What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance without requiring significant tooth reduction. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are approximately 0.2mm thick and often can be applied with minimal or no grinding down of the original tooth structure, making them a reversible cosmetic dental solution for addressing issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment. This conservative approach preserves more natural tooth enamel while still providing patients with a brighter, more uniform smile that can last for many years with proper care.

  • Gaps Between Teeth - Small to moderate spaces between teeth can be visually closed using Lumineers for a more uniform smile.

  • Worn Down Teeth - Teeth that have been shortened due to grinding or natural wear can be restored to their proper length and appearance.

  • Misshapen Teeth - Teeth that are irregularly shaped can be given a more aesthetically pleasing appearance with Lumineers.

  • Old Dental Work - Lumineers can cover old, discoloured fillings or outdated cosmetic dentistry for a refreshed smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental Lumineers?


Dental Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are approximately 0.2mm thick and often require little to no tooth reduction during placement. They're designed to address cosmetic concerns such as discoloration, minor misalignment, chips, and gaps between teeth while providing a natural-looking smile enhancement.



How long do Lumineers last?


With proper care and regular dental check-ups, Lumineers can last 10-20 years. To maximise their lifespan, patients should maintain excellent oral hygiene, attend biannual dental examinations, avoid using teeth as tools, wear a nightguard if grinding is an issue, and avoid biting into extremely hard foods. Regular professional cleanings will also help ensure your Lumineers remain in optimal condition for as long as possible.



What is the difference between Lumineers and traditional veneers?


The key differences between Lumineers and traditional veneers include:



  • Thickness: Lumineers are approximately 0.2mm thick, while traditional veneers are about 0.5mm thick

  • Tooth preparation: Lumineers typically require minimal to no tooth reduction, whereas traditional veneers usually require more significant enamel removal

  • Reversibility: Due to minimal tooth alteration, Lumineers are often considered more reversible than traditional veneers

  • Application process: Lumineers generally require fewer dental visits to complete the treatment

  • Durability: Traditional veneers may be more durable for certain cases, particularly when addressing significant cosmetic concerns



Are Lumineers painful to get?


Lumineers are typically not painful to get. The procedure is minimally invasive, often requiring little to no tooth reduction, which means less discomfort compared to traditional veneers. Most patients experience minimal sensitivity during and after the procedure. Local anaesthetic is rarely needed but can be administered if a patient is particularly sensitive. Any mild discomfort following placement usually subsides within a few days.



How much do Lumineers cost in London?


The cost of Lumineers in London typically ranges from £800 to £1,200 per tooth. The final price depends on several factors including the number of Lumineers needed, complexity of your case, additional treatments required, and the expertise of the dental specialist. At London Dental Specialists, we offer comprehensive consultations to provide accurate pricing based on your specific needs and treatment plan.



How do I care for my Lumineers?


Caring for Lumineers is similar to maintaining natural teeth:



  1. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste

  2. Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth

  3. Attend regular dental check-ups every 6 months

  4. Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages

  5. Consider wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth

  6. Limit consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, and red wine

  7. Avoid biting directly into very hard foods



Can Lumineers fix crooked teeth?


Lumineers can correct the appearance of mildly crooked teeth by creating the illusion of proper alignment. However, they are best suited for minor misalignments. For moderately to severely crooked teeth, orthodontic treatment like braces or clear aligners may be recommended before Lumineers are applied. During your consultation at London Dental Specialists, our experts will assess your specific case and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your dental concerns.



How long does the Lumineers procedure take?


The Lumineers procedure typically requires two appointments. The first appointment involves taking impressions of your teeth and selecting the shade, which usually takes 1-2 hours. The impressions are then sent to a laboratory where your custom Lumineers are fabricated, which takes approximately 2-3 weeks. During your second appointment, which lasts about 1-2 hours, the Lumineers are bonded to your teeth. The entire process from consultation to final placement generally takes 3-4 weeks.



Are Lumineers suitable for everyone?


Lumineers are not suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates have relatively healthy teeth with minor cosmetic concerns such as discoloration, small gaps, or slight misalignment. Patients with significant dental issues like severe decay, gum disease, or extreme misalignment may need to address these problems before considering Lumineers. Additionally, those with bruxism (teeth grinding) may put excessive pressure on Lumineers, potentially reducing their lifespan. A thorough evaluation by our specialists at London Dental Specialists will determine if Lumineers are appropriate for your specific dental situation.
