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.
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.
The key differences between Lumineers and traditional veneers include:
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.
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.
Caring for Lumineers is similar to maintaining natural 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.
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.
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.
