Lumineers offered at Precision Dental Clinic here in our Dubai, UAE office is an incredibly effective and popular cosmetic dental treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. Lumineers are an innovation in the world of veneers that offer benefits to patients that standard porcelain veneers cannot match. Lumineers require no prep work to be performed on your teeth before being placed.
Unlike veneers, Lumineers do not require that enamel be removed from the tooth before being placed. Because Lumineers are thinner than a veneer, removing the enamel is unnecessary since it fits over the tooth simply and without the need for any anesthetic.
Conventional veneers require that enamel be removed because they are slightly thicker and would look bulky on an unprepared tooth. Removing the enamel from a tooth is permanent, meaning that the tooth will always need some form of prosthetic such as a crown or veneer, to protect it if the veneer were to be damaged or fall off. Our patients love that Lumineers do not require this invasive preparation step. It makes the process reversible if another treatment option is preferred in the future.
When you get your Lumineers, it will be a process very much like that of getting a veneer. You will consult Dr. Sharon Anand at our office for impressions. Once these are completed, they will be sent to a lab where your Lumineers will be crafted. This step is critical to ensure that your Lumineers will be the proper fit and shape. What differs at this point is that, with veneers, a thin layer of enamel would need to be removed and a set of temporary veneers put into place while waiting for the final product. Since Lumineers are only .2mm thick, no enamel removal is necessary, meaning you will not need to wear temporaries while waiting for your Lumineers to arrive. And you do not need to worry that Lumineers because they are thinner, are weaker. Lumineers are just as durable as veneers and should last up to 15 years with proper care.
Lumineers are a fantastic alternative to standard veneers. Lumineers can correct the same range of issues that a veneer does, including:

Highly recommended. Dr Sharon Anand is a highly proficient and professional doctor. She gave me some very good honest advice and even advised not to change old silver filings because they simply don’t need it (and causes more issues than good, unless you need to of course). Super friendly and relaxed practice and decent value for money.
