Lumineers: The Path to Your Perfect Smile
Lumineers – the name alone makes you think of bright, shining, and luminous smiles. These ultra-thin, ultra-comfortable veneers have revolutionized cosmetic dentistry, and we're thrilled to offer this life-changing solution at Hillcrest Dental.
It is the only minimally invasive little to no drill cosmetic option that avoids drilling off healthy tooth structure and conserves their natural tooth structure. Our doctors believe in conserving tooth structure whenever possible.
What Are Lumineers?
Lumineers are a remarkable dental innovation, paving the way for achieving your ultimate smile without the need for tooth preparation. These veneers are custom-crafted from a patented porcelain material that is incredibly thin and translucent, designed to give you the beautiful smile you've always dreamt of.
