Lubbock Lumineers

Lumineers are a particular brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers. Their chief advantage is that they are a little stronger than conventional porcelain veneers, which means that they can be made a little thinner. They have been heavily advertised, so many consumers are most familiar with this brand. However, there are a number of brands of similar porcelains, and some of them, such as DURAthin and Vivaneers, are just as strong and can be made just as thin as Lumineers.

Lubbock cosmetic dentist Dr. Jeremy Burke is familiar with all of the different brands available, and can discuss with you their pros and cons. In the end, though, what matters is that you have a beautiful smile.

Are Lumineers right for you?

Here are some points to remember about Lumineers

  • Because of trademark restrictions, the Lumineers brand of porcelain veneers has to be made in the DenMat Laboratory. Many cosmetic dentists feel that this laboratory isn't the best for cosmetic work.
  • Lumineers have been criticized by cosmetic dentists as looking too opaque and unnatural, and sometimes the results also end up looking bulky.

Pick the Dentist & Let the Dentist Pick the Brand of Porcelain

Would you commission an artist to do a painting for you and then tell the artist what brand of paint to use and what kind of brush? Of course not. Well, a smile is a work of art. In the same way, we think the way to get a beautiful smile is to first find a dentist who is a true artist and is passionate about creating beautiful smiles. Then let the dentist pick the materials that he or she is most comfortable using, and will give the results that you desire. Dr. Burke is a true artist in his work, and has demonstrated that with his many successful smile makeovers. He stands behind his work with a beautiful smile guarantee.
