Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers

Our Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers Services

For a more attractive smile, for teeth that are chipped, cracked, broken, misshaped, discolored or stained, or even for teeth with unsightly spaces between them, porcelain veneers are one of the most naturally looking options available to improve your smile.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are made from a very thin layer of porcelain (a glass or ceramic type of material) about the thickness of your finger nail or a contact lens. Because porcelain veneers are so thin (0.3mm to 0.5 mm), very little of your tooth needs to be removed as compared with that of a crown. Light is transmitted through them easily giving your teeth a very beautiful and natural appearance. You will never see a dark line with porcelain veneers like you can with some types of crowns.

What is the difference between porcelain veneers and Lumineers?

  • Lumineers is a brand name of porcelain veneers made from patented porcelain called Cerinate.
  • Lumineers require very little or no tooth reduction. Lumineers are an excellent choice when your teeth are slightly set back or need very minor changes. Lumineers are not right everyone.
  • If you require more extensive changes (extreme makeovers etc.) traditional veneers might be the better choice.
  • Each person needs to be evaluated individually to see which type of veneer in best for them. It might even be a combination of both.

    • Long-lasting aesthetics:

    The veneers are made of porcelain or glass, and therefore they are very resistant to stain and do not get darker over time.
