Yes, Lumineers can be removed. You should seek a cosmetic dentist that will be able to remove the Lumineers without damaging your underlying teeth. After removal, your teeth will need to be polished, but more prepping will not be required. I always tell patients that porcelain veneers are so much better than veneers for most cases. Lumineers require no prep, so they look bulky and can often times pop off. Porcelain veneers don't look bulky (if done properly) and are very permanent.

If you are unahppy with your smile, keeping the Lumineers won't change anything, and removing them won't improve your smile.

You dentist will need to move very slowly and polish the underlying tooth structure after removal.There can also be damage to the tooth. My question is why remove them? You didn't like your teeth previously so you had Lumineers done. It's possible the Lumineers have room for improvement. Think about what the real problem is before moving forward.
It is possible to be allergic, but also highly unlikely. Perhaps you should investigate if there is an infection or foreign body reaction. Best,
Well designed and properly bonded veneers or Lumineers shouldn't be affected by food or alcohol consumption. It is possible, but unlikely. If you're finding that your veneers are failing, usually it is because of poor design in the bite, or lack of maintenance. Best,
If veneers are done properly, there is total control over the shape of the final teeth. With Lumineers you are slightly less limited in the way you can shape the final result. That being said, shape is infinitely more important than color. For that reason, a traditional veneer is usually a...
