Lumineers®
What Are Lumineers®?
Lumineers are ultra-thin, highly durable dental veneers that offer a seamless way to transform your smile with minimal alteration to your natural teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers require little to no tooth preparation, meaning the process is comfortable, quick, and preserves your original tooth structure. They’re designed to fit flawlessly over your existing teeth, providing a brighter, straighter smile that can last up to 20 years.
The Benefits
- Long-Lasting Durability: Lumineers can last up to 20 years with proper care, giving you confidence in a lasting investment.
- Ultra-Thin Design: Measuring around 0.2mm in thickness, they are as thin as a contact lens, providing a natural look and feel without bulk.
- Minimal Tooth Alteration: Because of their unique design, there’s no need for tooth reshaping or drilling and unlike veneers, the enamel does not need to be trimmed.
- Quick and Painless Procedure: With only two simple visits, you can achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Everything you need to know about Lumineers
Getting Teeth Lumineers in London
Lumineers can be the perfect answer for a lot of patients – those with minor alignment, discolouration and other mild issues that cause self-concsiousness. The process of getting Lumineers is very fast and one of the most natural options – no grinding or shaping of your teeth or enamel, making it reversible as well as able to achieve quite significant aesthetic enhancements.
If I grind my teeth, can I still get Lumineers?
If you grind your teeth, Lumineers may still be an option, but your dentist might recommend wearing a night guard to protect them. Chronic grinding can damage Lumineers over time, so a guard can help prolong their life.
Will Lumineers feel different from my natural teeth when I eat or speak?
Most patients find that Lumineers feel very natural and don’t interfere with eating or speaking once they get used to them. Since they’re thin and minimally invasive, they don’t significantly alter the sensation or functionality of your bite.
What happens if a Lumineer becomes loose or falls off?
If a Lumineer becomes loose or falls off, it’s essential to contact your dentist immediately. They can typically re-bond the Lumineer if there’s no damage. Avoid chewing on the affected area until it is repaired to prevent further complications.
How do I take care of my Lumineers to maximize their lifespan?
Good oral hygiene is essential for Lumineers to last. Brush and floss daily, avoid biting into hard objects, and try to limit consumption of highly staining foods and drinks. Regular dental check-ups will also help ensure any minor issues are caught early before they affect the Lumineers.
Will I need to make frequent follow-up visits after getting Lumineers?
Follow-up visits aren’t generally required beyond regular dental check-ups. However, you should inform your dentist of any discomfort or if the Lumineers feel loose. Your dentist can then make adjustments or provide advice on maintaining them.
Can Lumineers fix a chipped or broken tooth?
Yes, Lumineers can cover and restore the appearance of chipped or slightly broken teeth, provided the damage is not extensive. They help achieve a smooth, natural look while protecting the underlying tooth.
Do Lumineers stain or discolor over time?
Lumineers are highly stain-resistant, so they typically maintain their color well. Unlike natural teeth, they don’t absorb stains from foods or beverages, although excessive consumption of dark or acidic substances can still affect their appearance over time.
How long does the process of getting Lumineers take from start to finish?
The process usually takes two appointments. In the first visit, impressions and photos are taken to custom-create your Lumineers. During the second visit, they are fitted and bonded to your teeth. Typically, the entire process takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the dental lab's turnaround time.
What should I expect in terms of appearance immediately after the procedure?
Immediately after getting Lumineers, your teeth will look brighter and more uniform. Some people experience minor sensitivity, but this usually subsides within a few days. You’ll be able to see the final appearance right away, with no need for post-procedure adjustments.
How do Lumineers compare with other alternatives, like composite bonding?
Lumineers and composite bonding both address cosmetic concerns, but they differ in materials, longevity, and durability. Lumineers are made of ultra-thin porcelain, which is stain-resistant and durable, typically lasting 10–20 years with proper care. Composite bonding, made from resin, is less durable and may stain over time, generally lasting 5–7 years. However, composite bonding is usually more affordable and can be applied in a single visit, making it a good option for minor, quick fixes.
Are there any long-term health risks associated with Lumineers?
There are no significant health risks associated with Lumineers as long as they are properly fitted and maintained. Because they usually don’t require enamel removal, they preserve more of the natural tooth structure compared to traditional veneers. However, poor oral hygiene or issues like gum recession can lead to problems around the edges of the Lumineers, so regular check-ups are important.
How do Lumineers impact my natural tooth structure in the long run?
Lumineers are minimally invasive, often requiring no removal of natural enamel, which preserves the natural tooth structure better than traditional veneers. If you choose to have them removed, your natural teeth are usually intact beneath. However, ongoing care and regular dental visits are essential to prevent gum issues or other dental complications around the edges of the Lumineers.
How are Lumineers different from traditional veneers?
Lumineers are ultra-thin, highly translucent shells that fit over teeth, providing a natural appearance with minimal preparation. Unlike traditional veneers, which often require removing a small amount of enamel for a snug fit, Lumineers usually don't require any enamel removal, making them a reversible option. They’re also thinner and more flexible than traditional veneers, allowing for a less invasive approach.
Is the Lumineers procedure painful?
No, the Lumineers procedure is typically painless. Since no drilling or removal of enamel is usually needed, most patients do not require anesthesia and experience minimal discomfort. After placement, there may be slight sensitivity, but this usually subsides within a few days.
How long will Lumineers last?
With proper care, Lumineers can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can help extend their lifespan.
Can Lumineers be taken off if I want them removed?
Yes, because Lumineers do not typically require enamel removal, they can be removed if desired. However, it’s best to consult with your dentist to understand the process and potential impact on your natural teeth before making a decision.
Can I get Lumineers as an alternative to braces?
Lumineers can correct certain cosmetic issues, such as small gaps, minor misalignment, or discoloration, but they won’t address significant alignment issues or bite correction, which braces or clear aligners are designed for. If you have mild cosmetic concerns, Lumineers may be an alternative, but for comprehensive orthodontic needs, braces or aligners may still be necessary.
Do I have to get my other teeth whitened after getting veneers treatment?
Since Lumineers are matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth, many people choose to whiten their teeth before the procedure to achieve an even, bright smile. Once Lumineers are in place, they will not respond to whitening treatments, so you’ll want to discuss whitening options with your dentist prior to the procedure.
What is the cost of dental Lumineers in London?
The cost of Lumineers in London typically ranges from £700 to £1,200 per tooth, depending on the complexity of the case, the dentist’s expertise, and any additional treatments needed. Prices can vary significantly, so it's best to consult with your dental provider for a precise quote.
