How are dental Lumineers done?
Dental Lumineers are similar to dental veneers. First, the dentist examines the case and takes X-rays to ensure it suits Lumineers. Then, the dentist prepares the lenses by taking measurements, choosing the appropriate shape and color to match the original teeth, and sending them to the laboratory. In the final stage, the dentist permanently installs the lenses.

Anesthesia types used during the process
A customized pattern is appropriate for the method of anesthesia used during each cosmetic or treatment procedure. Local anesthesia is used for dental Lumineers or cosmetic dental veneers.
