Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain adhered to the outer-surface of the tooth.

Porcelain has a translucent quality that is quite similar to tooth enamel. Porcelain is a far stronger material than composite resin (even with the improvements in resin materials over the years). Most dentists agree that porcelain veneers offer the most natural, tooth-like aesthetics.

E-max Veneers

What is the difference between E-max and porcelain veneers?

eMax veneers come in thicknesses of between 0.3mm and 0.5mm, while conventional porcelain veneers have a minimum thickness of 0.5mm. eMax veneers allow for more flexibility. Increased durability – Traditional porcelain veneers are prone to cracks and chips because of their thickness.

Crafted from high strength porcelain and custom-made for the individual, Emax Veneers are thin layered and bonded to the front surface of the teeth. This enhances both the function and appearance of teeth.

How long does E-max Veneers last? E-max veneers done with average dentist can last up to 5 to 20 years, depending on how well you take care of them. Usually correcting your bite is ideal before doing a set of veneers.

MAC Veneers

MAC Veneers are highly aesthetic porcelain veneers. They are made from high strength pressed ceramic porcelain. Pressed ceramic veneers are stronger and more resistant to staining than traditional feldspathic porcelain veneers.

What is the difference between MAC Veneers and other porcelain veneers?

The problem with most pressed ceramic veneers is that, even though they are stronger, they do not look as good as the traditional feldspathic porcelain veneers. However, the advantage of MAC Veneers is that their highly experienced technicians work very hard to recreate the beauty of feldspathic veneers using pressed ceramics and achieve an unbelievable aesthetic finish.

Who manufactures MAC Veneers?

This type of veneer is made by the most highly experienced ceramists at Micro Dental Laboratories in America and Canada.

When can MAC Veneers be used?
