Veneers
I am thinking of having Veneers to help my smile. Because I understand it is not reversible I want to make sure I get it done right. I know there are different kinds of Veneers, but don’t really understand the difference. I hear about porcelain and Lumineers. What is the difference and what makes one better than another. I am 46 and deal a lot with people in my work... I feel a better smile couldn’t hurt.

The difference between veneers and Lumineers is the amount of reduction we have to do on your natural teeth. If you already have bigger and protruded teeth then it needs more reduction and you should get veneers. If your teeth are already small and not protruded, minimum or no reduction is needed and you can get lumineers. This will be evaluated on your consultation visit and depending on your teeth and what you are looking for we can make a determination which one you will need. The pricing is pretty much the same.
When we do this procedure, we will provide you with after digital photos, make temporaries shaped like the final result and do try ins to make sure you like it before the final delivery. You can request changes if you don’t like something about them up to the final delivery.
