A permanently whiter smile — with no drilling, no shots, no sensitivity
Lumineers® by Cerinate® are ultra-thin porcelain veneers that deliver a beautiful, aligned smile without the drilling and anesthetic required by traditional veneers. Because they are thinner than a contact lens, most patients need no tooth preparation at all.
- No drilling, no shots — a genuinely painless smile transformation
- Permanently whiter, straighter appearance in just two visits
- Reversible — natural tooth structure remains completely intact
Custom-crafted Cerinate® porcelain, bonded permanently to your smile
Lumineers are fabricated from Cerinate® porcelain — one of the strongest and thinnest dental laminates available. Dr. Patel custom-matches each shell to your desired shade and shape, then bonds it permanently to the front surface of the tooth.
Because Lumineers are so thin, little or no existing tooth structure needs to be removed before placement. Your natural teeth remain fully intact underneath — making Lumineers one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available, and one of the very few that can be reversed if you ever choose to remove them.
Why choose Lumineers®?
Lumineers offer the cosmetic results of traditional veneers with far less chair time, no discomfort, and no permanent alteration to your natural teeth.
Traditional veneers require grinding down the front surface of each tooth before placement. Lumineers are thin enough to bond directly over existing tooth structure — meaning no drilling, no removal of enamel, and no permanent modification to your natural teeth in most cases.
Because no tooth preparation is needed, most Lumineers patients require no anesthetic at either appointment. There is no post-procedure sensitivity and no recovery period — you leave the office with a transformed smile and go straight back to your day.
A single Lumineers treatment can address discoloration, chips, gaps, worn edges, and minor misalignment simultaneously. Each shell is custom-crafted to the precise shade, shape, and position that creates the most natural-looking improvement for your smile.
Once bonded, Lumineers are permanently fixed to the front of your teeth. The Cerinate® porcelain bond provides both strength and stability, making the veneers resistant to chipping and staining while maintaining a natural appearance that holds up under everyday use.
Because no enamel is removed during the Lumineers procedure, the treatment is reversible — a distinction that traditional veneers cannot offer. Your natural teeth remain entirely intact underneath, giving you the confidence that this cosmetic improvement does not permanently alter your tooth structure.
