Lumineers for cavities

I have a lot of cavities and I’m embarrassed by my smile. Will Lumineers fix the cavities on top of the look of my teeth?

Becky,

Lumineers are a specific brand of porcelain veneers. Regardless of the brand of porcelain veneers you choose, they are intended solely for cosmetic use and, therefore, will not repair your cavities.

Depending on the size of your cavities, it is possible to have your cavities filled and then have veneers placed on top of them. However, if your cavities are of a substantial percentage of your tooth, then you’ll need to work with porcelain crowns instead.
