Root canal treatment should not affect integrity of Lumineer
Lumineers generally cover only the front and sides of a tooth. When a tooth requires root canal therapy, access to the nerve is usually done from the back of the tooth, away from where the Lumineer is located.
If a cavity forms along the edge of a Lumineer, replacement is usually needed. Small cavities sometimes can be repaired, but it is a case by case situation.
