What Types of Dental Problems Can be Fixed with Lumineers?

Lumineers are a highly specialized dental veneer. Using laminates that are color coordinated to your teeth, Lumineers can bring your smile increased health and whiteness in just two short sessions.

Although many patients with imperfect teeth qualify for Lumineers, your candidacy is especially good if your smile is already adequate, and you have an eye toward perfection. Obviously this is easier if you start with teeth that possess decent size and health. One disqualifier can be overly large teeth, which can harm the symmetry of the laminates.

Lumineers provide excellent coverage for teeth that may be lapsing years after advanced dental work. If you have a high degree of staining, either because you smoke or just from aging, Lumineers can disguise those stains. Even teeth that are crooked or oddly spaced benefit from the camouflage of Lumineers.

This diverse product is only recommended for reasonably healthy patients who do not have underlying orthodontic work, such as malocclusion or bruxism. These are issues better suited to orthodontics, and Lumineers is a cosmetic product, meant to make you feel and look good on a much shorter timeline.

If you are not sure Lumineers can fix your slight dental problems, we invite you to take a look at Lumineers before and after pictures. And feel free to contact our group with further questions about your candidacy.
