How Lumineers® Work
Lumineers® are a brand of veneers that have become an increasingly popular method to improve the appearance of patients’ smiles. They are very thin layers that are attached to the tooth’s surface, similar to dental veneers. The ultra thin nature of Lumineers® allow our specialists to attach them without compromising the tooth’s natural surface. Patients choose Lumineers® to resolve the following issues:
- Broken or fractured teeth.
- Discolored teeth.
- Stained teeth that cannot be improved with whitening.
- Unsightly gapped teeth.
The Lumineers® Process
Lumineers® unlocks the full potential of your smile in just two visits.
At the initial consultation, impressions, and photos of your teeth capture everything our team needs to create a masterpiece. We send the records to a Lumineer lab that crafts custom veneers for you.
Once the veneers are handcrafted, we’ll place them with bonding after evaluating the fit and appearance.
