Emax or Lumineer or other? (Photo)

Question

Hello everybody, I would like an Hollywood smile, straight teeth and whiter ! But I really don’t know what it’s the best for my teeth ! Lumineer it’s my favorite because the dentist don’t need to shave my teeth and for me when I see some picture in IG they don’t look fake I need to know the difference ? If it’s not Lumineer , what kind of similar veneers I can use ? Resin veneer ? But the life expand just 8 years I want go in Cali,Colombia for that Sorry for English I try

Lumineers comes in two materials, Cerinate porcelain or lithium disilicate (LD). IPS e.max is a brand and they are made up of LD. So Lumineers and e.max are both LD veneers. Also, based on your photos, you will need your teeth minimally prepped if you want your results to have a natural smile design. If any dentists don’t prep or shave your teeth some, then your new veneered smile will look fake and thick. Your one canine sticks out more so that tooth will be shaven the most. Don’t believe the ads from Lumineers on “no prep”, yes there are cases out there that there shouldn’t no be any prep, but majority of the cases will have some prep.

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.

my first concern is that you are a severe grinder.  You can see the water facettes.  You would destroy Lumineers.  EMax and properly prepared teeth is the only answer.

Hello!
You can do lumineers that is not invasive and your teeth don’t have to shave it too much to do it you will get good esthetic.
