Lumineers and Veneers
Why Dr Dilmohit Singh
Lumineers and Veneers are often synonymous with each other though there is a difference. Lumineers are thin shells and sections of ceramics that do not require tooth preparation on other hand veneers can either be laboratory made or made directly inside the mouth with composites and usually require preparation and cutting of teeth.
- Lumineers and Veneers are given to improve perfect smiles and good aesthetics.
- Veneers are given after preparation of the teeth and often placed to mask the discolored, irregularities and abnormal shape of the teeth. Veneers are very technique sensitive and costly as compared to crown.
- Lumineers are also technique sensitive, and cost factor is high, but it does not require cutting of the teeth. They can be applied with ease but at times look more bulkier than veneers. For more details Kindly contact us.
