What Are Veneers and Lumineers?
Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells made of porcelain or resin composite that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are designed to correct imperfections like discoloration, chips, or gaps. Veneers are highly customizable and can be used to enhance both the appearance and function of your smile.
Lumineers are a specific brand of veneers that are ultra-thin and require minimal preparation of the natural tooth. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are often so thin that no tooth reduction is necessary, making them a less invasive option for patients who want a more conservative approach.
How Do Veneers and Lumineers Work?
Both veneers and Lumineers work by covering the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. The process typically begins with a consultation, where your dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals for your smile.
For traditional veneers, a small amount of enamel is usually removed to make space for the shell. Impressions of your teeth are taken, and a custom veneer is crafted to fit your smile perfectly. Lumineers, on the other hand, often require little to no preparation of the natural tooth. Once the veneers or Lumineers are ready, they are bonded to your teeth, and you’ll have a renewed smile.
