LUMINEERS are a special type of ultra-thin (comparable to a contact lens) veneers by CERINATE. Just like traditional veneers, Lumineers can reshape your smile for that perfect smile makeover. They can cover gaps between teeth and enhance the appearance of worn down and discoloured teeth.
Lumineers are made from a special patented cerinate porcelain that is very strong but much thinner than traditional laboratory fabricated veneers. Their thickness is comparable to contact lenses, and so are often called contact lenses for your teeth. The main advantage of these ultra thin veneers is that minimal tooth preparation is required i.e very little, if any of your natural tooth structure needs to be removed (shaved or ground) prior to bonding the lumineers over your natural teeth. As a result the procedure is often reversible since your natural tooth structure is left intact unlike traditional veneers where a significant amount of your teeth structure may need to be removed.
