What are veneers, how do they work?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from a range of materials such as eMax, porcelain, composite or zirconia that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for improving the appearance of teeth with imperfections such as stains, chips, cracks, or gaps. The veneer is permanently bonded to the tooth’s surface, effectively masking any aesthetic flaws and creating a natural-looking, radiant smile.

The process of getting dental veneers depends on the material used. The first step is an initial consultation with your cosmetic dentist, where they will evaluate your teeth and discuss your treatment goals. For composite veneers they are applied in a few hours whereas other materials are made in a dental lab. In this case the teeth may be slightly prepared and then a digital scan sent to the lab where your veneers will be made which takes around 10 days. Once made, we will bond the veneers to your teeth using a dental adhesive to make your dream smile a reality!

What are the main differences between eMax veneers and composite veneers?

eMax veneers and composite veneers are both cosmetic dental procedures designed to improve the appearance of teeth, but they differ significantly in materials, longevity, and application method. eMax veneers are thin shells made by a dental lab which are then custom-fitted and permanently bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are highly durable, stain-resistant, and offer a long-lasting solution for correcting various cosmetic issues, such as discoloration, chips, and gaps. eMax Veneers provide a more natural appearance as they reflect light similarly to natural tooth enamel, resulting in a seamless integration with the surrounding teeth. On the other hand, composite veneers involves the application of a tooth-colored resin directly onto the tooth’s surface. While composite veneers are more affordable and can be completed in a single dental visit, they are less durable than eMax veneers and requires touch-ups or replacements over time whereas eMax veneers are a low maintenance long lasting alternative.

What are the advantages of eMax veneers over composite veneers?

eMax veneers offer several advantages over composite veneers. Firstly, eMax veneers provide superior durability and longevity compared to composite. With proper care, eMax veneers can last for 15 years plus, while composite may require more frequent repairs or replacements. Secondly, eMax veneers deliver a more natural and aesthetic result due to the translucent properties of high-quality lab made materials. The ability to custom-match the colour, shape, and size of veneers to your existing teeth ensures a harmonious and radiant smile. In contrast, composite veneers may not achieve the same level of precision and may appear less natural over time as the material is more prone to staining and wear. Additionally, eMax veneers require less maintenance and provide better resistance to staining from food and beverages, making them an excellent long-term investment in your smile’s beauty and durability.

Are eMax veneers worth the price compared with composite veneers?

eMax veneers tend to last for 15 years and more with minimal maintenance during this time as they are incredibly durable and long lasting. Composite veneers lasts on average 5-8 years with maintenance during this time to repair chips, fractures and staining as it is less durable and long lasting.

eMax veneers cost around 2-3x the price of composite bonding but often last 3-4x as long. The maintenance of composite veneers also adds significant price onto their initial lower price as each chip repair will have a cost and a professional cleaning to remove staining also has a cost which is usually recommended twice a year.

As such on average, despite the initial higher outlay, eMax veneers are superior in almost every way cosmetically to composite veneers and over their lifespan offer a significant cost saving.

What can I do to extend the lifespan of my veneers?

eMax veneers can last 15 years or longer and composite veneers up to 8 years. To maximise the lifespan of your veneers, follow these essential care tips:

Practice good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to clean between your teeth and around the edges of the veneers, ensuring plaque and debris are removed.
Avoid excessive force and bad habits: Refrain from biting on hard objects, using your teeth to open packages, or chewing on ice. If you grind or clench your teeth, consider using a nightguard to protect your veneers while you sleep.
Schedule regular dental check-ups: Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings to assess the condition of your veneers and overall oral health. Early detection of any issues can help prevent more extensive problems and prolong the life of your veneers.

Are eMax veneers resistant to staining?

Yes, eMax veneers, are resistant to staining. eMax veneers are non-porous and do not absorb stains from food and beverages as natural teeth or composite veneers can do. However, it’s still essential to practice good oral hygiene and limit the consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks to maintain the veneers’ bright appearance over time.
