What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are a type of ultra-thin dental veneers that are designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth and transform your smile. These veneers are made from high-quality, translucent porcelain material, which is known for its durability and natural-looking appearance.

Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are incredibly thin, typically about the thickness of a contact lens. This ultra-thinness allows them to be applied to your teeth with minimal to no tooth preparation, preserving your natural tooth structure and gum tissue. Lumineers are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely and can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, creating a beautiful, harmonious smile. For those with more complex dental issues, such as those requiring a root canal, Lumineers can be an excellent complementary option to address cosmetic concerns.

With Lumineers, you can achieve a stunning, picture-perfect smile without extensive tooth preparation or invasive procedures. Our experienced dental team will work closely with you to ensure that your Lumineers are customized to meet your specific needs and deliver the smile of your dreams.
