Lumineers / Veneers

Lumineers are unique in that they are ultra-thin (approximately 0.2 mm) and highly translucent, allowing them to replicate the natural appearance of enamel. While traditional veneers are much thicker, requiring the grinding down of your original tooth structure, Lumineers are so thin that little to no tooth reduction is necessary. Additionally, the durability of Lumineers allows them to resist wear and remain resilient to last over 20 years.

No. Lumineers and Lumineers in LUMITray are exclusive, one-of-a-kind products of Lumineers Smile Design Studio at Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of professional dental materials.

Rest assured, the Lumineers procedure is a completely pain-free way to reshape and permanently whiten your teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, in most cases you will get a perfect fit without shots or grinding down the original tooth structure. Once the procedure is completed, there is no post placement discomfort or sensitivity, which means Lumineers will look natural and feel comfortable from the moment they are placed.

In most cases, YES! Your dentist will be able to evaluate your teeth and decide whether orthodontics is necessary. If you do not have a severe problem, then Lumineers will reshape your teeth, making them look straighter and more uniform, as well as whiter, something you don't get with braces.

Clinical testing has proven that a Lumineers smile lasts and looks great for over 20 years. Lumineers also offer a limited lifetime warranty that allows for a replacement of each unit at no charge. Some restrictions apply.

The Lumineers process takes only 2 visits to your Dentist. The placement of Lumineers on the second visit takes, on average, only about one hour.

On the first visit, your Dentist will create a precise mold. Then you and your dentist will determine the shade of white that is right for you. After your first visit, your Dentist will send the mold off to Lumineers Smile Design Studio for your custom Lumineers to be created. With Lumineers, you don't have to wear temporaries. When your dentist receives your custom Lumineers, they are checked for fit and shade. Then during your second visit, your Lumineers are painlessly applied without shots or drilling of sensitive tooth structures.

Drink and eat what you want with confidence because Lumineers are applied in the most durable way possible. However, Lumineers will not replace good hygiene. You should continue to visit your Dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning to keep your Lumineers, as well as of your teeth and gums, looking their best!

Yes, Lumineers are completely reversible because there's no grinding down of healthy tooth structure in most cases. Your natural teeth are still intact and strong.

Lumineers have been improving smiles for over 20 years. In fact, more than 13,000 Dentists nationwide use Lumineers and over 250,000 people already have Lumineers…of course, you'd never know because they look so perfect and natural.

Getting porcelain veneers is a painless cosmetic procedure that usually requires little or no anesthesia as the Dentist prepares your teeth for the veneers. You and your dentist will choose the shade (color) for your new smile and the Dentist will take an impression to send to the dental laboratory so they can custom make your porcelain veneers. At the second visit, your Dentist will do a final fit and bond the veneers to your teeth. As soon as the Dentist is done you will have a spectacular new smile to show the world!
