Lumineers
Lumineers are an excellent choice for patients wishing to hide discoloration or chipped and misshapen teeth, while creating a beautiful, natural smile. They are a type of veneer that cover teeth with Cerinate Porcelain, a patented material that is extremely strong and ultra thin (as thin as a contact lens, approximately .3 mm). Because lumineers are so thin and durable, they can often be placed with minimal or no tooth preparation.

Veneers
A veneer is a thin covering that is placed over teeth to make cosmetic changes. They are bonded to the teeth in a similar fashion to no prep veneers such as lumineers. We use them when replacing old traditional veneers and as a more conservative alternative to full porcelain crowns. Conserving as much natural tooth structure is always a priority.
