Lumineers in Gravelbourg

Lumineers

Lumineers are a specific type of veneers that require less preparation of the teeth to apply them. They’re sometimes referred to as “no-prep” veneers. They’re made of ultra-thin porcelain and are much thinner than traditional veneers. Many people like the versatility of Lumineers, which don’t last as long as veneers, but can be reversed if desired. They are often a little less expensive than veneers, but there are some considerations when deciding between the two (or other treatment options).

Veneers or Lumineers?

Many people wonder about the differences between traditional veneers and Lumineers and why they should choose one over another. We’re here to help you make that decision! Our dental team can assess your teeth and give you specific recommendations for your cosmetic treatments. We’ll be able to give you advice suited to your teeth and lifestyle. For example, Lumineers are less effective at covering severely stained or discoloured teeth, so in this case, we might recommend veneers. No matter what treatment you’d like to pursue, you can always depend on us for realistic, down-to-earth knowledge and advice.

What Does “No-Prep” Mean?

Traditional veneers can require several appointments and several weeks to be fully created and applied. Meanwhile, Lumineers usually take less time to manufacture and prepare. Because they are much thinner than traditional veneers, the tooth enamel does not need to be removed in order to place Lumineers on the teeth. This means that Lumineers could be removed with minimal damage to the teeth, and wouldn’t need to be replaced.
