Lumineers are an ultra-thin brand of porcelain veneers made by Den-Mat Corporation. A big selling point is that they are only 0.3 millimeters thick, compared to conventional veneers that are typically 0.5 millimeters thick. This means that often there is no tooth preparation required for the procedure.
