Porcelain Veneer (Emax)

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape and alignment. Cuprumdent uses Emax glass-ceramic for a natural, translucent finish and can preview the planned result with a digital smile design and mock-up before any tooth is prepared. Veneers suit discoloured, worn, chipped or slightly uneven front teeth, and the clinic also offers composite bonding as a more affordable option.

Veneers are wafer-thin facings, custom-made to bond onto the visible surface of the front teeth and change their appearance — covering discolouration that whitening cannot lift, closing small gaps, and reshaping chipped, worn or slightly crooked teeth. At Cuprumdent the veneers are crafted in Emax glass-ceramic, a material chosen for the way it mimics the translucency and light reflection of natural enamel. Because veneers change the look of the smile, the clinic places weight on planning. A digital smile design and a wax-up or mock-up let you preview the proposed shape and proportions, and often agree adjustments, before treatment begins. The teeth are then minimally prepared, impressions are taken and the laboratory makes the veneers, which are bonded into place and refined for fit and bite. The same Emax material used for the clinic's crowns provides strength once bonded. For patients who prefer a more conservative or reversible change, the practice also offers composite bonding, where tooth-coloured resin is shaped directly onto the tooth in a single visit. The dentist will advise whether veneers, bonding or whitening best fits your goals, and explain care and longevity, which depend on bite habits and oral hygiene.
