Lumineers vs. Traditional Veneers

LUMINEERS™ offer a painless approach to veneer dental treatments. They are the perfect solution for improving stained, chipped and misaligned teeth. This procedure only requires two to three office visits to deliver the smile you've been dreaming of.  The super thin porcelain veneer is positioned over your existing teeth eliminating the need for painful teeth removals required with traditional veneers. Learn more about the benefits of Lumineers in this recent article. To schedule a consultation with Dr.McCauley at our Delray Beach office please call us today at (561) 272-8555.
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length and resulting in an improved appearance. Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
