Lumineers
Transform your smile without altering your natural teeth
What Are Lumineers?
Lumineers are ultra-thin, highly translucent porcelain veneers that offer a painless way to achieve a beautiful smile. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are so thin that they can be applied seamlessly over your existing teeth without requiring the removal of sensitive tooth structure.

The Lumineers Process
1. Initial Consultation
We evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if Lumineers are the right choice for you. Digital imaging helps visualize your potential results.
2. Custom Design
Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to create your custom Lumineers. Each veneer is crafted to match your natural tooth color and desired shape.
3. Preview and Fitting
Your Lumineers are temporarily placed to ensure proper fit, color match, and appearance before final bonding.
4. Final Placement
Once you're satisfied, the Lumineers are permanently bonded to your teeth. The process is comfortable and typically requires no anesthesia.
