Question:

Has anyone out there gotten lumineers?

I am seriously thinking about getting lumineers, but I would like some genuine feed back on them, please let me know if you have them and what your experience has been so far. Thank you.


Answers:

Here's my experience with veneers and Lumineers, posted on another question:
I have two Lumineers and a few veneers. I like the Lumineers because it has a more teeth-look to them. it's more shiny, transparent. I have these two on my front tooth to cover a gap. The veneer is "flat" in color and if you get a few together, imo, can look like dentures. But before I got the Lumineers on the other teeth, I didn't really notice this difference between the two, so you may not also.

The Lumineer required no drilling. So there is no pain or shots needed. And if I ever decide to remove the lumineer, my tooth won't be harmed too much. They say it's as thin as a contact lens but strong.

Go to a cosmetic dentist, most are these days or ask recommendations from friends who have had veneers put on. Because it can depend on how well the dentist places them too. My first veneer was done really poorly. I had it redone with a cosmetic and looks really nice. With either of them, they can chip. I haven't had the problem with my other veneers for about 4 years. Still looks as good as the first day. For the Lumineers, it is too early to tell. I've had them for about 6 months and no problems so far. Also, for both, you may have to replace them in the future.

For lumineers, if you put them in the front, they will be slightly thicker than your reg tooth. Just slightly so you may have to adjust. I didn't find it much of a difference though.

Overall, I am pleased with both of them. Lumineers come out slightly forward because of how real they look. It also comes with a written 5 year warranty and clinically tested to last 20 years. And for the "real" test. My venners didn't come w/a warranty but adjustments are free. But depends on the dentist. But for price the veneers win. I may replace the veneers in the future to Lumis. With both, you'll have to continue to floss up to the gumline, brush and be careful of hard food. Like if you eat an apple, it's better to cut it up instead of biting into it. Also the warranty requires you to get reg checkups and signed as proof. It took a while to get use to my smile but I'm very pleased w/the results. I smile more. Friends I haven't seen in a while can't believe my front teeth are fake. Two of my best friends have recently gotten them too after seeing mines. =)

Ask you dental doc which one they recommend. Good luck!
