Philadelphia Lumineers

Lumineers® ultra-thin porcelain veneers are made by DenMat. Many people are attracted to this brand because it is advertised as a way to receive a smile makeover in two visits without any preparation of your natural teeth. But how do Lumineers compare with other brands of ultra-thin veneers?

Lumineers vs Other Brands

  • Ultra thin – Other brands produce ultra-thin veneers, too. Ultra-thin veneers can also be handcrafted by master dental ceramists who layer porcelain to achieve lifelike results.
  • No preparation – No-prep veneers can make the smile makeover process go faster and more comfortably. With some cases, this approach will work and can give a beautiful result. However, in other cases it can result in the teeth looking bulky. In some cases, minimal preparation of your teeth could be required for a beautiful smile. Dr. Weiss will discuss your options with you and help you know the expected results in your case.
  • Aesthetics – Trademark restrictions require Lumineers to be made in the DenMat dental laboratory. Many cosmetic dentists feel that the work coming out of that laboratory makes patients’ teeth look bulky and chalky. They prefer using their own ceramists, whom they feel produce much more beautiful results. Dr. Weiss is a dentist who prefers using his own master ceramist who works with other brands of ultra-thin veneers.

A Beautiful Smile Guarantee

Dr. Weiss is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. His smile designs come with a beautiful smile guarantee. He values your input throughout the smile makeover process and incorporates your feedback to ensure you receive a smile that you will love—even if it means sending your porcelain veneers back to his ceramist be completely remade. When appropriate and preferred by the patient, he will do no-preparation veneers, but he prefers using other brands of ultra-thin porcelain.

The photos below are an example of a natural-looking smile transformation from Dr. Weiss. This patient wanted teeth a little longer and a little whiter. While we’re not showing the full face here, you can tell from the after photograph that the patient now has a broad, relaxed smile reflecting her improved self-confidence.

Patient Reviews

I moved to Pennsylvania 2 years ago. I don’t know anyone who likes to go to the dentist. This is one dentist I like to go to. He is personable, professional and extremely skillful. If you become lucky to get into his care you are going to highly benefit. It isn’t just an office visit but specific care and information to extend the life of your dental health. Dr. Weiss and his staff do everything possible to put you into your best smile and health.

I am in my 50's and have seen a good number of top notch dentists. Of those, Dr. Weiss is in a league above. Besides being meticulous and thorough, he and his staff are gentle and concerned with every aspect of the patient's comfort. You will not find any dentist that is more skilled.

Dr. Weiss gave me a smile makeover with porcelain veneers. The procedure was absolutely comfortable and my teeth look so natural. I love how they look!! People are always complimenting me on my beautiful smile. Dr. Weiss’s expert eye with color and attention to detail make him the finest cosmetic dentist I know.

Dr. Weiss and his team are outstanding. They are thorough yet gentle, and take great care to ensure you are comfortable. Everyone in the office is highly skilled, professional, and kind. I trust his work and advice completely. Lovely office that puts you at ease the moment you enter.
Mary
I'm a long-time patient of Dr. Weiss and was hesitant about doing crowns on my six upper front teeth. No more! I am so happy with my smile transformation! Dr. Weiss performed wonders. I have my confidence—and my smile—back.
Eileen
After having trouble with previous dental work, I researched 8 dentists to fix it and came to Dr. Weiss. He is in a league of his own. The work he did for me is nothing short of perfection. On top of that, he takes the time to explain everything. Furthermore, he is accredited by the AACD and if you do your research, you will realize that this is no small achievement.
