E-MAX VENEERS

E-max laminate veneers stand out among the current treatment options for those who cannot get satisfactory results from traditional whitening protocols or who cannot achieve ideal smile aesthetics due to fractures, cracks, or gaps in their teeth.

These high-tech ceramic laminate veneers based on lithium disilicate offer superior aesthetic results thanks to their metal-free structure and optical properties close to natural tooth enamel. E-max veneers are a preferred treatment with their conservative approach requiring minimal preparation, biological compatibility, and high mechanical strength.

What are e-max veneers?

Emax veneers are non-metal, very thin ceramic veneers applied to the front surface of the teeth, which provide a beautiful smile design by eliminating minor structural problems and aesthetic concerns.

What are E-Max veneers made of?

E-Max veneers are made of special ceramic materials that offer superior aesthetics and durability in dentistry. These materials are processed with controlled heating-cooling methods at high temperatures to give them the properties closest to natural teeth.

Basically two different types of glass-ceramics are used:

• Lithium Disilicate Glass Ceramic (LS2)
• Fluorapatite Glass Ceramic (FAP)

Lithium disilicate glass ceramic (LS2) and fluorapatite glass ceramic (FAP) have many advantages due to the following properties: These properties and advantages:

• What makes E-max veneers special is the difference in the reflection and refraction of light in lithium disilicate and fluorapatite. Both materials reflect light like natural teeth and provide an aesthetic appearance. This difference makes e-max veneers very transparent.
• It is high-strength and resistant to breakage and cracking.
• Its very thin production compared to other ceramic materials provides many advantages.
• It eliminates aesthetic concerns as it is close to natural tooth appearance.
• It is biocompatible and does not cause allergic reactions.

Lithium disilicate glass ceramic (LS2)

Lithium oxide, silica, alumina, and potassium oxide are mixed in specific proportions. The mixture is melted at high temperature to form glass. Microscopic crystals are formed in the glass by controlled cooling. Ceramic properties are strengthened by additional heat treatments. Areas of use:

• Anterior/posterior dental crowns
• Fillings and veneers (inlay/onlay)
• E-Max laminate veneers
• Telescopic crowns
• Implant prostheses
• Front Zone 3 Bridges (pressed version only)

Fluorapatite glass ceramic (FAP):

Phosphorus oxide, silica, calcium oxide, fluoride compounds, alumina, and potassium oxide are mixed to form a crystalline structure similar to the production of lithium disilicate.

How are E-Max veneers shaped?

• CAD/CAM Technology: The tooth model is created by digital scanning, the veneer shape is determined by computer-aided design ( produced by CAM milling or pressing.
• Pressing (IPS e.max Press): Glass-ceramic material is shaped with pressure in special molds.

It is generally preferred for aesthetic smile design on the front teeth. E-max press laminate veneers are obtained by pressing lithium disilicate ceramic under high temperature and pressure. The dentist customizes this veneer according to the patient's measurements and needs.

E-max CAD/CAM laminate veneers:

It can be used on both front and back teeth. With CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) technologies, digital impressions of the teeth are taken. Then, according to these measurements, e-max ceramic material is digitally processed and cut.

E-max layered laminate veneers:

Used in anterior tooth restorations. E-max Layered veneers are created by applying multiple layers of ceramic on top of each other. Generally, the first layer is more opaque and the second layer is more transparent.

E-max zirconia laminate veneers:

It is preferred for patients who want high durability and aesthetics in the back teeth. suitable. Produced with a combination of E-max and zirconia material.

E-max pressed-to-shape laminate veneers:

It is preferred for aesthetic purposes in front teeth. The exact shape of the tooth is created before the material is pressed. Since the shaping process is done in advance, the production time is shorter..

What are the benefits/advantages of E-max veneers?

Benefits/advantages:

• Since it requires teeth shaving with minimal abrasion from the tooth surface, the natural structure and texture of the teeth are largely preserved. This shortens the procedure time.
• Emax veneers have higher durability than other types of veneers. The risk of cracking and breakage is lower than other porcelain veneers. It is more resistant to chewing force.
• Emax veneers are resistant to tooth stains and discoloration caused by certain habits (e.g., coffee, tea, and smoking).

• E-max veneers perfectly achieves visual harmony by mimicking the natural transparency characteristics of teeth. Thus, it eliminates aesthetic concerns.
• Lithium disilicate ceramic makes it quite durable. E-max veneers are particularly resistant to chewing forces on the teeth and daily use. E-max is much more durable than traditional porcelain veneers, and the risk of cracking or breaking with long-term use is low.
• E-max veneers require minimal abrasion to the tooth. Without damaging the natural tooth tissue, the majority of the tooth's natural structure is preserved, and only a small portion from the front surface of the tooth is removed. Therefore, e-max veneers provide an aesthetic correction without damaging dental health.
• The ceramic from which e-max veneers are made is a biocompatible material. It blends perfectly with the gums and does not cause allergic reactions.
• Because e-max veneers are durable, they are long-lasting and offer a safe and healthy solution in the long term.

Which one is better, E-max or crown?

The choice between E-max veneers and crowns depends on your specific dental needs, budget, and aesthetic goals.

The difference between them is the material they are made of and their appearance. Zirconia ceramics are produced by combining zirconium dioxide with oxygen in special furnaces. They are resistant to breakage, cracking, and abrasion.

E-max veneers are made of lithium disilicate ceramic and are very thin, translucent, and durable. They are bonded to the upper surface of the teeth. Which one is better depends more on your needs. If aesthetic appearance is at the forefront for you, e-max veneers may be a good choice.

F.A.Q:

In which case should I choose an E-max veneer and in which case a crown?
