What Are Lumineers Porcelain Veneers?

Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers designed to improve the appearance of teeth without the need for any tooth shaving or enamel reduction. Measuring only about 0.2 mm in thickness, Lumineers are bonded directly onto the surface of the teeth and are completely non-invasive, meaning there is no drilling, no injections, and no permanent alteration of the natural tooth structure.

Unlike traditional veneers, which often require reshaping or trimming of the original tooth, Lumineers preserve the full integrity of your enamel. This makes the procedure reversible and ideal for patients who want to enhance their smile while maintaining their natural teeth untouched. Lumineers are made from patented Cerinate porcelain, which is both incredibly thin and highly durable, resisting stains and maintaining color over many years.

Lumineers are commonly used for:

• Discolored teeth that don't respond well to whitening

• Chipped or slightly cracked front teeth

• Small gaps or misalignment in the smile line

• Worn or irregularly shaped teeth

• Patients seeking a more youthful and harmonious smile without extensive procedures

The application process is simple and usually completed in two visits: one for digital impression and smile design, and a second for the final fitting. Since there is no pain or discomfort, patients can return to daily activities immediately after the procedure.
