Are Lumineers suitable for your teeth and planned smile design?
Lumineers are thin prefabricated or laboratory-made ceramic veneers; suitability depends on enamel, bite, tooth colour, spacing, and the planned design.
How are thin ceramic veneers planned and bonded to teeth?
They are bonded to the front of teeth after diagnosis, shade planning, trial design, and preparation that varies with the tooth and material.
What should a Cape Town veneer consultation confirm?
A Cape Town consultation should confirm the clinician’s training, material, laboratory workflow, preparation plan, bite checks, maintenance, and what happens if a veneer chips or debonds.
