Lumineers

Transform Your Smile Without Drilling

Lumineers are a special brand of ultra-thin veneers—about as thin as a contact lens—that cover discolored, worn down, chipped, broken, uneven, irregularly shaped, misaligned, or gapped teeth. Because they're so thin, Lumineers require little to no removal of your natural tooth enamel, which means no shots and no drilling in most cases.

Once fitted to your teeth, Lumineers can last up to 20 years with proper care, making them an exceptionally durable cosmetic solution. They don't require any special maintenance beyond your regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.

Lumineers vs. Traditional Veneers

The main difference between Lumineers and traditional veneers is thickness. Lumineers are ultra-thin, so we typically don't need to remove any enamel to place them. Traditional veneers are thicker and usually require some enamel removal to fit properly.

Lumineers also last significantly longer—up to 20 years compared to 5–10 years for traditional veneers. Long-term clinical research shows 100% retention with no discoloration over two decades.

If Lumineers aren't the right fit for your situation, we also offer traditional veneers, bonding, and crowns at Hudson Dental Center.

What to Expect

We can complete your Lumineers in just two comfortable visits:

Visit 1: We'll discuss your goals, choose the shade of white that's right for you, and take a mold of your mouth so your Lumineers can be custom-made to fit perfectly.

Visit 2: We'll place your custom Lumineers over your existing teeth in about an hour. No shots, no drilling—just a beautiful new smile.

While some patients may need other dental treatments first, most people can complete the entire Lumineers process in these two appointments.
