Lumineers in Aldergrove
A Conservative Way to Enhance the Appearance of Your Smile
What Are
Lumineers?
Lumineers are ultra-thin dental veneers designed to cover the visible surfaces of teeth and improve their appearance. Similar to traditional porcelain veneers, they can help enhance the colour, shape and overall look of selected teeth while maintaining a natural-looking smile.
One of the key differences is that Lumineers may require little to no removal of natural tooth structure in suitable cases. At

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is the difference between Lumineers and veneers?
Lumineers are a specific type of thin veneer designed to require minimal tooth preparation in suitable cases. Traditional porcelain veneers may require more preparation of the natural tooth. The better option depends on your teeth, bite and the cosmetic changes you want to achieve.
Do Lumineers require enamel removal?
One of the advantages of Lumineers is that they may require little to no enamel removal for suitable patients. However, every smile is different, and some preparation may still be necessary depending on your teeth and desired result.
Do Lumineers look natural?
Lumineers are designed to create a natural-looking cosmetic result. Their shape and shade can be selected to complement your smile, although the final appearance depends on factors such as your existing tooth colour, tooth position and treatment goals.
What cosmetic concerns can Lumineers address?
Lumineers may help improve certain concerns involving tooth colour, minor chips, small gaps, uneven shapes or differences in tooth size. More significant alignment, bite or restorative concerns may require another form of dental treatment.
How do I know if Lumineers are right for me?
Dr. Soong can assess your teeth, gums and bite and discuss the changes you would like to make. Based on your oral health and cosmetic goals, he can determine whether Lumineers, traditional veneers or another cosmetic treatment may be more appropriate.
