Lumineers

Lumineers are porcelain facings that are manufactured and marketed--heavily--by the DenMat corporation. The advertisements claim that the veneers can be placed with little or no tooth preparation or grinding and no shots. In some cases, this is true, but most often it is not. Be certain that your dentist has adequate training in cosmetic dentistry before agreeing to have this type of facing placed on your teeth. Improper placement can lead to bulky teeth, painful bite problems, and even tooth loss. Never be afraid to seek a second opinion. A competent dentist will have no problem with this.
