Lumineers® in Houston, TX
Not everyone wants a major dental procedure to improve their smile, and you should not have to choose between doing nothing and doing something drastic. Lumineers® in Houston, TX, at Vintage Smile Family Dentistry offer a thin, conservative option for teeth that are discolored, chipped, uneven, or slightly spaced. Dr. Geetha Hanchate designs each case around your features and your goals, because a great smile should look like it has always been yours.
What Are Lumineers®
Lumineers® are a thinner version of traditional veneers, made from porcelain and designed to fit over the front of your teeth with minimal preparation. That means more of your natural tooth stays intact. They can improve discoloration, small chips, gaps, and uneven shapes, and in many cases, your teeth need little to no reshaping before they go on.
Benefits of Getting Lumineers®

- Minimal or no extensive tooth preparation in appropriate cases
- Natural-looking smile enhancement

- Helps improve the appearance of small gaps
- Thin, comfortable porcelain design
- Personalized to complement your facial features and smile
Our Treatment Process
The Lumineers® process is designed to be straightforward and minimally invasive, with each step tailored to your smile and cosmetic goals.
Smile Consultation
We will discuss your concerns, evaluate your smile, and determine whether Lumineers® are right for you.
Dental Evaluation
Your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health will be examined to ensure you are a suitable candidate.
Smile Planning
Your treatment will be carefully planned to create a natural-looking result that complements your facial features and smile.
Custom Fabrication
No two smiles are alike, so no two sets of Lumineers® should be either. Your dentist captures the details of your teeth through impressions or digital records, and the lab uses that to craft something natural.
Lumineers® Placement
Each Lumineer is placed with care, fitted to the front of your teeth and bonded securely so the final look is polished, comfortable, and completely natural.
Final Smile Assessment
Your dentist will check the fit, bite, and appearance to make sure your new smile meets the treatment goals.
