Lumineers in Anthem, AZ
Ultra-thin porcelain veneers that can brighten and reshape your smile, often with little or no removal of your natural tooth.
What Are Lumineers?
A Brighter Smile, With a Gentler Approach
Lumineers are a brand of porcelain veneers that are about as thin as a contact lens. They bond to the front of your teeth to cover stains, chips and small gaps, and to even out the shape and size of your smile.
Because they’re so thin, Lumineers usually need much less preparation than traditional veneers. Many patients don’t need shots or drilling at all, and the results look natural.
Lumineers may be right for you if you have:
- Stained or discolored teeth that whitening can’t fix
- Chipped, worn or uneven teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Teeth that are slightly crooked or misshapen
- A wish to update older crowns or veneers

Questions
Lumineers FAQ
Does getting Lumineers hurt?
Most patients find it very comfortable. Because little or no tooth reshaping is usually needed, many people don’t need numbing shots at all.
How long do Lumineers last?
With good brushing, flossing and regular checkups, Lumineers can last for many years. We’ll give you tips to keep them looking their best.
Can I whiten my teeth instead?
Whitening works well for many stains, but it can’t fix chips, gaps or uneven shapes, and some stains don’t respond to whitening. We’ll help you pick the best option.
How much do Lumineers cost?
Cost depends on how many teeth you’d like to treat. We’ll give you a clear price at your consultation, and you can spread the cost into monthly payments with Cherry payment plans.
