It all boils down to experience and a special dentist-ceramist relationship!

Joseph Worthington, DDS answers: Dental veneers: Lumineer vs. Davinci vs. Empress

I would like to know why dentists pick a particular type of veneer. Lumineer vs. Davinci vs. Empress veneers. Please tell me which you pick to use and why? Thank you.

After over 25 years experience and placing several thousand veneers I choose the veneers that give me the most beautiful and lifelike result. 

Lumineers and DaVinci veneers are well known only because of smart and expensive marketing on the part of the laboratories that make them. Because they produce so many veneers, each laboratory has many ceramists that fabricate their veneers. This can result in inconsistency in style and quality.

I prefer feldspathic veneers produced by the same master ceramist giving me consistent quality and the exact result the patient desires. My ceramist knows me well enough to produce exactly what I want regardless of the difficulty of the individual case.  That relationship is priceless!
