Will People Be Able to Tell If I Have Lumineers?
I went to my dentist for a consultation on Lumineers. I thought they’d be good for me because I have uneven discoloration and a small chip on one of my teeth. I also really liked the idea of having minimal preparation work done because my teeth are healthy. I don’t want to ruin them. My […]
