Even afer placing a lumineer on the tooth one can still get the cavity on the side and the back side of the tooth as lumineer covers the front part of the tooth.If the cavity is big enough to get a rct then it can always be done from the back side of the tooth and if the cavity on the side of the tooth it can be fixed as well ,in some cases we might have to replace the old lumineer with the new one.This happens when there is open margin and will not be problem if we have good integrity of the lumineer.
All Veneers and Crowns can get decay and nerves can die requiring root canal treatment. Decay can sometimes be treated without replacement of the veneers. Root canals can usually be completed without compromising the integrity of the veneer.
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.

We have used large lumineers that are added to existing small teeth that are not seen as in this photo. If there are no teeth under the lip in this photo, then lumineers would not help this patient to show teeth
Yes, I would consider using lumineers. They can be made to fit over your existing teeth and are so thin, you may barely notice the extra thickness. We have done over 50 lumineer cases, so I am sure the solution will work for you.
When you are looking only to do two veneers, it iws best to have a local ceramist/artist make the teeth and work with the dentist to match the two new teeth to your existing tooth color. The Lumineer lab is in California, and sending a photo of the color of your teeth to them is helpful but...
