E-max represents a breakthrough in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. E-max veneers are a type of dental restoration that places a ceramic glass material over the front surfaces of front teeth to change their aesthetic or cosmetic appearance. When bonded to the teeth, E-max veneers can change their appearance, colour, or shape. E-max Veneers are becoming an increasingly popular treatment option in the world of cosmetic dentistry.
E-max veneers are an ideal option for patients looking to greatly enhance their cosmetic appearance while achieving a natural-looking, healthy smile. The veneers are made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, they have superior aesthetics and strength, and are very thin.
In comparison to older, more traditional porcelain veneers which tend to be opaque and look dull when compared to natural teeth, E-max veneers look more realistic. Patients with chipped, fractured, crooked, spaced, stained, or misaligned teeth can improve their smile with E-max veneers.
At the initial visit, the dentist will evaluate your bite, the shape of your natural teeth, and facial features to properly plan your case. Custom E-max veneers can be designed and tried on your teeth to see their result. At this stage, patients can voice their concerns and discuss any changes to their shade, shape, or size with their dentist before the design is sent to the lab for the casting of the E-max veneers.
Teeth Whitening is usually carried out on other teeth to improve their shade.
Preparation of the tooth is carried out where necessary and digital scans are sent to the lab. A temporary veneer is then fitted.
We use the Medit i700 digital scanning system. The Medit i700 handheld wand takes a digital, 3D images of your teeth instead of taking traditional impressions and moulds. The digital image is electronically sent to the dental laboratory immediately. Digital scanning speeds up the process of veneer manufacture, avoids patient gagging and is much more accurate than traditional impressions.
Fitting of the final Emax veneers occurs once the veneers have been delivered from the lab.
Placement of Emax veneers is a quick, easy, and painless dental procedure, involving minimal removal of enamel to bond the veneer. Temporary veneers are placed during the 1–2-week wait period for the permanent veneers. When the E-max veneers are ready, they are bonded to the teeth with resin-based dental cement.
