Hi,<\/p>\n

I am interested in getting Lumineers. Should I? Or would I be better off getting something else instead?<\/p>\n

Hi Jodie,<\/p>\n

Lumineers are a brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers<\/a>. They can easily fix minor dental flaws by being cemented over your natural tooth.<\/p>\n

This article will highlight the pros and cons of whether Lumineers are right for you. Be sure to talk over your options with your dentist prior to getting any cosmetic dental work.<\/p>\n

Pros of Lumineers<\/h2>\n

One major reason Lumineers<\/a> are popular is because they are a no-prep veneer, meaning your tooth’s surface does not need preparing or roughening before the Lumineer is cemented in. Due to the lack of prep, Lumineers are a conservative option for a smile makeover.<\/p>\n

Veneers are a good option if you suffer from teeth that are crooked, cracked, discolored, or came in incorrectly. Porcelain veneers can easily fix these problems.<\/p>\n

If your smile is in need of a whitening boost but you’re tired of whitening<\/a> your teeth, or needs to be evened out, porcelain veneers are a non-invasive option for a smile makeover.<\/p>\n

Cons of Lumineers<\/h2>\n

For extensive, restorative dental work, porcelain veneers may not be the best option.<\/p>\n

Another thing to be careful of is the dentist placing your Lumineers. Due to the no-prep nature of the procedure, Lumineers are placed over your natural teeth. In the wrong the hands, Lumineers can appear bulky if placed by an inexperienced cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n

If you want your Lumineers to look like the marketing materials, be sure to check a potential dentist’s smile gallery before agreeing to any work. If you find a dentist you want to work with who is not comfortable working with Lumineers, you may want to opt for a different material for your smile makeover.<\/p>\n
