How well do you like your Lumineers?!


Question:

How well do you like your Lumineers?

DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU DON'T PHYSICALLY HAVE THEM IN YOUR MOUTH. THAT ESPECIALLY INCLUDES ALL PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE DENTAL FIELD!


Answers:

I have two of them on my front teeth. Just got them over a month ago. Here's what I posted in another post about them vs. veneers:

I have two Lumineers and one veneer. 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, so you may not also. The veneer was much cheaper though. I have mines near the back so it's not really noticeable. About $500-$800. The lumineers were $1200 w/a $200 discount...so $1400...just for the tooth, not including prepping it like cement.

The Lumineer required no drilling like u said. 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. But the veneer, my tooth was shaved down to a nub. I had to be numbed for that. I was a bit sad to see my old teeth shaved down like that.

Go to a cosmetic dentist, most are these days but make sure cuz they are trained to make it look more pleasing. My veneer was done really poorly by a reg dentist. 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 veneers for 3 years. Still looks as good as the first day. For the Lumineers, it is too early to tell. I've had them for about 2 months and no problems so far. Also, 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.

With Lumineers, there is a 5 year warranty. They have been clinically tested to last 20 years with care. Ppl who haven't tried them keep saying bad things about them. Saying they are too new and such. I think they use to say the same stuff about veneers or anything new. But I got them and I'm really happy with them. They look like real teeth. A friend I haven't seen in years even asked me why my smile looked so much better. I said Lumineers and she said "which one is it??". Lol! Ask ur dentist if that is something they suggest. Ask them to give you the pros and cons based on Your teeth. And ask them if you can see any pics of patients they've worked on to see how their work is. Good luck!
