To create an ideal smile, whitening your teeth is not enough - by nature they are still not snow-white and not always perfectly straight. You can get a smile like a Hollywood star only by installing veneers - thin plates that will completely mask enamel defects and make your teeth perfectly straight and snow-white.
Classic veneers are made of ordinary ceramics and are somewhat fragile. Emax ceramic veneers, a modern German development made from glass ceramics based on lithium disilicate, help achieve a more durable result. Such plates are much stronger, more durable and more aesthetically pleasing, require minimal tooth grinding and are visually indistinguishable from natural enamel, which makes them an ideal solution for creating a Hollywood smile.
About the manufacturer of E-max veneers
E-max veneers are thin ceramic plates designed to correct the outer surface of the tooth. They are produced in Germany by Ivoclar Vivadent, which is introducing high-quality ceramic microprostheses into the dental market, characterized by improved aesthetics for the restoration of the frontal zone of the oral cavity.
On a note!
Emax veneers first appeared about 20 years ago and were a real discovery. From that moment on, innovative plates began to actively displace metal-ceramic prostheses. The basis of microprostheses is lithium disilicate or glass-ceramic substance, which is characterized by high strength, durability, safety and aesthetics.

Features of E-MAX veneers
German veneers of the E-max brand are called analogues of lumineers - the thinnest overlays on teeth that allow you to achieve the effect of a “Hollywood” smile. A special feature of E-max is the unique thickness of the plate, comparable to lumineers - only 0.3-0.6 mm, so experts recommend such microprostheses for installation.
Important!
The E-max Procera technology, unlike standard ceramic veneers, consists of creating micro-prostheses from pressed ceramics, thereby achieving the smallest possible pore size, which contributes to increased strength and density of the material. With such characteristics, the aesthetic side of the product remains at a decent level.
In what situations is it better to choose Emax veneers?
E.max veneers can be fixed both in the frontal region and in the chewing area, since they have increased reliability and the ability to withstand significant loads.
Typically, e.max porcelain veneers are installed in the following situations:
- Noticeable darkening of teeth;
- The presence of impressive interdental spaces;
- The appearance of dark spots on the enamel;
- Minor curvature of teeth;
- Damage or reduction in enamel thickness;
- Having short teeth.
Indications for installation
We list when veneering with Emax plates is recommended:
- violation of the integrity of the enamel - cracks, chips;
- darkening of enamel and hard tooth tissues, change in color of fillings;
- defects in the dentition - slight crowding and differences in the size of the teeth, unexpressed malocclusions;
- spaces between teeth - diastemas and trema;
- ineffectiveness of dental whitening.
In addition to indications, there are also limitations to microprosthetics. Veneers from E-max and any other manufacturers are contraindicated for:
- presence of caries;
- periodontal diseases;
- serious bite defects;
- bruxism.
Some contraindications are eliminated if you undergo appropriate dental and orthodontic treatment. After this, you can return to smile restoration.
Contraindications for installing veneers
In some situations, the possibility of installing such plates for restoration is excluded. Such restrictions include the following pathological conditions:
- The presence of deep carious lesions in the incisor area;
- Failure to comply with oral hygiene rules;
- Involuntary contraction of the masticatory muscles;
- Increased abrasion of enamel;
- Deep damage to periodontal tissues;
- Bite abnormalities;
- Having bad habits;
- Engaging in strenuous sports;
- The presence of massive fillings in the oral cavity.
Relative contraindications for the use of e.max veneers, as evidenced by reviews, include the presence of mild inflammatory processes and shallow carious lesions.
Pros and cons regarding other types of veneers
Advantages of E-max veneers:
- Durability – lithium silicate glass ceramics, created using Procera technology, has increased resistance to the influence of negative external factors.
- Microprostheses made by pressing are practically devoid of pores, which gives a perfectly smooth surface and prevents the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, facilitating hygienic care and helping to prevent many dental problems.
- Compared to conventional ceramic and composite veneers, the thickness of E-max plates is comparable to a contact lens. This fact is important at the stage of preparing a tooth for veneering - the doctor grinds down the minimum possible amount of enamel and dentin, and sometimes does not resort to this procedure at all. Microprostheses are firmly attached to dental units with a special adhesive composition, which contains antiseptics and anti-caries components.
- E-max products have a wide range of shades and transparency characteristic of natural enamel - not all veneers from other manufacturers can boast of such properties. Therefore, German plates will look most natural on the patient’s teeth and unnoticed by others. You can select the desired color and other design features using 3D modeling, which will avoid possible errors.
On a note!
E-max veneers are favored by their hypoallergenicity and safety for the health of teeth and gums. It is worth noting the long service life - at least 10 years with preservation of the original shade and structural integrity, subject to the recommendations of a specialist.
Disadvantages of E-max microprosthetics:
- the procedure is expensive - one plate costs about 21 - 30 thousand rubles;
- A serious disadvantage of any veneering is the irreversibility of the procedure - after grinding down the enamel and installing plates, it will not be possible to return the teeth to their previous state; in the future, you will need to continue installing veneers or resort to prosthetic crowns.
When is it recommended to install veneers?
If your teeth have gaps or an unattractive shape, you can install veneers. They will close wide gaps and make your smile look very attractive. It is also necessary to install Emax veneers in the following cases:
· large filling in cervical teeth;
· unsightly dark spots on the enamel;
· presence of microcracks and chips;
· unaesthetic shape of teeth;
· fillings that have changed color;
· uneven teeth.
Emax veneers are of high quality and durability. They can be used for a very long time and still remain aesthetically attractive. Onlays resemble natural teeth and are no different from them. Ceramic veneers are a new generation of designs. They are very comfortable to wear and do not cause any discomfort. When installing veneers, you can choose the desired shade of your teeth.
Ceramic veneers are aesthetic overlays for teeth in the desired shade. With their help, you can correct an aesthetically attractive smile .
Orthopedic restoration using veneers looks natural and attractive. It allows you to quickly eliminate various defects of teeth and tooth enamel and always look great. The service life of structures is more than 10 years.
Technology for creating E-MAX veneers
Veneers are manufactured in the form of individual records according to the following steps:
- Modeling the future veneer from wax material according to the patient’s dimensions.
- Placing the workpiece in the oven, where the IPS E-max effect (pressed ceramics) is achieved.
- Processing the veneer manually is required to create a rough surface on the inside of the veneer to ensure its strong fixation with tooth enamel.
- Coating the resulting plate with a special composition for a smooth and radiant effect.
Ready-made veneers are installed on the patient’s teeth. After they “lie” perfectly, the doctor monitors changes in the bite - assesses the presence of contact with neighboring teeth and jaws. If necessary, the plates are adjusted.
Installation stage of permanent veneers
We installed 12 veneers
on the teeth of the upper jaw and
14 veneers
on the lower jaw. A total of 26 teeth were made. We settled on the color of the veneers 1M1, because, on the one hand, this color is more youthful, as Korney initially asked, and on the other hand, the color 1M1 suits his type.
First we did the top, then the bottom with E-max applying the German material Ivoclar. The veneers were fixed using Valio Link Esthetic cement of a neutral color.
Since the teeth were worn down, they were raised by 1.5 mm. We increased the height of the teeth and raised the bite slightly.
Our own teeth were a very dark shade, that is, A3.5 color, so we decided to make the veneers lighter up to 7 shades on the Vita 3D Master scale.
First, the top was made and 12 veneers were fixed. Then they ground down the lower jaw teeth and installed temporary veneers.
After some time, permanent veneers were installed on the teeth of the lower jaw.
The teeth turned out very beautiful. Natural relief and beautiful translucency fit very harmoniously into the aesthetics of a man’s smile
:
My task, as an orthopedic doctor, is to restore the smile with the help of veneers so that all parameters of the smile meet aesthetic standards and make the patient’s smile beautiful and masculinely charming.
Then the patient will change not only his teeth, but also his appearance.
Veneers for men in the photo look very harmonious, you will agree:
Korney was very pleased with the color, that is, for men the color is 1M1
- simply gorgeous!

