Porcelain Veneers
Hand-layered porcelain shells for a bright, natural, permanent smile line.
A porcelain veneers plan built around your face
Porcelain Veneers at Lumina is designed, not dispensed. We plan the result to your features and the smile you already have, so the work reads as a quiet improvement rather than an obvious intervention.
Dr. Camille Reyes carries the case from the first preview to the final polish, so the standard holds throughout and you always know exactly what to expect at reveal.

Consult and preview
We start by studying your face, your bite, and the teeth you want to keep, then build a preview so you can see the porcelain veneers result before anything becomes permanent.
Design and match
Shape, shade, and translucency are matched to you, not a template, so the finished smile reads as naturally yours from the first glance and holds up in every light.
Refine and reveal
We place, polish, and refine on site, checking the result against your face and your approval before you leave. Nothing is rushed and nothing is guessed.

Shade, edge length, and the small gap between the front two teeth were all planned in the preview before a single shell was made. Drag the handle to see the same mouth, before and after.

Veneers, bonding, or whitening
Three ways to change how a front tooth reads, and the honest trade-offs between them. Most of our cases end up as a blend rather than one line of this table.

Questions about porcelain veneers
The things people actually ask us at the consult, answered plainly. If yours is not here, the book page is the fastest way to reach the studio.
Not if they are designed properly. We match translucency at the edge, the way light passes through the tip of a real tooth, and we keep a little natural irregularity in the shapes. The tell for obvious veneers is uniformity, so we deliberately avoid it.
A thin layer of enamel, usually under a millimetre, so the porcelain sits flush instead of bulking the tooth forward. It is a permanent change, which is exactly why the preview step comes first.
A single veneer can be remade without touching the others, as long as we still have your design records. We keep them for every case, so a repair matches rather than approximates.
Whiten first, then match the porcelain to the result. Porcelain does not respond to whitening gel, so the order matters. We plan the whole sequence at the consult.
