Lumineers at Pacific Dental Care

Lumineers are custom-designed porcelain veneers that are approximately 0.2 mm thick—much thinner than traditional veneers. Their ultra-thin design often allows placement without removing significant enamel, giving patients a more comfortable and conservative cosmetic option.

Why Patients Choose Lumineers

Lumineers are ideal for patients who want dramatic cosmetic improvement without shots, drilling of sensitive tooth structure, or lengthy preparation. They typically offer the same longevity as traditional veneers while preserving more of your natural tooth.

• Minimal Enamel Reduction Often requires little to no reshaping compared to standard porcelain veneers.
• Comfortable Experience Usually no injections or drilling of sensitive areas. Great for conservative treatment
• Durable & Natural Looking Designed to last many years with a bright, natural appearance.

Lumineers vs. Traditional Veneers

Traditional porcelain veneers generally require removing about 0.5 mm of enamel to make room for the restoration. Lumineers are significantly thinner, allowing them to be placed with minimal alteration when conditions are ideal. Both options can produce outstanding cosmetic results; the best choice depends on your enamel thickness, alignment, and cosmetic goals.

• Ultra-thin design (approximately 0.2 mm)
• Natural translucency similar to real enamel
• Long-lasting cosmetic performance

The Lumineers Process

The process typically requires two visits. During the first visit, we take precise impressions or digital scans and select the ideal shade for your smile. At the second appointment, your Lumineers are tried in, adjusted as needed, and bonded in place using a light-cured adhesive. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, most patients experience no discomfort before or after placement.

Are Lumineers Right for You?

Lumineers can be ideal if you want to enhance tooth color, close small gaps, correct shape issues, or rejuvenate your smile without significant enamel removal. During your consultation, we evaluate your smile to determine whether Lumineers, traditional veneers, or another cosmetic solution best fits your goals.
