Lumineers is a brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers (approximately 0.2mm – similar to contact lenses) made from proprietary Cerinate porcelain. The biggest difference between Lumineers and traditional veneers is the no-prep or minimally invasive procedure, which completely preserves natural enamel and does not require anesthesia.

Pros:

  • No preparation required
  • Less invasive alternative
  • No damage to the teeth or nerves
  • Can be taken off or reversed
  • Stain-resistant

Cons:

  • Can look bulkier
  • Not ideal for overcrowded or crooked teeth
