question: Hello, I am thinking about getting lumineers on top . Should I let my general do the procedure who I have been going to for along time , or do i need to find a cosmetic dentist. thank you.  Linda

Dr. Kravitz.: Dear Linda,

Regarding Lumineers (as any other dental procedure)  you should  go with a dentist that you are comfortable with. That being said as far as who would be qualifed would be any practitioner who has experience or training in this modality. If you you not comfortable with your present dentist performing this procedure I can recommend a dentist to you who chooses to focus on cosmetic procedures . I stress "focus "because there is no recognized  cosmetic specialty at this time. If the case may be we would be pleased to take you on as a patient as we have a great deal of experience in cosmetic procedures.
