Re: Lumineers

No pros. They will be bulky and they will feel too big for your mouth. It is a gimmick. The problem is that they don't take any tooth structure away (or very minimal), then they add porcelain to your teeth. The lumineers are made very thin because of this and are more fragile. They are also expensive. With traditional veneers, a minimal amount of enamel is removed from the front (facial) and edges (incisal) of the teeth and a porcelain veneer that is equal to that is bonded back on the tooth, so the size and thickness of the tooth is relatively the same. Not the case with Lumineers - they add but do not take away, thus creating bulk. Look at this board with all the people wishing they had never done it. They are also pre-fabricated and are not custom made for YOUR mouth, whereas traditonal veneers are made to your dentists specifications and molds of your mouth. And what about color??? I guess that is limited, too! And shape?? This idea gets worse the longer I think about it! NO WAY!
