Lumineers are a cosmetic enhancement made from dental-grade porcelain and can safely and painlessly create a bright, beautiful smile. Known for being ultra-thin, Lumineers are placed over your existing teeth without the need for the tooth’s surface to be altered or removed. Although Lumineers are thin, they are strong and durable enough to take you through anything your day throws your way.

They are used to straighten and adjust the shape and size of your teeth by covering existing teeth. The advancement in technology enables this type of veneer to be ultra-thin, which can be placed right over the tooth’s existing natural surface. Lumineers placed over your teeth is a minimally invasive treatment that requires no injections.
