With a set of veneers from Lumena Dental, you can transform your teeth, boost your confidence, and love your smile once again.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are made from a very thin layer of strong porcelain or resin material. Each veneer is made to fit over a single tooth and cover the front surface. With a set of multiple veneers, you can cover up a wide variety of flaws in your smile, such as:

• Minor chips and wear
• Severe stains
• Small or misshapen teeth
• Uneven teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Slightly crooked or crowded teeth

The Benefits Of Veneers

Love how your smile looks

The biggest benefit of veneers is that you won’t have to hide your teeth, or feel nervous or anxious about how other people see your smile. You can smile proudly in photos, laugh around your friends, speak with confidence, and know that your new teeth look absolutely perfect.

Customize your new teeth

When you get veneers from Dr. Kim at Lumena Dentistry, there are no surprises. Dr. Kim will work closely with you to design your new smile, develop a preview of how your teeth will look, choose the perfect shade for your veneers, and more. You’re always in control!

Minimal care required

Veneers are super strong and stain-resistant. And they don’t require much special care, either. You can treat your new veneers just like natural teeth. Brush at least twice per day, floss once per day, and make sure you visit Dr. Kim and the team at Lumena Dentistry for your routine checkups.

Built to last

As long as you take good care of your teeth, you can expect your veneers to last between 10-15 years. Some patients are able to keep their veneers for up to 20 years. If you’re looking for a long-term investment in your smile, veneers are an excellent choice.

What To Expect From The Veneer Treatment Process

Before you can get veneers from Lumena Dentistry, you’ll need to meet with Dr. Kim for a cosmetic consultation. Together, you can explore all of your options for cosmetic dentistry and determine if veneers are right for you. Once you’re approved, here’s what you can expect from the treatment process:

• Preparing your teeth for veneers – At your first appointment, Dr. Kim will begin by cleaning and numbing your mouth. Then, he may use a dental drill to gently remove a very thin layer of enamel from each tooth that’s getting a veneer. This may be necessary to make sure that your new veneers fit perfectly over your teeth. However, depending on your situation, it may also be possible to also have minimal or no prep veneers.
• Digital scans – The next step is to take a digital scan of your teeth. Dr. Kim will send you home with a set of temporary veneers so that you may test drive your new smile.

• Crafting your new veneers – Dr. Kim will send your veneer designs to our dental lab partner. There, a set of natural, lifelike veneers will be crafted by an expert technician. It usually takes about 3-4 weeks for the lab to complete your veneers and send them back to Lumena Dentistry.
  
• Final veneer placement – Once your veneers are finished and arrive at our office, you’ll come back for one more visit. Dr. Kim will remove your temporary veneers and clean up your teeth. After making sure your veneers fit perfectly and making any necessary final adjustments, he will bond them into place with dental cement. The last step is to buff and polish your teeth to make sure they look perfect, then to send you home to enjoy your new smile.

• Same day 3D printed veneers – In some cases, you may qualify for veneers that can potentially be delivered the same day the teeth are prepped. With 3D veneers, you can walk out of our office with a new smile in just one visit, eliminating the traditional waiting time required for a lab to fabricate your veneers.
