A. A lumineer is a type of veneer. Actually it is a company in the USA who has branded the veneers that they make with the name lumineer. They are made using the Denmat corporations cerinate ceramic.
There mainly marketed as been very thin, so allowing no preparation veneers, and their strength. There are many other veneers made using other methods which can be made as thin and as strong ( if not stronger ) as lumineers.

We regularly get asked at my surgery for lumineers which is a testament to the Denmat marketing skills. However the choice on which type of veneer should be used is based on sound clinical judgment.

Kindest regards
