The Verdict
Which type of veneer or brand is entirely dependent on the patient. This is because everyone’s teeth and specifications are different.
In many cases, veneers are suitable for a wide range of patients since they allow patients to easily design the perfect smile by choosing the colour, shape, and size.
However, because veneers require scraping the enamel, this can be a cause of concern. Lumineers do not affect the original tooth in the same way and are referred to as minimally invasive, which has led to Them becoming more popular for those opting against standard veneers.

However, because everyone’s teeth are different, consulting with an expert restorative dentist like Dr Jethwa is essential, who can advise on the perfect match.
