Experience the innovative “no-prep” veneer solution. As certified providers, we use these ultra-thin porcelain shells to instantly correct chips, gaps, and discoloration. Enjoy a radiant, natural-looking smile without the removal of sensitive tooth structure.
Think of Lumineers as contact lenses for your teeth. They are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain shells that bond seamlessly to the front of your natural teeth to instantly hide imperfections.
Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are so thin (about 0.2 mm) that they typically require no removal of sensitive tooth structure. This means no shots, no drilling, and a completely reversible procedure. At South Coast Dental, we use this advanced technology to give you a permanently white, perfectly aligned smile without the discomfort of conventional dentistry.
Lumineers are the ideal solution for patients who want a flawless smile without the commitment of drilling or removing natural enamel. They are perfect for correcting:

The main difference is thickness and preparation. Lumineers are ultra-thin (about the thickness of a contact lens), allowing them to be placed seamlessly over your teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, which require grinding down your natural enamel, Lumineers typically require no extensive drilling, no shots, and no unsightly temporary acrylics.
Because there is typically no need to drill into sensitive tooth structure or remove enamel, the process is virtually pain-free. Most patients do not even require local anaesthesia or numbing shots, making it the perfect solution for patients with dental anxiety.
Transforming your smile with Lumineers is fast and efficient. The entire process is completed in just 2 easy visits, generally spaced a couple of weeks apart. Your first visit involves impressions and photos, and your second visit involves bonding the custom-made shells to your teeth.
Not when placed by a Certified Lumineers Dentist like ours at South Coast Dental. We take precise molds and send them to an authorized Lumineers laboratory to ensure the very best case design for you. We also carefully check your bite and balance your contacts to ensure they look natural and function perfectly.
Yes. Because we do not aggressively grind down your healthy tooth structure to place them, your natural teeth remain intact underneath. This makes Lumineers a reversible treatment option, unlike traditional veneers which are permanent.
Absolutely. Once bonded, Lumineers are extremely durable. During your second visit, we moderately etch your teeth to prepare for placement and bond them one by one for maximum strength. You can enjoy all your favorite foods without worry.
With proper care and regular check-ups, Lumineers can look beautiful for over 20 years. We use the official authorized laboratory to ensure high-quality materials that resist staining and chipping over the course of daily function.
