Lumineers are more costly than other porcelain veneers?

Are they?!?: Lumineers are porcelain veneers. Though not a fan, personally or professionally, the major concern should not be cost, but rather longevity. At 23, you have a life expectancy of ~85 years, veneers average 12-15 years of use them need to be replaced. That's 4-5 times in your life. Think about it!

Depends on provider: It depends on the dentist providing the treatment and his expertice with different restorativeaterials.

No: They really shouldn't be, because as stated previously, they are porcelain veneers. There is only on billing code for porcelain veneers, so in all likelihood the dentist will one have one fee regardless of the "brand" of veneer he is placing. As also stated above they may need to replaced over time. If you do get them, highly consider wear a night guard to protect them and your other teeth.

Not sure...: Lumineers are a brand of porcelain veneer. They are made in specific laboratories which have paid for training and use of the lumineer brand.

I would recommend speaking with friends....

No: Many times they actually are less expensive. I personally find that other options are more lifelike and natural looking than lumineers. Their second generation is better, but still limited. In my hands i prefer emax veneers layered with porcelain. When done correctly they are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.

No: Veneer prices range significantly... Please ask your dentist for pros and cons and risks/benefits before making any final decisions.

Veneer costs: Lumineers is simply a brand of minimal prep or no prep ceramic veneers. There are many companies that make these. The prices vary based on your area and dentist.
