That’s why we’re proud to make Lumineers available to our patients who are interested in dental veneers — they’re a wonderful alternative to the treatment that leaves your teeth healthy and whole.

LUMINEERS ARE A TERRIFIC ALTERNATIVE TO DENTAL VENEERS
To understand the benefits of Lumineers, you first need to know a little bit about traditional veneers. They’re thin, tooth-shaped coverings that are bonded directly onto the front surface of imperfect teeth. Reserved only for the teeth that show when you smile, dental veneers instantly enhance or improve the size, shape, and overall appearance of damaged teeth.
The thing about traditional dental veneers is they’re permanently attached to your teeth — meaning once you’ve got them, there’s no going back. And because this option requires shaving a bit of the natural tooth enamel, you’ll always need some sort of covering following veneers.
Lumineers, however, can be applied to the surface of your teeth without any preparation whatsoever — meaning they can be removed later, and your natural teeth will look just like they always have!
WHAT LUMINEERS FIX
Just like traditional dental veneers, Lumineers can work to correct a number of cosmetic issues in the front teeth. Some of the most common include:
- Severely stained or discolored teeth that haven’t responded to teeth whitening
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Misshapen teeth, or those that appear too short or stubby
- Slightly gapped teeth
- Misaligned teeth
BENEFITS OF LUMINEERS OVER TRADITIONAL VENEERS
If you’re interested in making big-time smile improvements all at once, you really can’t go wrong with any type of dental veneer — but there are some advantages to choosing Lumineers.
- Because Lumineers don’t require any tooth preparation, you can always change your mind later knowing your teeth underneath look just fine.
- No tooth preparation also means no need for anesthesia during placement.
- The procedure for Lumineers is faster than that for traditional porcelain veneers.
