Lithium-disilicate ceramic veneers, planned when the bite and enamel support a conservative preparation.
E-max is a brand of lithium-disilicate glass ceramic. It is known for its translucency, which lets light pass through in a way that resembles natural enamel, and for being strong enough to be made very thin.
Thin E-max veneers can sometimes be fitted with minimal enamel reduction, which makes them a more conservative option for suitable teeth. Whether that is possible depends on the colour, position and shape of your existing teeth.
These are general points only. Your dentist confirms what is suitable after an examination, which usually includes X-rays or a 3D scan, and may recommend a different or more conservative option.
Photos and X-rays let the dentist judge whether a conservative E-max approach is realistic.
Shape and shade are planned, often with a mock-up to preview the result.
The enamel is lightly prepared where needed under local anaesthesia, and scans are taken.
The finished veneers are tried in, adjusted and bonded permanently.
If your teeth are prepared, you wear temporary restorations while the final ones are made. They look reasonable but are less strong, so soft foods are sensible.
The final restorations are tried in, checked for fit, colour and bite, and then bonded or cemented in place.
Some sensitivity and a short period of getting used to the new shape and bite are normal. Tell your dentist if your bite feels uneven, as small adjustments are simple.
Brush twice daily, clean between your teeth, avoid using your teeth as tools and keep regular check-ups and hygiene visits with your local dentist.
Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.
E-max is a specific ceramic that combines strength and translucency, so veneers can be thin and natural-looking. Other ceramics can also give excellent results; the choice depends on the case.
Occasionally, for teeth that are small or set back. In most cases some preparation is needed so the veneers do not look bulky.
It depends on the treatment. Ceramic veneers and crowns are usually completed in one stay of around a week, while implants normally need two visits a few months apart to allow healing. Your coordinator confirms the schedule once the dentist has reviewed your X-rays or scan.
The price depends on the number of teeth involved, the materials and any preparatory work the dentist finds necessary. You receive a written, itemised plan and quote before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
