DentaCare Associates has been a certified Lumineers provider since 2006. Call and schedule an appointment and let us help you get the perfect smile you deserve. You can have a permanently white, perfect smile in only two visits. Lumineers are unique in that they are ultra-thin (approximately 0.2 mm) and highly translucent, allowing them to replicate the natural appearance of enamel delivering a natural looking smile. Traditional veneers are generally thicker, and thus require more aggressive and irreversible removal of healthy tooth structure. The extensive preparation technique frequently requires shots and anesthesia to minimize sensitivity and pain, and typically involves placement of acrylic temporaries for over two weeks between visits. The minimally invasive Lumineers technique typically eliminates the need for shots or temporaries, so while you wait for your custom-made Lumineers, you’ll look great and feel great. Additionally, the durability of Lumineers allows them to resist wear and remain resilient to last over 20 years. That durability improves the strength of your teeth. Lumineers are backed by a limited lifetime warranty
