What Is Lumineers

Lumineers are advanced, ultra-thin veneers that are placed directly over your teeth to give you a new whiter, beautiful smile. Unlike traditional porcelain veneers, Lumineers are usually placed without removing any tooth structure, no shots, no grinding, no pain.This makes Lunineers especially safe and convenient for patients with sensitive teeth. Lumineers offer the perfect solution to whiten your smile, mask stains, fix chipped or cracked teeth, and close gaps. Even if you have crooked teeth, in many cases Lumineers can help align your smile and are a great alternative to braces and other orthodontic treatment.

Where To Get Lumineers?

You can get your Lumineers in the Metairie area at our Metairie office. The process involves just two painless dental appointments. During your first visit, you and your Metairie Dentist will determine the shade of white that is best for you and an impression of your teeth is made. The impression is sent to DenMat Studios to custom make Lumineers specifically for your smile. On your second visit, the Lumineers are carefully fitted to your teeth and bonded in place, giving you a beautiful white, straight smile.

Lumineers FAQs

  • How are Lumineers different from traditional veneers?

    Lumineers are unique in that they are ultra-thin (approximately 0.2 mm) and highly translucent, allowing them to replicate the natural appearance of enamel. While traditional veneers are much thicker, requiring the grinding down of your original tooth structure, Lumineers are so thin that little to no tooth reduction is necessary. Additionally, the durability of Lumineers allows them to resist wear and remain resilient to last over 20 years.

  • Are there any other Lumineers?

    No. Lumineers and Lumineers in LUMITray are exclusive, one-of-a-kind products of Lumineers Smile Design Studio at Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of professional dental materials.

  • Is the Lumineers procedure painful?

    Rest assured, the Lumineers procedure is a completely pain-free way to reshape and permanently whiten your teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, in most cases you will get a perfect fit without shots or grinding down the original tooth structure. Once the procedure is completed, there is no post placement discomfort or sensitivity, which means Lumineers will look natural and feel comfortable from the moment they are placed.

  • I think I need braces, but I really don't want to go through the inconvenient, unsightly, and time-intensive process. Can I get Lumineers instead?

    In most cases, YES! Your dentist will be able to evaluate your teeth and decide whether orthodontics is necessary. If you do not have a severe problem, then Lumineers will reshape your teeth, making them look straighter and more uniform, as well as whiter, something you don't get with braces.

  • How long will Lumineers last?

    Clinical testing has proven that a Lumineers smile lasts and looks great for over 20 years. Lumineers also offer a limited lifetime warranty that allows for a replacement of each unit at no charge. Some restrictions apply.

  • How long does the procedure take?

    The Lumineers process takes only 2 visits to your Dentist. The placement of Lumineers on the second visit takes, on average, only about one hour.

  • What's involved with a Lumineers procedure?

    On the first visit, your Dentist will create a precise mold. Then you and your dentist will determine the shade of white that is right for you. After your first visit, your Dentist will send the mold off to Lumineers Smile Design Studio for your custom Lumineers to be created. With Lumineers, you don't have to wear temporaries. When your dentist receives your custom Lumineers, they are checked for fit and shade. Then during your second visit, your Lumineers are painlessly applied without shots or drilling of sensitive tooth structures.

  • With Lumineers, can I still chew gum and eat my favorite sticky foods?

    Drink and eat what you want with confidence because Lumineers are applied in the most durable way possible. However, Lumineers will not replace good hygiene. You should continue to visit your Dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning to keep your Lumineers, as well as of your teeth and gums, looking their best!

  • Can Lumineers be taken off if I want them removed?

    Yes, Lumineers are completely reversible because there's no grinding down of healthy tooth structure in most cases. Your natural teeth are still intact and strong.

  • How long have Lumineers been around?

    Lumineers have been improving smiles for over 20 years. In fact, more than 13,000 Dentists nationwide use Lumineers and over 250,000 people already have Lumineers…of course, you'd never know because they look so perfect and natural.

  • Does getting porcelain veneers hurt?

    Getting porcelain veneers is a painless cosmetic procedure that usually requires little or no anesthesia as the Dentist prepares your teeth for the veneers. You and your dentist will choose the shade (color) for your new smile and the Dentist will take an impression to send to the dental laboratory so they can custom make your porcelain veneers. At the second visit, your Dentist will do a final fit and bond the veneers to your teeth. As soon as the Dentist is done you will have a spectacular new smile to show the world!
