What Are Lumineers?

Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers made from patented Cerinate® porcelain. Unlike traditional porcelain veneers, Lumineers require little to no enamel removal, making the procedure painless, fast, and reversible.

Lumineers can correct or improve:

• Gaps between teeth
  
• Chipped or cracked teeth
  
• Deep stains and discoloration
  
• Misshapen or worn-down teeth
  
• Old crowns or bridgework
  
• Minor misalignment
  

They are as thin as a contact lens but strong enough to last 20 years or more — a perfect blend of strength and aesthetics.

The Lumineers Process

Our certified team follows a simple two-visit process to transform your smile comfortably and precisely.

Visit 1: Consultation & Smile Design

• A comprehensive evaluation and digital imaging are performed
  
• Dr. Daggs discusses your goals and helps design your ideal smile
  
• Impressions are taken and sent to the Lumineers lab, where your custom restorations are crafted
  

Visit 2: Placement of Lumineers

• Your natural teeth require little to no reshaping
  
• The Lumineers are carefully placed and bonded using high-quality adhesive
  
• No needles or anesthesia are needed, and you leave with an instantly upgraded smile
  

This non-invasive process makes Lumineers a preferred option for many patients seeking cosmetic enhancement without discomfort or downtime.

Benefits of Lumineers

• Pain-Free Treatment: No needles, no drilling, and no discomfort
  
• Natural Look & Feel: Made from ultra-thin, translucent porcelain for lifelike results
  
• Fast & Efficient: Only two visits required
  
• Long-Lasting Results: Proven to last 20 years or more
  
• Reversible Option: Because enamel is not removed, Lumineers can be reversed if desired

You can also pair Lumineers with other cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or dental bonding for a complete smile makeover.

Are You a Candidate for Lumineers?

Lumineers are ideal for:

• Patients who want cosmetic enhancement without tooth reduction
  
• Those looking to correct small gaps, discoloration, or worn teeth
  
• Individuals with anxiety about needles or drilling

During your consultation, Dr. Daggs will help determine whether Lumineers or another cosmetic option, like Invisalign or traditional veneers, is the best fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Lumineers last?

Lumineers are clinically proven to last over 20 years with proper care. They’re made from durable Cerinate porcelain and resist stains, chips, and wear.

Do Lumineers damage your teeth?

No. Lumineers are ultra-thin and designed to bond without removing healthy enamel. They’re reversible and don’t cause sensitivity.

Are Lumineers better than veneers?

Lumineers offer a non-invasive, reversible alternative to traditional veneers. While both deliver great results, Lumineers are ideal for patients who want to preserve natural tooth structure.

Can Lumineers fix crooked teeth?

Yes — Lumineers can mask minor misalignment, making teeth appear straighter. For more severe alignment issues, Invisalign may be recommended.
