Joseph Worthington, DDS answers: Lumineers for small tooth gap and whitening?

I have straight teeth with a small gap right in the middle upper two teeth and I am looking for 1.long term whitening 2.nice look. What do you recommend?

Even if you want a veneer that is placed on the face of your tooth without tooth preparation, I would stay away from Lumineers. The quality of the porcelain is poor.  I would recommend you have a prettier feldspathic porcelain veneer placed.

To get the best result you must do some tooth reduction to avoid that bulky, fake, "Chicklette" look.  If you look carefully at the advertisements for Lumineers even the untrained eye can see the bulkiness.
