Lumineers
When you are looking for a way to freshen up your smile, veneers are a good choice because they cover discolored or damaged teeth that are otherwise healthy. Getting the right veneers can restore a bright, white smile. While traditional veneers are a significant procedure that requires quite a bit of work to prepare and apply to your teeth, Lumineers is a brand of veneers that provides a similar look with some advantages over traditional veneers.
Benefits of Lumineers
Lumineers, like any other veneers, are a cosmetic coating that dentists apply to your natural teeth to improve the look of your smile. They are often used to cover flaws such as discolored teeth, minor chips or other damage. They are a popular choice for cosmetic improvements to your smile because they offer:
- A non-porous surface that makes them resistant to staining and maintains that bright, glossy look for many years
- A thinner design and simpler application that requires little prep work, so it is much faster and easier than traditional veneers
- The ability to cover up yellowing, discolored, broken or chipped teeth so you cannot see imperfections; however, because Lumineers are thinner than traditional veneers, they may not be an option for severely discolored teeth
- A quick fix for small or unusually shaped teeth to create a flawless, uniform look for your smile
- Semi-permanent application that lasts 10 to 20 years, but can be removed later with minimal damage to your teeth if you change your mind; traditional veneers require that a dentist grind down the front of your tooth, so you cannot remove them
Other Factors to Consider
One important thing to understand about Lumineers and veneers is that the procedure is often considered cosmetic, which means most dental insurance plans will not pay for it. Lumineers may be less expensive than traditional veneers, but can still be costly, particularly if you are planning to get them on multiple teeth. They are bonded to your teeth, but bacteria can grow around the edges of the veneer, which means you need to be extra vigilant about oral hygiene to prevent tooth decay.

- I had Molds done today, it was painless and effortless cus My dental hygienist Mark Martinez was amazingly helpful. He sweetly helped me stop panicking cus i didn't breathe through my nose. I'm looking forward to my next appointments like always, because all front desk folks treat me so well. I have not great teeth but no one there has ever caused me embarrassment nor made me uncomfortable (which is opposite of past dentists). Thank you for giving me a confident smile since I began coming to you guys about 5 years ago 💕Young Family Dental Thanks JJread moreread less

- Updated Review January 2024
After a not-so-great experience at Young Family Dental, I was hesitant, but Dr. Gervasi and assistant Abby turned things around for me. Following a previous bad encounter, they took the time to understand and address my dental issues, making me willing to stick with Young Family Dental as long as Dr. Gervasi is there. His thorough examination and caring approach transformed my dental visit into a positive one.
June 2023
My experience with Young Family Dental in 2023 has been extremely disappointing. After seeking their help for an extraction in June, I developed a persistent, excruciating pain in my gums on the side where the extraction was performed. The doctor initially dismissed it, attributing it to a possible nerve irritation. However, as the months passed, the pain only worsened, affecting my sleep and causing headaches.
Upon returning to the office, the doctor's response was equally unsatisfactory. He admitted to not having encountered such a case before and promised to research further. The conversation felt awkward and left me questioning the competence of the dental care provided. It's disheartening because I've never had issues with previous dentists, and I deeply regret not researching Young Family Dental's reviews before choosing their services. I wouldn't recommend this dental office to anyone.read moreread lessWent in to young family dental today as a new patient. Had to change dentist due to insurance. So I was very nervous and skeptical about changing. But Madi who assisted me was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely go back and will refer my friends and family.read moreread lessI had an infected tooth for almost 2 weeks. Nobody would see me. I went in to get x-rays done. They looked at it and said it needed to be out and pulled it out. John and Amanda were the absolute best 👌 they Checked on me constantly during the process and made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed and helped me feel like I was safe. 10 out 10 for them them!!!! Definitely going back.read moreread less - Dr. Park at Young Family Dental (my Dentist these past few years) has been profoundly professional and ethical in all of my experiences with him.

- Dr white was incredible. I’ve had atleast 20 different dentists in my 25 years of dental work and she was incredible. She was so good and I didn’t feel anything and she’s trying to help my entire smile. She cared so much and has the best work I’ve ever seen done. So grateful I found her 🙂read moreread less
- Jared from the Orem Office was a great help to my mother! She couldn’t speak English, but he was so patient in explaining the procedures to the best of his abilities. In fact, he was so great at taking care of my mother that I decided to come back for my own treatments. Thank you to the Orem office and staff!!read moreread less

“These guys are awesome! I had a tooth break on a Friday afternoon and they got me in right away! I’ve since seen 3 different dentists there and have no complaints. The office staff is incredible and friendly. I still am not a huge fan of going to the dentist, but this office has really helped alleviate my fears and dental anxiety. I would recommend them to anyone.”

I’ve known Dr. Chris for over 10 years, and my experience with him has been awesome. I got Invisalign with him to straighten my teeth, and it was incredible to have straight teeth! It was great, too, that I was an adult and I didn’t have to walk around with braces like a teenage weirdo. Chris and YFD are excellent, I highly recommend them.

I took both my 8 year old and 3 year old daughters there, and it was great experience from beginning to end. It was the first time for my 3 year old (don’t judge me ?) Jacqueline was great at making it a fun experience for her. Jessica helped take care of my 8 year old who had some infection on a tooth she had worked on a while ago. And the dentist was great too. Overall, everyone was friendly, everything was clean, and at the end I had a credit on my account that I didn’t know was there which was an added bonus.

I love young family dental! Their assistants are great and make me feel comfortable which is important to me because I don’t like going to the dentist. The dentists are very informative and make me feel at ease as well. They take extra time and care to make sure you fully understand what is being done and what needs to be done. If you need a check up, a cleaning, or work done stop or call young family in Riverton Utah, they are great!!
