Lumineers vs. traditional dental veneers

Lumineers is a newer type of veneer available to cosmetic dentists today.  These remarkably thin veneers can require the removal of little or even no tooth structure, meaning no more grinding down of teeth before the veneers are placed.

Only a dentist can tell you for sure whether Lumineers are right for your teeth.  However, if they are an option for you, they offer several advantages over older veneers.

Firstly, they are thinner and, as mentioned before, save you the need to have your teeth ground down, as was necessary with older, thicker veneers.  This allows for pain-free placement of the Lumineers and a very pleasant experience overall.

Secondly, since there is no grinding of teeth, Lumineers can be “removalble,” meaning they can possibly be removed in the future and your smile restored to its previous state.  WIth older veneers, since teeth were ground down, simply removing them veneers was never a possibility.

So schedule a consultation today and see if Lumineers might be the right way for you to get a brand new smile and a brand new look in just one sitting.
