how long do lumineers last

Q. Hi Komal, I really want to get my teeth sorted out, had a real bodge job done on my front tooth when I was 10 jumoed into a pool and it split in half the bond has discoloured and is so not cemetrical, so I think I would want perhaps the Lumineers on my 2 front teeth then the rest of my mouth bleached white, can you give me a rough estimate of how much I am looking at getting this done as I have no idea, 1 dentist said something like 800 per tooth to Lumineer and another is saying 450 I just wnat a realistic price for the whole job (estimate) so I can thing about having a consultation. Everyone I know says how I have a great smile and so happy but I would like to have a pretty white smile as its not at the moment it knocks my confidence bigtime. Also how long do the Lumineers last on average and is there any special treatment I will need to give them after the surgery? I look forward to hearing from you

A.
Be very careful with Lumineers they are only suitable for a very small group of people. You should have a consultation with a cosmetic dentist that can give you all the options available. Lumoneers have been marketed very heavily but they are not always the best option. If you want the best treatment carried out then you should investigate all options. The other teeth can also be whitened. Veneers can cost between £600 and £1500. In finding a dentist you should ask to have a look at before and after pictures so you can judge the quality of the work yourself. If the tooth that was broken did in fact split in half then a veneer would not be suitable . You may need a crown which is why it is crucial that you have a proper consultation appointment.
Kind Regards

10 years they shouldn’t look too damaged but depends on the amount of prep you have
