Are lumineers as good as porcelain veneers?

Q. Hi there, I’m e-mailing from N. Ireland. After reading extensively regarding Veneers / Lumineers ( I have 2 crowns at the side of my front teeth). Firstly, before I start searching for a cosmetic dentist, what qualifications do I need to look out for ? Also, are Lumineers as good as a porcelain veneer and do they last as long. Also, If I need root treatment, fillings etc etc after having my lumineers/veneers fitted – can I go to my regular dentist to have this done – OR do I need to see a cosmetic dentist all the time thereafter ? Thank you so much

A. You need to find a good cosmetic dentist and have a consultation, lumineers are just one type of veneer and after a consultation you will know all the options.  Try to find a dentist with a good reputation or a personal recommendation.

DrHello, since it was mentioned in the Lumineer section, thought I’d ask: have you yourself used them to refresh existing fixed work; i.e., do they truly bond to existing porcelain? Love the site,
