Discover what our patients have to say
All right Heather, so tell us just a little bit about before you have the work done and then what drove you to have it. Well have been coming here for about 10 years, and I think every time I came in Christie would always tell me I should do veneers, like every single time I saw her she say “ Oh Heather, you really really should think about doing veneers. And like it kind of crossed my mind, but I guess I never really realized like what a big change it would be in my life, and so yeah so I kind of took her advice and I did that before and after camera thing, the photo feel and it was such a big difference that I think as soon as I saw like what my teeth look like and how they could look, I was amazed and I just thought there’s just no question, I think, oh my gosh I have to have to get that done. So since you got it done how is it affecting your smile?
I always needed braces and my mom never had the money to get me braces when I was young, and I always had really crooked teeth, and I always had really sharp canines and you know I’ve always been a smiley person so that never really kept me from smiling. But I didn’t ever realize like in pictures I could see myself and be like, oh my gosh, my view from my teeth are so bad. But since then I’ve gotten so many compliments and people just saying oh my gosh you’ve got the prettiest smile and oh my gosh your teeth are so straight and that’s never ever happened before, so that to me is just like wow, it is a big difference nobody ever noticed my smile. So how was your experience? Of course great, and we’ve been coming here for such a long time, and I mean Christie is like family to me pretty much. Yeah I always had a great experience. So would you recommend our practice if anybody was considering dentistry? Oh my gosh absolutely yes. And now that I had it done you know I think this was really like life-changing, and just maybe how you feel about yourself your self confidence you know, I mean you want to smile and there’s a million reasons to smile. So being able to smile and not hide anything is you know, that’s life-changing. Well that’s awesome, thank you – show us your big smile – awesome. Thank you

Lumineers/Veneers FAQs
How are Lumineers different from traditional veneers?
Lumineers are ultra-thin veneers (<0.3mm) made from Cerinate® porcelain. Lumineers are designed to enhance your smile with little to no removal of natural tooth structure. In contrast, porcelain veneers are thicker and require the removal of your natural tooth structure. Ultimately, Lumineers are minimally invasive and don’t require drilling or anesthesia shots in most cases.
What can Lumineers do for my smile?
Lumineers are quite versatile, just like porcelain veneers. They can transform your smile in several ways, including:
- Whiten discolored teeth
- Close minor spaces between teeth
- Disguise mildly misaligned teeth
- Repair worn-out edges, cracks, and chips
- Resize or reshape misshapen teeth
How long does the procedure take?
Transformation is quite quick. The procedure typically takes two visits. During the first appointment, your dentist will evaluate your smile and take impressions to guide the custom fabrication of your Lumineers. At the second visit, the dentist will assess the fit of your Lumineers, make a few adjustments, and use durable adhesives to bond them in place.
Is it painful to get Lumineers?
Not at all. Placing Lumineers is one of the most comfortable dental procedures. Unlike traditional veneers that require reshaping healthy enamel, placing Lumineers is a minimally invasive procedure. Your restorations are placed directly on your teeth after little to no enamel alteration. Additionally, there is no post-op sensitivity or discomfort, allowing you to resume your everyday activities right after treatment.
Can I eat anything with Lumineers?
Technically, there are no limitations to what you can eat with Lumineers. However, you should avoid very sticky or hard foods. Similarly, don’t use your teeth as tools to tear packages or bite fingernails. Generally, be mindful of your habits as you would with natural teeth or traditional veneers.
Can Lumineers stain?
Lumineers are made from highly stain-resistant materials. That means they will maintain their white appearance year after year, keeping your smile radiant. However, remember that the surrounding teeth can stain over time. Practice good oral hygiene, avoid smoking, and maintain regular cleanings to keep your smile consistently white.
How long do Lumineers last?
While Lumineers are ultra-thin, don’t let this fool you. Lumineers can last 10-20 years with good maintenance. Their longevity makes them a fantastic long-term investment in your smile and confidence. The best part? Lumineers offers a warranty that may allow for replacement at no cost, although terms and conditions apply.
Can I remove Lumineers later?
In many cases, yes. Because Lumineers require minimal tooth preparation, they are considered a more reversible option compared to traditional veneers. However, this depends on your individual case and should be discussed with your dentist.
