Question 1

how lumineers provide strength to broken tooth? and also lumineers can cover the back side of broken part?

Accepted Answer

All Veneers-: First, "lumineers" are merely a brand name with a lot of marketing.  It's the expertise of the dentist and the lab technician that matter most!  veneers are more of a cosmetic covering of teeth, although they can be used to partially replace chips, worn or decayed parts of teeth.  Veneers usually just cover the front parts of teeth, although they do wrap around to the back somewhat.

Question 2
