FAQ
What makes Lumineers different from traditional veneers?
Lumineers are a brand of ultra-thin veneers that require minimal or no tooth preparation compared to traditional veneers. They are designed to provide a natural-looking enhancement without the need for removing much of the tooth enamel, making them a less invasive option.
How long do Lumineers last?
Lumineers typically last between 10 to 20 years with proper care. They are durable and resistant to staining, but maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits will help extend their lifespan.
Can Lumineers be removed if necessary?
Lumineers can be removed if needed, as they are designed to be a reversible cosmetic option. However, removal might involve some alteration to the natural teeth, so it is essential to discuss this with our dentists before proceeding.
Will I experience discomfort with Lumineers?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the placement of Lumineers. The process is generally less invasive than traditional veneers, reducing the likelihood of significant pain. Any minor sensitivity typically resolves within a few days.
