Lumineers
A painless alternative to traditional porcelain veneers
Are your teeth chipped or stained? Would you like to improve your smile permanently, without any painful processes? We are pleased to offer Lumineers as an alternative to traditional porcelain veneers.
What Are Lumineers?
Lumineers are ultra-thin veneers that can be placed over your existing teeth without the need for extensive grinding or shaping. Because they are so thin, Lumineers often require little to no preparation of the natural tooth surface, making the process more comfortable and often reversible.
Lumineers vs. Traditional Veneers
Traditional veneers provide a way to conceal stains, chips, discoloration, and misaligned teeth by covering your actual teeth with a permanent layer of tooth-colored material. Lumineers achieve a similar result with a thinner shell that requires minimal or no tooth reduction. This means less time in the chair and a more conservative approach to transforming your smile.
Benefits of Lumineers
- Ultra-thin — often no drilling or shots required
- Minimally invasive preparation
- Cover stains, chips, and minor misalignment
- Natural-looking, long-lasting results
- Potentially reversible since natural tooth structure is preserved
Dr. Thietten will help you determine whether Lumineers or traditional veneers are the better choice for your smile goals during a personal consultation.
