E-Max Veneers in Turkey: Durable & Aesthetic Dental Solutions

Emax veneers are highly suitable for patients with stains, cracks or small fractures in their enamel who have healthy teeth and gums and require aesthetic dental treatment. Emax veneers can also create a neat appearance for patients with uneven tooth edges.

As Emax veneers are very thin, they can provide a long-term solution to such surface-level visual problems. Tooth surface reduction is generally not necessary when placing these veneers. In certain cases, minimal reduction may be required. For this reason, it is a preferred treatment option for people who want to eliminate erosion and stains without damaging their teeth. However, your specialist dentist will be best placed to decide whether this treatment is suitable for you.

Emax veneers are an ideal treatment for people with surface irregularities and stains on their teeth. Unfortunately, however, they are not suitable for individuals with certain conditions. Let’s take a closer look at the situations in which this treatment cannot be used.

Patients who grind or clench their teeth:

Emax veneers are not suitable for patients who clench or grind their teeth intensely. Such habits subject the teeth to excessive force, which can result in the veneers cracking or breaking. Therefore, this issue must be addressed before veneers can be applied.

Patients who grind or clench their teeth:

Emax veneers are not suitable for patients who clench or grind their teeth intensely. These habits can expose the teeth to excessive force, which may result in the veneers cracking or breaking. Therefore, this habit should be addressed before veneers are applied.

Severely damaged teeth:

Emax veneers are bonded to the surface of the tooth. Although they protect the front of the tooth, they also require support from the underlying tooth structure. If a tooth is extensively damaged, however, it cannot provide adequate support, which makes the veneer prone to breaking. In such cases, Emax veneers are not recommended.

Missing teeth:

If there is tooth loss, it is not possible to apply veneers. For an Emax veneer to be applied, a healthy tooth and tooth root must be present.

Gum disease:

Generally, treatment cannot be applied to individuals with gum disease. Conditions such as excessive gum bleeding or gum recession must be treated first. If deemed suitable by your dentist, Emax veneer treatment can then be performed.

Decayed teeth:

Emax veneers cannot be applied to decayed teeth. Any decayed teeth must be treated first. Otherwise, the decay will continue underneath the veneer and could eventually lead to tooth loss.

Severe misalignments:

Minor misalignments can be corrected by slightly reshaping the teeth and applying Emax veneers. However, major misalignments require orthodontic treatment before veneers can be placed.

Emax veneers offer many advantages in terms of both application and use. We would now like to share some of these with you.

• Despite being very thin, Emax veneers are strong. They are resistant to breakage and, when applied with the correct profile, are suitable for long-term use despite their delicate appearance.
• When applying Emax veneers, the tooth is either minimally filed or not filed at all. Therefore, your tooth is generally not damaged.
• These veneers have high light transmittance. Consequently, they closely resemble the natural appearance of teeth. Emax veneers owe their natural look to this feature.
• The surface of Emax veneers is extremely smooth. With proper care, they will not stain. They do not easily change colour.
• Emax veneers are highly biocompatible and do not cause allergies.

Of course, as with every treatment, there are advantages and disadvantages. Let’s now take a look at the disadvantages of Emax veneers.

• Since Emax veneers are a high-quality treatment, they are slightly more expensive than other veneers.
• It may not be suitable for patients with poor dental health, large fillings, bruxism (teeth grinding), significant misalignment or missing teeth.
• In some cases, a slight filing of the tooth surface may be required before Emax veneers can be applied. In such cases, the treatment becomes irreversible. If the veneer needs to be removed, it must be replaced with a different type of restoration.
• This treatment requires a well-equipped clinic and an experienced dentist specialising in this field. The success of an Emax veneer application depends on technical expertise, experience and an eye for aesthetics.

If your teeth are not significantly stained or irregular in appearance, Emax veneers can be applied without reducing the tooth enamel. In such cases, they protect the enamel by simply covering the front surface of the tooth. However, in other cases, a very thin layer of enamel may need to be removed before the Emax veneer is placed. This results in a small amount of damage to the front surface of the tooth. If you later decide not to continue using the veneer, you will need to consult your dentist about alternative treatments to protect the exposed surface.

If no reduction is required, Emax veneers will not harm your teeth.

Although the number of days required for treatment may vary depending on the number of teeth to be treated and your overall oral health, Emax veneer treatment typically takes 4 to 7 days.

• On the first day, your initial examination will be carried out and your treatment plan will be determined. Digital imaging and scans are also performed on this day.
• Tooth preparation (if needed) and placement of temporary veneers are completed within one to two hours.
• Your permanent veneers are custom-made in the laboratory within 2–4 days.
• Once the veneers are ready, they are fitted to your teeth to check colour and shape compatibility. With your approval, the final stage begins.
• Within a single day, your Emax veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth and final touch-ups are made.

The application process is quick and easy for the patient. The ability to achieve such impressive results in such a practical manner is a major reason why many patients choose this treatment.

