I would like to know why dentists pick a particular type of veneer. Lumineer vs. Davinci vs. Empress veneers. Please tell me which you pick to use and why? Thank you.

Answer: Types of Veneers
A dentist should pick a particular veneer material because the laboratory technician is skilled with this product.
Lumineer and Davinci veneers are made by certain labs that have spent a lot of money on market and brand awareness so that patients come to the dentist asking "I want Lumineers." when really the patient is saying "I want a veneer that is going to look natural and great"
Lumineers market that their veneers can be placed without drilling or anesthetic. This is true for some limited cases.
Hope this helps.

Answer: Another ceramic option
in a word...CEREC!
While I agree the ideal result is achieved as a joint effort between dentist, client and lab, most of the time I use CEREC. it is highly precise CAD-CAM fabrication. The porcelain is milled, not pressed.
There are many options, just as there are in lab-based materials.
We can offer highly customized outcomes with conventional procelains, Empress porcelains and now , VERY strong e.Max porcelain.
The advantage is the dentist controls the outcome, and it can often be done in a single visit.
Because the ceramic blocks are made in a factory, it is very uniform in its manufacture, And you can't beat the way computer fabricated veneers will fit!
