Can I remove my Lumineers in future?

[Jenny2011]

I am thinking about getting really white Lumineers for my top and lower teeth. I have been thinking about getting them for a while and due to finances, I am only able to get them now. I am going to get 6 top lumineers now and next year I want get another six lower lumineers.

The question that I had was that I am not sure if in 20-30 years, I would still want to have really bright lumineers on my teeth and at that time, I might decide to have them removed. Can you please tell me if its possible to remove lumineers in future and if that would cause any damage to the tooth enamel underneath it?

Thank you for your post. If no tooth shaving has been carried out for your Lumineers, then it is possible to remove them and go back to having teeth with no veneers. However if tooth preparation has been carried out then you will need new veneers or Lumineers but you can go for a more subtle shade in future.
