A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance. Sunshine Dentistry in Richmond Hill, Ontario, is here to help you achieve the smile of your dreams through advanced cosmetic dental solutions such as dental veneers, specifically Emax veneers. Due to their strength, durability, and natural appearance, Emax veneers are a popular choice for transforming your smile. This comprehensive guide will cover what Emax veneers are, their benefits, the procedure, cost considerations, and how to care for them to ensure long-term results.
What Are Emax Veneers?
Emax veneers are thin shells made from a high-quality ceramic called lithium disilicate. This material is famous for its strength and translucency, resembling the natural enamel on your teeth. These veneers are custom-made to fit perfectly over the front surfaces of your teeth, offering an appealing, natural-looking solution to a wide range of cosmetic dental issues. Whether you have discoloration, chipped teeth, gaps, or minor misalignments, Emax veneers provide a versatile solution to improve your smile.
Benefits
Emax veneers have several advantages over traditional veneers and other cosmetic dental treatments:
- Natural Appearance: They are the perfect choice for a naturally beautiful, lifelike smile due to the translucent quality of lithium disilicate, which closely resembles natural tooth enamel.
- Durability: Emax veneers are more durable than other veneer types, with excellent chip and crack resistance. They can last for 10 to 20 years or longer with proper care.
- Stain Resistance: They are highly resistant to stains from foods and beverages such as coffee, wine, and tea, allowing your smile to remain bright and white for years.
- Minimally Invasive: Emax veneers require minimal preparation, meaning less of your natural tooth enamel is removed than with other types of veneers.
- Fast Results: They offer almost immediate results. After the procedure, you can leave the dental office with a new smile.
The Procedure
The process of getting Emax veneers typically involves three key steps:
- Consultation and Assessment: During your first appointment at Sunshine Dentistry, your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss your smile goals. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and determine whether these veneers are your best choice.
- Tooth Preparation: After you decide to go ahead with Emax veneers, the dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Next, a dental lab will create your custom veneers based on the impressions of your teeth.
- Bonding and Final Touches: When your veneers are ready (usually in two weeks), the dentist will bond them to your teeth with a strong dental adhesive. They will make necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit and a natural appearance. After bonding, your veneers will be polished to match the natural shine of your teeth.
Cost of Emax Veneers
The cost is one of the most important factors to consider when getting Emax veneers. The cost of Emax veneers varies depending on several factors, such as the number of veneers necessary, the complexity of the case, and the dental clinic you choose.
The average cost of Emax veneers is $1,200 to $1,500 per tooth. This price reflects the high-quality materials and expertise required to craft and place the veneers. While the initial investment may appear high, remember that these veneers provide long-term durability and an aesthetically pleasing result that can last more than a decade with proper maintenance.
Furthermore, many dental practices provide payment plans or financing options to help make the cost more affordable. During your consultation, we will go over the costs in detail and assist you in exploring any available payment options.
Are Emax Veneers Right for You?
Emax veneers are an excellent treatment for a variety of cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Discoloured Teeth: They can conceal deep stains or discoloration that your dentist can not remove with teeth whitening.
- Chipped or Worn Teeth: If your teeth are chipped or worn down, veneers can help restore their shape and size.
- Minor Misalignments or Gaps: Veneers can close small gaps between teeth and correct minor misalignments without braces.
However, these veneers may not be appropriate for everyone. Patients with severe tooth decay, gum disease, or significant bite issues may require additional treatment before placing veneers. A consultation with your dentist can help you decide if veneers are the best option for your smile.
FAQs

Do Emax veneers require special care?
No, just regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits. To prevent damage, avoid biting hard objects.
