Are you unhappy with the appearance of your smile? Do you ever wish there was something you could do to achieve a radiant teeth? If you would like to improve the appearance of your smile, we recommend considering dental veneers and lumineers.

Veneers are thin shells designed to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth. After they are formed to meet your specific needs, your dentist will bond the shells to your teeth. As with most restorations (such as crowns or bridges), veneers and lumineers will last longer if you care for them properly. Fortunately, veneers and lumineers don’t requires special treatment.

But, would you be surprised to learn that despite their similarities, veneers and lumineers have distinct advantages? For instance, veneers are extremely strong. In fact, if you care for them properly, they can last up to twenty years. Similarly, if you grind your teeth, dental veneers might be the best option for you. However, please note that veneers are generally permanent treatments.

Conversely, lumineers have two main benefits. The first benefit is that lumineers take less time to place. In fact, your dentist can typically place lumineers without the need for anesthesia. The second important thing to note is that lumineers can be removed. This means that if you aren’t happy with your veneers, you can remove them easily and try a different treatment.
