Could you give some details on Lumineers?

Q. HI, I have a gap in my two front teeth and want to close it. I have been to the dentist who advises invisalign or veeners. I didnt want the veeners I dont want to have my teeth enamel removed and invisalign is quite expensive and I am not sure whether I want to go through that. I then came accross lumineers and got very excited as I thought thats for me!!No invasive procedure great. What do you think to them do they look nice and are they safe.Are they really reversable.Or would you just go for direct bonding I have some already now that needs redoing could it just be touched up and not have to be drilled off.

A. Lumineers a brand name for veneers.  They are marketed as non prep veneers but can often require some tooth shaping.  Once they are bonded on they do need to be drilled off if they require replacement.  If you have gaps betwen your teeth yo may requre “proper” veneers to prevent the 2 front teeth from looking too wide.