Reviews
Many dental patients were able to evaluate the quality of dental restoration using microprostheses. Reviews of Emax veneers are usually positive.
1.5 years ago I took care of my teeth. After installing numerous fillings, half of my teeth were left with gray spots, and I had to think about the aesthetics of my smile. The doctor suggested veneers e max and I agreed. The installation process itself is almost painless, but the disadvantages are global - the price and violation of the integrity of your own teeth, you need to be mentally prepared for them. The “before and after” result is colossal, from an aesthetic point of view, 100 points.

The German orthopedic veneers Imax were recommended to me by my doctor. The situation with my front teeth was worse than ever; choosing between a bridge and veneers, I chose the latter. I am very pleased with the result. Expensive, but fast and almost painless, no addiction! I recommend it to anyone who is desperate to find a beautiful smile.

Structure care
Once veneers are installed, there are no dietary restrictions to maintain the original appearance of the veneers. You can chew nuts and apples, but you should still be careful. You should also avoid seeds and definitely not use your teeth to open the caps. Then the veneers will last a very long time and will always delight you with their attractive appearance.
Once every six months when wearing Emax veneers, it is important to perform hygienic teeth cleaning. A veneer that you don’t like or that is cracked can be replaced with another overlay. In general, teeth should be brushed regularly with hygienic toothpaste and periodic visits to the dentist.
If you need veneers installed, in our clinic the price for ceramic veneer Emax is minimal and affordable to everyone. We are always glad to see you among our patients!
