Emax Veneers Pros And Cons
Emax veneers are superior in esthetic and durability, creating a long-lasting solution for many patients seeking a strong, aesthetic solution for improving their smile, but they may not be ideal for everyone, let’s list the advantages and disadvantages of EMAX veneers in order to make your decision.
What Are The Advantages Of Emax Veneers?
Highly aesthetic Appeal
Emax veneers are well known for their exceptional aesthetic qualities. They are designed to mimic the natural translucency of real teeth, providing a highly natural look. The opalescence and color-matching capabilities of Emax veneers enhance their ability to deliver a flawless, natural appearance.
High Strength
One of the standout features of Emax veneers is their strength. They are about twice as strong as traditional porcelain veneers, with a high resistance to chipping and cracking.
Long Durability
This durability means that they can last up to 15 years or more with proper care due to their significant resistance to fracture, making them the most recommended dental veneer in the market due to their long-lasting natural look .
More conservative for teeth structure
Emax veneers are known for requiring minimal tooth preparation compared to other types of veneers. Their strength allows them to be made very thin (as thin as 0.3mm), which often means less of the natural tooth structure needs to be removed during preparation.
Biocompatibility
Emax veneers are made from materials that are highly compatible with the body and don’t cause any gum irritation or the risk of allergic reactions.
Stain Resistance
These veneers are resistant to staining from food and drinks, and This criterion makes Emax veneers an excellent option for patients who are concerned about maintaining a bright, white smile and care about a perfectly esthetic appearance.
Uncomplicated upon fabrication
If the dental clinic is equipped with CAD/CAM technology, Emax veneers can be manufactured during the dental visit which allows less time and less complexity on the veneer fabrication, and the patient could get their veneers often within a single dental visit.
What Are The Disadvantages Of Emax Veneers?
Nothing is completely perfect, and there are some drawbacks of EMAX veneers that should be mentioned:
1. Can anyone get Emax veneers?
Did you ask yourself “Can anyone get Emax veneers?” Actually, Emax veneer is not an ideal solution for everyone Because of the following contraindications:
People with severe teeth malalignment:
In the case of teeth crowding and no straight space allowed, correction of these teeth can’t be done by only veneers, but it needs orthodontic treatment in the first place.
People with extensive very dark discoloration like tetracycline discoloration:
As in this case, the minimal invasive tooth preparation and the minimal thickness of the Emax veneer are not suitable nor enough to mask that severe dark discoloration and provide whiter enamel-like translucency, in this case, the recommendation goes more towards full zirconia crowns layered with porcelain (PFZ) for the perfect tooth-like shades.
People with long extensive dental bridges
Emax veneer shows excellent strength and resistance on one-by-one tooth application, but can’t show the same resistance to fracture on fabrication for 4+ dental bridges where it could be exposed to multiple masticatory forces and increase its fracture liability
For people who suffer from bruxism, teeth grinding, or using their teeth as a tool;
The teeth are exposed to unfamiliar excessive forces that veneers of any type can’t withstand.
2. Cost
EMAX veneers tend to be more expensive than other types of veneers, such as porcelain or composite veneers. The higher cost is due to the premium materials used (lithium disilicate ceramic) and the advanced manufacturing process required.
What Is The Cost Of Emax Veneers In Turkey?
EMAX veneer cost is an issue as we discussed earlier, although, in Turkey, it is considered more affordable than in the USA and UK, at Sauve Clinic, we offer our patients great care with an affordable package starting with 320$ for one veneer. And more discount is applied as the number of teeth increases.
Choosing to get your Emax veneers at Sauve Clinic in Istanbul allows you to take advantage of cost savings while receiving top-quality care from our experienced dental professionals.
