Generally what experienced cosmetic dentists will do when there are existing crowns is to simply replace the crowns. When you know what you&#8217;re doing, it&#8217;s about the same amount of work and about the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/cosmetic\/porcelainveneerscost.htm\">cost as porcelain veneers<\/a>. And there&#8217;s much less risk of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>A good cosmetic dentist can get new porcelain to bond to old porcelain, but it tends to stain on the margins after a few years. And, as I said, the technique is tricky. The old porcelain has to be etched and primed, and generally only dentists who do a <em>lot<\/em> of cosmetic dentistry have the proper equipment and materials to do that.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re getting a lot of stories of problems with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/cosmetic\/Lumineers.htm\">Lumineers<\/a>, and I think it&#8217;s because the company that makes them promotes them as being so easy, that general dentists who know little about cosmetic dentistry are doing them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d\u00a0insist that\u00a0this dentist\u00a0replace these Lumineers with new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/porcelaincrowns.htm\">all-porcelain crowns<\/a>, assuming he or she knows how to do that, or pay to have you go to someone who knows what he or she is doing and have them do that.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hall<\/p>\n<p>Related information:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/cosmetic\/Lumineers_cost.htm\">cost of Lumineers<\/a><br \/>\nclick here for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/referral.htm\">referral to an expert cosmetic dentist<\/a><br \/>\ntaking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/porcelain-veneer-care.htm\">care of porcelain veneers<\/a> after they&#8217;re placed<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/cosmetic\/vivaneers.htm\">Vivaneers<\/a> are a brand of veneers very similar to Lumineers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Hall, Our dentist placed Lumineers over my wife&#8217;s top 4 front teeth, that were already porcelain, at a cost of around $5,000.00 On three or four occasions at least one of the Lumineers has come off.
