Comparing Veneers and Lumineers
With traditional veneers, prepares your tooth by removing a small amount of natural enamel to ensure a proper fit. This preparation can cause mild discomfort and makes the veneer placement irreversible.
Lumineers typically require minimal to no tooth preparation, which often makes the treatment reversible and reduces the risk of issues like tooth sensitivity. Unlike traditional veneers, which generally need three visits and temporary veneers between appointments, Lumineers usually only require two visits, with no need for temporary restorations.
Both Lumineers and traditional veneers are strong, but neither is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings can help extend the lifespan of your veneers.
