Hello Megan in response to your question and jag991:
In the event that a patient decides that LUMINEERS is not right for them and want their natural smile restored, they should first consult with their dentist to assess options. In most cases LUMINEERS can be removed from the original tooth with no residual damage. The removal process is simple. The dentist will grind the LUMINEERS off the tooth's surface, leaving the original tooth completely untouched and intact. Then the dentist will polish the tooth to clean away any remaining cement. The removal process is pain free, and when finished, the patient will have his/her original smile restored. If the teeth were overly prepped or contoured, which we do not recommend for placing LUMINEERS, then temporary bonding will be needed until a permanent solution is found.
jag991, we are sorry that you are not satisfied with your LUMINEERS. Please return to your LUMINEERS dentist to discuss your concerns and identify appropriate options.
