Emax Veneers Vs Zirconia Veneers?

EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, EMAX, AND FINALLY EMAX. 

If you are looking for more lifelike, natural and translucent restorations, then Emax is the best choice. These restorations are bonded into place so minimal preparation is needed. Zirconia is usually used for posterior crown restorations or for patients that are heavy grinders or clenchers.

In my opinion the EMAX is superior in every way. It is stronger and matches natural teeth better when fabricated by a qualified laboratory.

Emax would be your best option. They are much stronger and look much better than zirconium.  That would be my material of choice.

 

e.max is still the esthetic material of choice for veneers while also offering strength.  Zirconia restorations are very strong but they tend to be less life like and more opaque or chalky looking.  I would recommend e.max.

Advances in the use of zirconia ceramic material have enabled dentists to use this material more in the aesthetic zone and the superior strength of zirconia has always been widely known. While zirconia crown and veneers now have much more lifelike color and contour, E-max remains a much more aesthetic material.

In my opinion go with the Emax veneers. Both emax and zirconia are very hard substances, but the emax will look more life like than the zirconia. Most zirconia I see looks very opaque and not very life like. You also have to worry about the interface between zirconia and porcelain, that is if they layer other porcelain on the zirconia. Which will last longer is a good question. It really depends on your bite (how your teeth come together). It also depends on how well your oral home care is? It also depends if you have any parafunctional habits like clenching and grinding.

I concur with all the other dentists about the use of Emax porcelain for veneers. They are really strong and will look great.

While Zirconia is stronger, I would definitely opt for E-max on anterior Veneers. They will be strong enough, and will look much much nicer.

Emax, no question about it. Zirconia is used for crowns. Zirconia crowns look opaque and don’t have natural translucent enamel-like appearance.
