Lamina Emax veneers are thin, lightweight porcelain veneers with high aesthetic properties used in aesthetic dentistry. Usually bonded to the front surface of the teeth, these veneers are preferred to improve the color, shape and overall appearance of the teeth. Emax is particularly known for its natural appearance and high durability; therefore, it is often recommended for patients with aesthetic expectations.
The lamina veneer procedure begins with the dentist assessing the patient’s tooth structure. In the first stage, special techniques are used to measure your teeth and then a minimal etching is performed on the surface of the teeth. This abrasion is necessary for the veneer to adapt to the teeth. Next, veneers made of Emax material are manufactured in a laboratory environment. In the final stage, the veneers are placed on the teeth using special adhesives.
The biggest advantage of Lamina Emax veneers is that they offer the closest aesthetics to the appearance of natural teeth. Thanks to their ability to transmit light, they blend in perfectly with natural teeth. It is also an effective solution for correcting the appearance of weak or damaged teeth, lightening the color of teeth and improving smile aesthetics.
