Lumineers® porcelain veneers can transform your smile without removal of sensitive tooth structure.* Lumineers are fabricated from Cerinate Porcelain, which are extremely strong, allowing Lumineers to be much thinner than traditional porcelain veneers. Since the porcelain veneer is thinner, it closely resembles natural teeth and doesn't require removal of sensitive tooth structure. If tooth reduction is needed, often only minimal amounts of enamel are removed and the sensitive part of the tooth is not touched. This eliminates the need for anesthetic shots and the possibility of sensitivity afterward.
