Choosing the best veneer

Lance Timmerman, DMD answers: Are Lumineers the best dental veneers?

I researching for veneers that improve my smile (chip teeth, gaps, yellowing, the works!). i read that many dentist offer a veneer called Lumnieers. On the lumnieer website it talks about how it's better becs its reversible and less pain since you dont get teeth shaved down. Can someone tell me if lumnieers are the best porcelain veneer?

In some situations, Lumineers may be the best choice. They are not some magical new and improved miracle material, but simply a registered trademarked thin porcelain shell.

What needs to be considered is the current situation and the goal. If the teeth are currently crooked and very dark in color, then probably not. But if your teeth are nice and straight and close to the shade of white that you desire, then they can be a nice choice.

There are many alternatives when choosing porcelain veneers. The greatest resource is an experienced clinician that can help you decide what is best for you.
