Are Lumineers and e-Max veneers made with the same material?

Question

Lumineers and e-max veneers are made with the same material?I mean which is the different feom Lumineers and e-max veneers?

Anthony Mobasser, DDS, DMD · Answer

Lumineers (no prep veneers) is patented by Denmat corporation, which uses cerinate porcelain, It can be translucent and look great however it is not as strong as emax porcelain veneer.
In some cases we have used emax porcelain to substitute for cerinate veneers, and I call them no prep veneers. It is not for everyone, however it can be beneficial in certain cases. the xrays , exam, and the bite will help cosmetic dentist to propose that! As far as if we can do no prep veneers with emax, the answer is absolutely, but it is not for everyone!

Lumineers and e.max veneers are not made from the same material. If veneers are designed properly, then the material is actually not that important. The shape however is SUPER important. In my experience, I have found that because Lumineers are "prep-less" they allow for really lazy dentistry. Some dentists think that "prep-less" means "no work required" and so they market the benefits. But in reality what ends up happening is that your tooth is already as fat as it should be, you get a really thin piece of ceramic on it, and now it looks too fat. 
I do piles and piles of veneers, and I know what nice veneers are supposed to look like: I have still never seen a Lumineer that would not have looked better as a traditional veneer like e.max or feldspathic porcelain. 
If you're thinking of getting veneers, focus more on what the actual end-result will look like rather than the materials. If someone can't show you the end result before starting the dental work, then move on.

Hi, thanks for sending your question. Generally speaking conventional veneers can be made out of different materials of choice depending on your providers discretion and your needs. Lumineers material is not very cosmetic and often not the ideal material of choice for most cosmetic dentist. I encourage you to seek a consultation with a provider that you feel comfortable with for your new smile. All the best.
