The dentist said I need a deep clean. Will my Lumineers fall off?

Question

I recently went to a new dentist because I have moved and I have 6 lumineers on my 6 front upper teeth. I'm very worried about them cracking or breaking off.

Jessica Wyatt, DDS · Answer

Lumineers will not be damaged upon having a "deep cleaning" or scaling and root planing. However, your hygienist should make sure to use a fine polishing paste that is specific for esthetic porcelain restorations so as not to destroy the final polish and glaze on the restoration. Hope this helps.

Ara Nazarian, DDS, DICOI · Answer

A deep cleaning should not affect your Lumineers. If there is a concern when the hygienists use an ultrasonic hand piece, there are various soft coated tips as a safeguard. Our hygienists are all trained to cleaned these type of restorations as well as implant work.

Andy Shieh, DMD · Answer

Deep cleaning shouldn’t disturb the integrity and structural strength of your Lumineers if the hygienist treating you is good. Just make sure you let her know not to damage your Lumineers during your deep cleaning treatment.
