However, Lumineers are equally susceptible to your teeth grinding as any other brand.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myoklahomacitydentist.com\/lumineers.html\">Lumineers<\/a> are marketed to dentists as easy to place, which I suspect is why your dentist was pushing those. I&#8217;m guessing he&#8217;s been taking their course.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t despair about getting your smile makeover though. If you just got a mouth guard, it would protect whatever brand of porcelain veneers your chose from your teeth grinding.<\/p>\n<p>I strongly suggest you get another dentist to do your veneers.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myoklahomacitydentist.com\">Oklahoma City Dentist<\/a> Dr. Don Swearingen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to get porcelain veneers, but my dentist said because I grind my teeth I should get Lumineers.
