Lumineers® are ultra-thin, custom veneers designed to improve the appearance of teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they are made from durable porcelain that resembles natural enamel. Lumineers are renowned for their minimally invasive application process, which requires little to no tooth reduction.
We use Lumineers to address various dental concerns, including discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments. One significant advantage of these innovative veneers is their convenience. Unlike traditional veneers, which may require extensive grinding or drilling of the tooth structure, Lumineers often need minimal preparation. This means less discomfort and a quicker application process without anesthesia. Additionally, Lumineers are reversible, providing a flexible solution for those looking to enhance their smile without permanent alterations.
When considering veneers to enhance your smile, it is essential to understand the differences between Lumineers and traditional options. Here is a side-by-side comparison:

The journey to a beautiful smile begins with an initial consultation. During this visit, Dr. Sanku will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to ensure Lumineers are the right choice. He will also discuss your aesthetic goals and address any concerns you may have.
If Lumineers are deemed suitable, the next step is to create a custom mold of your teeth. This ensures that the veneers will fit perfectly and look natural. Additionally, we will help you choose the ideal shade to match your existing teeth and achieve the desired brightness level.
One of the key benefits of Lumineers is that they require minimal tooth preparation. Unlike traditional dental veneers, Lumineers typically need little to no enamel removal. This means the underlying structure remains largely intact, making the process painless and preserving natural teeth.
Once the custom Lumineers are ready, they are carefully applied to your teeth using a special adhesive. Dr. Sanku ensures precise placement for optimal alignment and appearance. The adhesive is then cured with a special light to secure the veneers.
After the Lumineers are bonded, adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable bite and natural look. The final step involves polishing the new veneers to blend seamlessly with your smile, giving you a bright and flawless appearance.
During the first 48 hours after your Lumineers placement, allowing the bonding material to set and strengthen is crucial. We do not recommend consuming extremely hot or cold beverages as temperature sensitivity may be present and affect the bonding process. It is also important to avoid meals and drinks that could stain your new Lumineers, such as coffee, red wine, or deeply colored sauces. Additionally, refrain from biting into hard foods with your front teeth as the bonding material is still settling. These first two days are critical for ensuring proper adhesion and the long-term success of your Lumineers.
Maintaining your new veneers requires consistent attention to oral hygiene and careful consideration of daily habits. Regular brushing and flossing remain essential, but it is important to use non-abrasive toothpaste to protect the surface of Lumineers from scratches or damage. A soft-bristled toothbrush is recommended to gently clean around all surfaces of the veneers while preventing unnecessary wear.
Continuing with regular dental check-ups every six months is crucial for professional cleaning and ensuring your Lumineers remain in optimal condition. Dr. Sanku will monitor their integrity and address all concerns before they become significant issues. Proper maintenance allows our veneers to maintain their beautiful appearance and function for many years.
