Is there a cheaper alternative to porcelain veneers?

Conventional whitening techniques wont work because the stains on my teeth are as a result of antibiotics and penetrate through the teeth. My friend said she heard that there is something new that has come out that is similar to veneers, but alot cheaper. Anyone got any idea what this could be? She says it began with an 'L' if that helps!!!

You are looking for "Lumineers." I'm a lot happier with "traditional" porcelain veneers. The "real" veneers that we do today started out just like Lumineers; without much preparation of the teeth. The current technique evolved because the old technique was not very reliable.





Maybe I'm missing something in the updated technique, but I'm fine with not knowing. I've heard too many complaints already about Lumineers popping off after just a couple of weeks.





ASK YOUR DENTIST how he feels about Lumineers vs. "Traditional" veneers.
Reply:Yes, there is a technique called Lumineers I think? With this type of veneers you don't have to reduce teeth structure. Also , some times you can correct with composite fillings, but I wouldn't recommend that. Also, did you consult with a dentist about Zoom Whitening? It is done in the office with a Light and that might work. Good luck!