Emax veneers have an average lifespan of 10–15 years. However, with proper and careful maintenance, this can be extended. If you follow the care instructions in the next section and your dentist's recommendations, these durable dental coverings will provide you with a natural-looking smile for a very long time.

However, if the maintenance and cleaning instructions are not followed, the lifespan of Emax veneers may be shorter than average. Therefore, always treat your veneers with care.

The flawless results and quick, hassle-free application of Emax veneers make this treatment a clear favourite. However, as with every dental intervention, Emax veneers require careful and routine maintenance. Fortunately, the care needed for this application is not very different from general oral and dental hygiene routines. The recommended practices are as follows:

• Brush your teeth thoroughly and carefully at least twice a day. To avoid damaging the veneers or gums, do not brush with excessive pressure. Choose a soft or medium-bristle toothbrush.
• Food particles caught between your teeth can foster bacterial growth and lead to tooth decay. To prevent this, always clean between your teeth with dental floss. Take care not to harm your gums while flossing and avoid making any harsh or uncontrolled movements.
• Rinse regularly with an antibacterial mouthwash. This cleans areas that your toothbrush and floss cannot reach and helps to prevent plaque build-up.
• Brush your tongue regularly to reduce plaque formation.
• Unless your dentist has given you specific advice, visit them for a check-up at least every six months so that any issues can be addressed before they worsen.
• Avoid hard and shell-covered foods. Steer clear of items that could damage tooth enamel or veneers. Remember: your teeth are not nutcrackers or corkscrews.
• Limit drinks such as tea, coffee and wine, which can stain tooth enamel, and brush your teeth afterwards.
• Smoking is harmful to your health and your veneers! Try to quit, or at least cut down. You can do it — we believe in you!

The process after having Emax veneers fitted is also quite straightforward. In most cases, patients can resume their normal activities on the same day. Some temperature sensitivity may be experienced during the first three days after treatment. However, this is only temporary.

Within a week, the gums will have fully adapted to the veneers and life can continue as normal. Of course, their natural, confident smile will often remind them and those around them of the treatment.

There is no specific recommended age limit for Emax veneers. However, it is advisable for jaw, palate and tooth development to be complete. In other words, it is beneficial for patients to be over 18 years old. There is no upper age limit. However, it is expected that the patient will have all their teeth and be in good health. Emax veneers are a suitable aesthetic intervention method for any patient who meets these criteria.

If you would like to, we can also look at the difference between Emax veneers and ultrathin veneers.

• Emax veneers are between 0.5 and 1 mm thick. This thickness can vary depending on the tooth's needs. Ultrathin veneers, on the other hand, are 0.2–0.5 mm thick. Therefore, ultrathin veneers are thinner.
• In both types of veneer, minimal or no tooth reduction is required.
• Both types of veneer are made from a durable material called lithium disilicate.
• Both have high light transmittance, providing a natural appearance.
• Ultrathin veneers are generally used to mask discolouration, whereas Emax veneers are used to correct discolouration and minor shape irregularities.
• Since Emax veneers are thicker than ultrathin veneers, they are more resistant to impact.
• Ultrathin veneers are somewhat more expensive than Emax veneers.

Turkey is one of the most popular destinations for dental treatment among European and American citizens. There are many concrete reasons for this. Read on to find out more.

• Turkish dentists graduate from prestigious dental schools, many of which are recognised in several European countries. During their studies, they gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
• The materials used in clinics are mostly high-quality, certified European brands.
• Thanks to the high patient numbers, Turkish dentists have extensive experience and expertise in their fields.
• In almost every clinic, both doctors and staff speak English fluently. Depending on the density of tourism in the region, staff who speak other foreign languages may also be available.
• Prices are much more affordable for international patients than at local clinics. This is due to favourable exchange rates and lower fixed costs, such as rent.
• The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey audits clinics frequently and carefully. It is prohibited to operate a clinic that does not comply with European hygiene and equipment standards.
• Turkey is a country surrounded by seas on three sides, so many patients have the opportunity to enjoy a holiday while undergoing treatment.
• Patients do not need to wait weeks for an appointment. Clinics usually offer appointments within the same week.
• Many clinics also offer VIP city transfers and luxury hotel accommodation to ensure the comfort of their international patients.

Are Emax veneers reversible?

If no tooth reduction has been performed, the Emax veneer procedure is reversible. However, if even minimal reduction has taken place, stopping using the veneers would require a new restoration for the tooth.

Do Emax veneers fall off?

Detachment may occur as a result of trauma, such as impact or falling; poor hygiene; biting hard objects; or improper placement of the veneers on the tooth. If this happens, it is recommended that you store the fallen veneer in a clean container and consult your dentist as soon as possible.

Do Emax veneers stain?

Thanks to its dense structure, Emax veneers are highly resistant to staining. Its smooth surface prevents plaque and discolouration from building up. However, to extend the lifespan of the veneer, it is important for the user to follow proper oral hygiene practices.
