I’m getting a smile makeover and wondered if I should get Lumineers and porcelain veneers?

Danielle,

I hope you won’t mind me saying you’re going about this the wrong way. You’re trying to do the job of the dentist. One thing you may not be aware of is that Lumineers ARE porcelain veneers. They’re just a specific brand of porcelain veneers.

Each brand has different strengths and weaknesses. Dentists know these nuances. My best advice is for you to find a really good cosmetic dentist, tell him what kind of smile you’re wanting, and let him decide which brand of porcelain veneers to get.
