Enhancing your smile is a journey that begins with understanding your options. Dental veneers and Lumineers® are two remarkable cosmetic dentistry solutions that can redefine your smile.
Dental Veneers: Precision in Aesthetics
Dental veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells meticulously crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth. Dr. Rebecca Hausten and Dr. Rachael Cole, our skilled dentists, customize each veneer to match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth. Veneers are a versatile solution, addressing concerns such as discoloration, chipping and misalignment. The process involves minimal tooth reduction, ensuring a comfortable and seamless fit.
Lumineers: Preserving Your Natural Teeth
Lumineers offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional veneers. These ultra-thin porcelain shells are designed to be placed directly on your natural teeth without the need for extensive enamel reduction. Dr. Hausten and Dr. Cole, our experts in cosmetic dentistry, ensure that Lumineers provide a natural and radiant appearance, preserving the integrity of your original teeth.

FAQ
What are dental veneers, and how can they improve my smile?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, providing a transformative solution for various cosmetic concerns. Whether addressing discoloration, chipping or minor misalignment, veneers are customized to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth. The result is a radiant, uniform smile that enhances both aesthetics and confidence. The process involves minimal tooth reduction, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural appearance.
What are Lumineers®, and how do they differ from traditional veneers?
Lumineers are a minimally invasive alternative to traditional veneers. Like veneers, they are ultra-thin porcelain shells designed to improve the appearance of teeth, but they require little to no enamel reduction. This means that Lumineers can be applied directly to the teeth without the extensive preparation needed for veneers, preserving your natural teeth. Lumineers provide the same aesthetic benefits, such as correcting discoloration, gaps and minor imperfections, while offering a gentler treatment option.
How do I know if veneers or Lumineers are right for me?
Both veneers and Lumineers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, but the choice depends on your specific dental needs and preferences. Veneers may be more appropriate for patients seeking significant changes in tooth shape, size or alignment, while Lumineers are ideal for those who want a more conservative approach with minimal tooth alteration. We will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and recommend the best solution for your smile transformation.
What is the process for getting veneers or Lumineers?
The process for both veneers and Lumineers involves an initial consultation, during which our dentists assess your smile and discuss your desired outcome. For veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed to ensure a perfect fit, followed by the custom crafting of the veneers to match your teeth. Lumineers, on the other hand, require little to no enamel reduction. Both treatments typically take two appointments: one for preparation and impressions, and a second for the application of your new veneers or Lumineers. The result is a stunning, natural-looking smile.
