

 

It is important to note that just like any dental procedure, Lumineers are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. In fact, they have a limited life span and must be reapplied when wear, chipping, or discoloration occurs.
