Los Angeles Lumineers

Advantages of Lumineers

Lumineers®* are a brand of porcelain veneers made by the Den-Mat company. They are made out of Cerinate porcelain, which is stronger than other porcelains. Because of the extra strength, they can be a little thinner than other veneers—0.3 millimeter thick instead of 0.5 millimeter.

Dr. Dustin Nelson, of Los Angeles, can answer your questions about Lumineers®. He has taken the Lumineers® course conducted by Den-Mat. He is frankly not impressed with the product and does not intend to use it. He

Cautions with Lumineers®

Beware of cosmetic dentists who specifically promote only Lumineers®, because they may be so focused on this one procedure they won't be able to explain all your options. Since Dr. Nelson is expert in all areas of cosmetic dentistry, he will be honest with you in telling you what all your options are.

Den-Mat  is sponsoring a lot of advertising, which is good in raising the awareness of the public about cosmetic dentistry. However, the advertising can also lead to false impressions.

For example, the advertising implies that with Lumineers® there will be no drilling on your teeth. While this is possible in some cases, in other cases it isn't, and many Lumineers® are placed after the same type of shaving that occurs with other brands of porcelain veneers. If your tooth isn't shaved any, it will end up thicker and about two millimeters longer. If this is right for you, then fine. But you need a cosmetic dentist like Dr. Nelson, who will be honest with you about what you can expect.
