What are the prs and cons of porcelain veneers? Lumineers?
I have two Lumineers and one veneer. I like the Lumineers because it has a more teeth-look to them. it's more shiny, transparent. I have these two on my front tooth to cover a gap. The veneer is "flat" in color and if you get a few together, imo, can look like dentures. But before I got the Lumineers on the other teeth, I didn't really notice this difference, so you may not also. The veneer was much cheaper though. I have mines near the back so it's not really noticeable. About $500-$800. The lumineers were $1200 w/a $200 discount...so $1400...just for the tooth, not including prepping it like cement.





The Lumineer required no drilling like u said. So there is no pain or shots needed. And if I ever decide to remove the lumineer, my tooth won't be harmed too much. But the veneer, my tooth was shaved down to a nub. I had to be numbed for that. I was a bit sad to see my old teeth shaved down like that.





Go to a cosmetic dentist, most are these days but make sure cuz they are trained to make it look more pleasing. My veneer was done really poorly by a reg dentist. I had it redone with a cosmetic and looks really nice. With either of them, they can chip. I haven't had the problem with my veneers for 3 years. Still looks as good as the first day. For the Lumineers, it is too early to tell. I've had them for about a month and no problems so far. Also, you may have to replace them in the future.





For lumineers, if you put them in the front, they will be slightly thicker than your reg tooth. Just slightly so you may have to adjust. I didn't find it much of a difference though.





Overall, I am pleased with both of them. Lumineers come out slightly forward because of how real they look. Good luck!
Reply:A friend of mine had them done and the look wonderful but, just last week she noticed a crack in one of the front ones and then part of it fell off so, she has to wait for a new one to be made with this temporary one on that looks a little odd.
