Lumineers are an even thinner type of veneer, coming in at about 0.2mm. They are about as thick as a contact lens, meaning they are less than half the width of traditional veneers. Lumineers, like traditional veneers, are adhered to the front of your teeth to enhance your smile. They are able to fix imperfections such as discoloration, misshapes, and overall appearance. You may be wondering if they have a similar longevity and durability compared to traditional veneers. The answer is yes, even though Lumineers are extremely thin, they are sturdy and can last up to 10-15 years. Not as long as traditional veneers, but still a good amount of time. Primarily, patients opt for Lumineers because they don’t require the removal of your enamel to be placed. This makes them a great option if you are worried about an irreversible procedure.
