What are Lumineers?
Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers that can transform your smile with minimal to no reduction of your natural tooth structure. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are as thin as a contact lens, allowing them to be placed directly over your existing teeth while still looking completely natural. This conservative approach preserves more of your natural tooth structure while delivering beautiful, long-lasting results.
How do Lumineers Work?
The Lumineers process begins with a comprehensive consultation using our advanced digital imaging technology. Dr. Singh will use our 2024 CBCT scanner and Trios digital scanning system to create precise images of your teeth and design your new smile. For anxious patients, our therapy dog Whiskey can be present during consultations, and we offer IV sedation for complete comfort during treatment.
Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers typically require minimal to no preparation of your natural teeth. Using our digital impressions, custom Lumineers are crafted to your exact specifications. Once ready, they are bonded to your teeth using special adhesives. The entire process is conservative, often reversible, and can be completed with sedation if desired for maximum comfort.
