The Lumineers cost per tooth is $700-$1100 depending on the dentist. The procedure usually takes about three visits, depending on which dentist you decide to go to, there may be extra fees for each visit. The Lumineers also have to be cemented in properly, or else they can crack or stain. Mistakes like that can mess up your smile design. Getting mistakes like those fixed will add to your expenses, so it is always best to invest in an expert cosmetic dentist, even if it costs a little more.
LUMINEERS porcelain veneers are made only from Cerinate Porcelain, a patented, ultra-strong porcelain manufactured exclusively in Santa Maria, California. Cerinate Porcelain is feldspathic porcelain reinforced with leucite crystals. The particular uniformity of the leucite crystals in Cerinate Porcelain helps it to resist cracking and crazing. The high strength of Cerinate allows LUMINEERS to be made contact lens-thin, without increased risk of breakage, so you can place veneers without the need for anesthetic, extensive prepping, or temporaries. Cerinate Porcelain has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, helping to prevent debonding or pop-offs, and can be either stacked or pressed.
Thanks to the superior strength of Cerinate Porcelain, LUMINEERS can solve a variety of cosmetic issues without the grinding, shots, and pain inherent in traditional veneers.
Using Ultra-Bond and Tenure adhesives, contact lens-thin LUMINEERS are securely placed and shoulders are finished with magnification loupes and a fine diamond bur. This feathered edge creates a natural DEJ.
LUMINEERS do not require subgingival placement, eliminating packing the cord and subgingival health concerns such as gingivitis. And, with the proven placement system that includes Ultra-Bond and Tenure, you won’t have to worry about debondings or pop-offs that are frequently experienced with traditional veneers.
Cases can be completed in as few as two visits and chairtime and overhead are drastically reduced with LUMINEERS, thanks to the fact that anesthesia, extensive prepping, and temporaries are not needed.
The LUMINEERS philosophy is to preserve natural tooth structure whenever possible. When choosing LUMINEERS, most patients are ideal for no-prep or minimal cosmetic contouring (enameloplasty only). Together, you and your patient can decide how much reduction is best and you can choose the technique that best fits the case – no-prep, cosmetic contouring or full-prep.
