Veneers and Lumineers

Veneers are a treatment option to cover discolored or chipped teeth. They can correct the color, and sometimes the shape, of your teeth. Veneers are permanently glued on your teeth just like crowns. If you are not confident in your smile because they are yellow, stained, or chipped, you might want to consider veneers. The results are usually remarkable. You will get sparkling white and glossy teeth. Veneers are good cosmetic solutions for severely stained or damaged teeth. Traditional veneers last 8 to 10 years on average, depending on how well they are taken care of.

Lumineers

Lumineer is a brand of veneer that requires less teeth preparation. They are potentially reversible, but they may not last as long as veneers. They are thinner and more translucent, thus not as effective on covering heavy stains. Lumineers are made from ultra-thin laminate, so the teeth only need minimal grinding for preparation. If your teeth don’t have severe discoloration or damage, Lumineer is a good option. Just like veneers, our dentist will customize a set of lumineers to make your teeth whiter and straighter.
