Hi,<\/p>\n

I’m writing to you because I have several chipped teeth I’d like to take care of.\u00a0 They were covered with bonding material, but over the years it has worn down. I’m interested in a more permanent solution, such as\u00a0 porcelain veneers<\/a> to cover my teeth. I’m not sure about what type of porcelain veneer to get, and am interested in Lumineers because of their convenience. How should I go about finding a dentist to do my veneers? Do I need to go to a dentist especially for Lumineers?<\/p>\n

Thank you,
\nEmi, Boston, Massachusetts<\/p>\n

Hi Emi,<\/p>\n

Thank you for your question. Lumineers<\/a> are made from cerinate porcelain and are thinner than regular veneers. They can be bonded with no tooth preparation (roughing the tooth’s surface) so there is less discomfort and fewer visits required.<\/p>\n

However, not every dentist is skilled at placing Lumineers. You should look for someone who has experience and education directly related to Lumineers. Pushing a dentist outside their comfort zone will not give you a good result.<\/p>\n

Secondly, check the smile gallery of your prospective dentist. Make sure they have samples of Lumineers for you to see. Since Lumineers are placed over your existing tooth, they can appear bulky or thicker than natural teeth.<\/p>\n

Still, finding a cosmetic dentist comfortable with placing Lumineers is the key to getting the best result with Lumineers. For example, at Dr. Hillary Peck’s Phoenix office, she will consult with patients to see if they are a good candidate for Lumineers. If Lumineers are not the best fit for you esthetically, a different brand of porcelain veneer will be suggested. A good cosmetic dentist will consider the patient’s smile design goals and esthetic concerns and not shoehorn in a one-size-fits-all solution. A cosmetic dentist will know whether Lumineers are the best solution for you.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps. Good luck in your search. In your area, you should be able to find a good cosmetic dentist to help you.<\/p>\n
