What Are Lumineers?

The Beauty of Veneers, Gentler

Lumineers are very thin, custom-designed porcelain covers that bond to the front of your teeth. They improve the appearance of your smile while preserving your natural tooth structure.

A Minimally Invasive Option

Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers typically require little to no enamel removal. Treatment is more comfortable and helps maintain the integrity of your natural teeth.

Lumineers vs Traditional Veneers

Lumineers are thinner than standard porcelain veneers, allowing a reversible or near-reversible treatment with less preparation. Both give excellent results — we'll help you choose.
