When researching veneers, you may have come across Emax Veneers. They are known for their durability, natural look, and are considered one of the most popular choices in cosmetic dental treatments. In this blog, we will look to cover what Emax veneers are, the benefits, what they look like, the procedure, and the cost!
What are Emax Veneers?
Emax veneers have gained popularity over recent years and were developed by Ivoclar Vivadent, a leading company in the field of dental ceramics. These veneers are crafted from a thin and slightly translucent lithium glass ceramic material. They are custom-made to fit each patient’s teeth and are securely bonded to them.
Known for their exceptional durability, Emax veneers are considered to be one of the sturdiest options available.
The benefits of Emax veneers
Emax veneers are highly regarded in the field of cosmetic dentistry due to their durability and natural appearance. They are designed to closely match the colour and translucency of natural teeth, providing a seamless and lifelike result.
These veneers serve multiple purposes, including the correction of tooth colour, shape (such as worn, damaged, or short teeth), and the concealment of gaps or misalignments between teeth.
Here is a highlighted list of the benefits of Emax Veneers:
- Highly Durable
- Longevity
- Natural Appearance
- Minimal Preparation
- Stain Resistant
What do Emax veneers look like
Emax veneers are designed to look as close to natural teeth as possible. They are thin, smooth, and translucent, allowing light to pass through just like enamel.

What is the Emax Veneer procedure?
Like most veneers, there is a process of getting Emax Veneers fitted, and it typically involves the following steps:
1. Consultation: Your dentist will assess your teeth and talk through the goals and look you are looking for
2. Preparation: For Emax veneers, there is some minimal work that could be performed before the fitting stage. This will normally mean some shaving or reshaping of teeth
3. Impressions: Custom moulds are made and fitted to get the best results for your veneers to be made
4. Fitting: Your Emax veneers are bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive, and checked and tested before you can show your new smile to the world!
Are Emax veneers suitable for you?
Emax veneers are an excellent choice if you want to:
- Improve the shape, size, or colour of your teeth
- Close small gaps or correct minor misalignments
- Restore chipped or worn teeth
- Achieve a long-lasting, natural-looking smile makeover
However, they may not be suitable if you have severe tooth damage, heavy grinding habits, or advanced gum disease.
How long do Emax veneers last?
Emax veneers are known for their exceptional durability and longevity. On average, these veneers can last between 10 and 15 years with proper dental hygiene and regular dental care. The high-quality materials used in Emax veneers contribute to their longevity and resistance to wear and tear.
However, it’s important to note that the lifespan of Emax veneers can vary depending on individual factors, such as oral hygiene practices, habits like teeth grinding or clenching, and regular dental check-ups.
Follow these aftercare tips as a guide to extending the life of your composite veneers:
- Brush twice per day.
- Floss daily and use mouthwash.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects. This means avoiding tearing open packages with your teeth, nibbling on your nails, or grinding.
- Visit the dentist biannually for teeth cleanings and routine check-ups.
- Make sure to use non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Wear a mouthguard while playing sports.
Understanding the costs of Emax veneers
Generally, Emax veneers tend to be one of the more expensive options for veneer materials due to their high quality and aesthetic benefits. It’s important to keep in mind that the cost of Emax veneers includes not only the materials but also the dental consultations, tooth preparation, custom fabrication of the veneers, and the professional placement procedure.
Emax veneers can range from at least £700 per tooth.
While Emax veneers may involve a significant investment, most will find the long-lasting and natural-looking results are well worth the cost. It is recommended to consult with a dentist to get an accurate estimate of the costs based on individual needs and circumstances.
