E-Max Veneers: A Comprehensive Overview
What are E-Max Veneers?
E-Max veneers are ultra-thin shells made from lithium disilicate ceramic that are custom-designed to cover the front surface of teeth.
They are a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry for improving the aesthetic appearance of teeth, and addressing issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment.
E-Max veneers combine aesthetics with durability, making them an excellent option for achieving a beautiful smile.
