They can work well: Lumineers can be very beautiful. This is a brand name for a type of veneer. So remember there are other types of veneers or other cosmetic procedures that are used just as well to create beautiful smiles. See your dentist and find out what your treatment options are.

Lumineers: I am not quite sure what you mean by "really work". If you mean will they give you a beautiful smile, certainly can if you are a candidate for their placement. You need to see you dentist and discuss your goals and treatment options so you can pick the best fit for you.

Lumineers: Lumineers are nothing more than a particular brand name of porcelain laminates with special marketing techniques that promotes it as special. Any dentist can use other materials for same effect. It's more the experience and ability of the dentist than the product. All porcelain laminates when used under the right conditions by a skilled dentist, for the right reasons are an excellent option.

Yes, if done right: Lumineers depend upon the bond to the tooth to adhere. Contrary to previous marketing they did, tooth structure does need to be removed for the best results. Lumineers are basically porcelain veneers, which have been a treatment in dentistry now for close to 30 years. With a trusted dentist lumineers or porcelain veneers can last for a long time if properly cared for by patients.
