Lumineers are designed to give you a beautiful smile without the hassles of multiple office visits or painful shots or anesthesia required with traditional veneers. Unlike conventional porcelain veneers, which typically require grinding down your natural tooth enamel, Lumineers® by Cerinate are ultra-thin — about as thin as a contact lens — and are applied seamlessly over your existing teeth to deliver a beautiful, natural-looking smile with no irreversible damage to your tooth structure.
Fantastic Teeth In Just Two Visits!
At Blanco Crossing Dental in the Stone Oak area of San Antonio, you can get a beautiful smile in just two office visits. At your first visit, you will meet with Dr. Jabbour to start the veneer process. He will take an impression of your upper and lower teeth and digital photos of your teeth. This mold and the photos will be sent to an authorized dental laboratory to ensure the very best fit for your custom veneers.
Once your Lumineers have been custom-made, you will return to Blanco Crossing Dental for the Lumineers to be placed on your teeth. Dr. Jabbour will confirm the fit prior to permanently bonding the Lumineers to your teeth.

How Lumineers Compare to Traditional Porcelain Veneers
Traditional dental veneers are a proven cosmetic solution, but they require removing a layer of natural tooth enamel to accommodate the thickness of a porcelain veneer. This represents a permanent change to your natural tooth. Lumineers take a different approach. Because they are so thin, most patients require little to no tooth reduction at all. Your natural tooth structure stays intact, and in many cases Lumineers are completely reversible.
Both options use porcelain to create a lifelike, stain-resistant surface, but Lumineers eliminate the sensitivity and recovery time that can come with conventional prep. For patients who want the look of beautiful porcelain veneers without the commitment of enamel removal, Lumineers are often the preferred choice.
Composite Veneers: A Third Option Worth Understanding
When researching veneers, you may also come across composite veneers — a lower-cost alternative dental veneer made from tooth-colored resin, the same material used in dental bonding. Unlike porcelain veneers or Lumineers, composite veneers are sculpted and applied directly onto your teeth chairside, usually in a single visit.
The appeal is obvious: one appointment, lower upfront cost. But there are real trade-offs to consider. Composite resin is significantly more porous than porcelain, meaning it stains more readily over time — coffee, red wine, and other foods will gradually discolor the surface in a way that Lumineers and porcelain veneers simply don’t. Composite veneers are also less durable, typically lasting 5–7 years compared to 10–20 years for porcelain-based options. And because they’re applied freehand, the final result depends heavily on the individual dentist’s skill and artistic eye.
For patients on a tight budget who want a quick cosmetic improvement, composite veneers can make sense. But for anyone looking for a long-lasting, stain-resistant solution that preserves your natural tooth structure, Lumineers remain the stronger investment — and at Blanco Crossing Dental, they’re what Dr. Jabbour recommends for patients seeking a permanent smile transformation.
Benefits of Lumineers
Get a Beaming Smile
Your smile might appear respectable, but you want it to look exceptional. A Certified Lumineers Dental practitioner will evaluate your smile and help you obtain the look you dream of in just 2 quick, easy visits.
Get Your Teeth Aligned
Lumineers deliver a pain-free, rapid alternative to braces that supplies a perfectly-aligned look along with a lovely smile. Despite the fact that braces are readily accessible for adults, many do not want to face the discomfort and suffering, or the awkwardness. Now you can have an entirely improved smile, in just 2 short trips to your dentist, with Lumineers — an ideal alternative to orthodontics.
Refresh Old Dental Procedures
No matter your age, worn-out crowns and bridgework add several years to your face. Lumineers can easily be placed on top of existing dental crowns and bridgework to give you a beautiful smile — painlessly. If you have a crown that has discolored or no longer matches your surrounding teeth, Lumineers offer a non-invasive way to restore a uniform, natural appearance without replacing the crown itself.
Get Your Stained and Discolored Teeth Brighter
Yellowing and discoloration are typical concerns. Teeth whitening is a frequent option, but may not remove all the stains, or endure very long. Lumineers supply a long-lasting bright white smile, despite what you eat or drink! Whether the stains are brought on by time, drinking coffee or red wine, or by antibiotic discoloration, Lumineers can transform your smile with a permanently bright and all-natural look.
No more Teeth Gaps
Is there a gap between your front teeth or some other spacing issue that you wish you didn’t have? Lumineers is a quick, non-invasive treatment for eliminating spaces between teeth. In just 2 short trips to your dentist, these ultra-thin “smile shapers” will do away with unwanted space, while keeping your original teeth unchanged.
Make Chipped Teeth Look Great Again
Do you have a chip on some of your teeth? Is it immediately in the front where anyone can see? Lumineers provide a painless and pleasing way to repair your broken tooth once and for all.
Small or Uneven Teeth Reshaped
Misshapen teeth can truly detract from your appearance. You’ve probably hesitated to get a more traditional veneer procedure for concern that your teeth will be ground down. Not with Lumineers. Ultra-thin Lumineers are simply positioned over your original teeth, and in most cases don’t require the removal of any sensitive tooth structure.
Are Lumineers Right for Your Oral Health?
Before recommending Lumineers, Dr. Jabbour will conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health. Lumineers work best when the underlying teeth and gums are healthy. If there are any concerns — such as gum disease, decay, or bite issues — those will need to be addressed first to ensure the best long-term outcome. We provide personalized care for every patient, and your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific dental needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Lumineers are a cosmetic procedure, so dental insurance typically does not cover the cost. However, we are happy to discuss payment options and financing to help make your new smile as accessible as possible. Our goal is to provide exceptional dental care to all of our patients in San Antonio, Stone Oak, and the surrounding areas.
