Emax laminate veneers are a type of dental veneer made from a high-strength ceramic material known as lithium disilicate. They are renowned for their natural appearance, durability, and ability to provide a highly aesthetic and functional enhancement to teeth. Emax veneers are ultra-thin and are bonded to the front surface of the teeth to improve their colour, shape, size, or length.
When are Emax Laminate Veneers Used?
Emax veneers are ideal for addressing various cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Discoloured or stained teeth that do not respond to whitening treatments.
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Misaligned or irregularly shaped teeth.
- Worn-down teeth
The Emax Veneer Procedure
Consultation and Planning: The dentist evaluates the patient’s dental health, discusses their aesthetic goals, and takes impressions and digital scans of the teeth. A custom treatment plan is created.
Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to make room for the veneers. This step is minimal due to the thinness of Emax veneers.
Impression Taking: Detailed impressions of the prepared teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the Emax veneers are custom-made to match the desired shape and colour.
Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed to protect the prepared teeth while the final veneers are being crafted.
Veneer Bonding: Once the Emax veneers are ready, the dentist will bond them to the teeth using a strong dental adhesive. Adjustments are made to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.
Final Adjustments: The dentist makes any final adjustments to ensure the veneers fit comfortably and look natural, then polishes them for a perfect finish.
