Lumineers Over Lumineers

I have Lumineers that are old and dingy. They weren’t as white as I wanted when I first had them placed either. My dentist understood I wanted very white teeth but said that wasn’t an available option then. They only had “natural” looking Lumineers back then. I’m wondering, now that you can get much whiter ones if I can put another set over my old ones to get that nice, […]

Lumineers for Tetracycline Stains

I went to a cosmetic dentist to get porcelain veneers for tetracycline stains. He said if I got porcelain veneers they would have to grind my teeth down. Instead, he suggested I get Lumineers. Will those work for me or do I need something else? I want a smile I can be proud of. I’ve spent years hiding my teeth. Katie Dear Katie, I am going to implore you to […]

Lumineers Versus DuraThin

I’m planning on getting a smile makeover but can’t seem to decide between DuraThin and Lumineers. I like the look of the Durathin better than the Lumineers, but didn’t know if there was a significant cost difference. I might be willing to swing my vote based on that.

Lumineers or Another Brand?

I really wanted to get Lumineers. I love the smiles I see in their advertisements. Yet, when I do research on them the reviews are quite mixed. I can’t decide if they are the right brand to get or not. I like the idea of the no prep part. It sounds like it would be better for my teeth. I just don’t want to make a mistake. Any advice?

New Lumineers over Old

I’ve had my lumineers for about 5 years. They’re okay but not as white as I wanted them. At the time, my dentist said that’s as white as they get. To me, they look dingy especially compared to other smile makeovers I’m seeing out there. I’m thinking about having him put new lumineers over them because it seems like you can get whiter now. However, my friend (who’s makeover is […]

To Lumineers or Not to Lumineers?

I’ve gotten two smile makeover recommendations from two different dentists. I’m hoping you can break the tie. I live in another city so I know you won’t be swayed to try to get my business. The first dentist said I was a good candidate and recommended I do porcelain veneers. The second dentist also said I was a good candidate but suggested I do Lumineers. He said they’re better because […]

Should I Trust My Dentist if He’s Not Listed as a Lumineers Expert?

I want to get a Lumineers smile. My dentist can provide one for about $10,000. The price isn’t bad, but I noticed he isn’t listed as a Lumineers expert. Should I be concerned and try another dentist? Marcy Dear Marcy, One thing I can say about Lumineers is that they have a fantastic marketing campaign. I’d like you to be very careful here. Most expert dentist’s don’t recommend the brand. […]

A Second Opinion on Lumineers

I need an opinion from a dentist who doesn’t have a dog in the fight. I want to get porcelain veneers. My dentist wants me to get Lumineers. He says with any other brand he’d have to grind my teeth down. I don’t want that. But, I’ve heard Lumineers don’t look that great. He said he’s certified so they’ll look great. I just want to see what another dentist thinks […]
