PERSONALIZED PLANNING
Zirconia / E-max / Laminate Veneers about
Zirconia and E-max are material options for ceramic restorations. A laminate veneer is a thin restoration placed on the front of a tooth. The choice depends on the tooth’s condition, bite and aesthetic expectations. Treatment planning requires a dental examination and necessary X-ray assessment. Treatment is selected according to the teeth’s condition and the patient’s needs.
Treatment duration and appointment schedule
- Approximate treatment timeline
- Approximately 1–1.5 weeks
Gum healing requirements and preliminary treatment can extend the timeline.
