Lumineers Recovery Time

How long do I need to take off to have Lumineers put on -- is there a certain amount of downtime to be expected?

How many visits do they take on average? Can I expect a lot of pain or sensitivity after? Will I need to do anything special with my teeth after (different toothpaste, floss, etc.)?

Two visits with three weeks in between the visits. Each visit is one to two hours. Make darn sure you are a candidate for Lumineers as they suck.

Lumineers Cost Per Tooth

I'm considering getting Lumineers, but just on one or two teeth. What do they cost per tooth usually?

$900 to $1400. You better make damn sure you are a candidte for them. Most patients are not!!!!!!!!!!

Lumineers for Teeth Whitening?

As I've gotten older, my teeth have gotten a little yellow. Are Lumineers good for teeth whitening? Would I have to re-bleach them every few years after I got them done?

Yes, only if you have fairly light teeth with a touch of yellow (no gray or brown) and you have spaces between your teeth. They will not need to be bleached as they are porcelain.

I still would go for Empress, traditional prepped veneers. Lumineers have many problems.
