What Are LUMINEERS®?

LUMINEERS® are simply a brand of porcelain veneers. They are made by DenMat. Many people are familiar with them because they are one of only a few brands that advertise to the public, but they are not the only brand available.

One of the strong points of this particular brand is that they are stronger than some other brands and can be made ultra thin. Whereas traditional porcelain veneers are 0.5 millimeter thick (about the thickness of a fingernail), these are 0.3 millimeter thick. The extra thinness means that sometimes they can be placed on the teeth without any shaving down of the teeth beforehand.

There are other brands that are strong enough to be made this thin. Vivaneers and DURAthin® both have this characteristic.

Here are some of the brands of porcelain veneers we provide in our office. When we meet with you, we’ll tell you which brand or type we recommend for you and why.

Are You a Candidate for Lumineers?

We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for you to determine if you’re a candidate for this procedure. We can’t really do that over the phone because we have to see the condition of your teeth. So here’s how we do that.

Just give us a call.

We’ll set up a complimentary initial consultation where we’ll look at your teeth, take some photographs of them, and discuss your needs and desires. Ask any questions you’d like.

Dr. Frazar or Dr. Hedge will tell you if they think you’re a candidate for LUMINEERS®. In the process, you’ll be able to see if we’re the right dentist for you.
