_{Dr. Popp can apply these contact lens-thin "smile shapers" to teeth without any grinding or shaving,
transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. Lumineers can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them.}

_{Lumineers are contact lens-thin and are placed over existing teeth without having to remove painful tooth structure (unlike traditional veneers.) Also, since your natural tooth structure is not altered they are completely reversible. Lumineers is the painless, permanent cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, discolored or misaligned teeth.}

^{Treatment Time: Two office visits. The teeth will be prepared and an impression made on the first visit, which can take from one to four hours. The laminates will be fitted and inserted at the second visit, which may take the same amount of time. Expect to spend more time for more extensive treatment.}

^{Patient Maintenance: The teeth should be professionally cleaned about three to four times yearly. Some precautions: as with bonding and crowning, take special care when chewing hard foods or biting into foods with your laminated teeth, to avoid chipping or potential fracture.}

^{Results of Treatment: A polished, natural-appearing result that can make teeth appear straighter, whiter.}

^{Average Range of Treatment Life Expectancy: Ten to fifteen years.}

^{Cost: Approximately $900 to $1400.}
