How often do patients Feel as if their Teeth Are Thicker after Lumineers?

How often is this just a factor of getting used to them? Do most people get used to the feeling of lumineers in a week or so?

A: Do Lumineers make your teeth feel "thicker"?

Lumineers are wonderful on the right person with the right teeth.  If you have large teeth to begin with, and there was no reduction done to the teeth, you are going to feel large bulky teeth.  If you have small teeth with gaps in between, you are probably a perfect candidate for this procdure.  You have to do your homework.  Schedule consultations with two or more cosmetic dentists who do both no prep and regular veneers and see what would work best for you size teeth and your smile.

Will Flossing my Teeth Be Frustrating with Lumineers?

What are some of the issues with flossing with Lumineers? What is a recommended cleaning suggestion?

A: Will there be problems flossing with lumineers?

Lumineers, if placed properly, should be just like natural teeth and you should not be able to tell the difference. You would brush and floss just as you would your own teeth.  The only forseeable issue might be if the teeth they are covering are large and the lumineers have made them more bulky with less space to floss between. Make sure you see a reputable cosmetic dentist that has had great success with this procedure and look at his before and after photos to see if it is the look you want for your teeth and smile.

Are Lumineers Covered by Most Insurance?

Will my dental insurance cover my Lumineers if I am recovering from bulimia? This is the only question I have. Please I need an answer.

A: Re: Bulimia and Dental Insurance coverage for Lumineers

I have had two friends who suffered from this condition and had to have implants done to replace their teeth becuase of this disease and neither could get insurance to cover for this medical condition.  Lumineers would not be the proper replacement or coverage in your case because of tooth erosion.  You need to discuss procedures with a skilled periodontist and cosmetic dentist to find the best type of restorative treatment for you. You might try to pursue your medical insurance coverage as well as dental. You might have better luck with medical because of bulimia. insurance often covers Botox for theraputic uses for TMJ issues.  Have your dentist run your insurance both dental and discuss with your MD possible medical coverage for this procedure.
