E.max Veneers in Albania: The Gold Standard for a Natural Smile

E.max Veneers: Why They Look More Natural Than Any Other Material

E.max (IPS e.max by Ivoclar Vivadent) is a lithium disilicate glass ceramic that has become the gold standard for dental veneers worldwide. What makes it special? Its light transmission is almost identical to natural tooth enamel, giving veneers a depth and translucency that other materials cannot match.

In Albania, E.max veneers cost up to 75% less than in the UK — using the exact same Ivoclar material, processed by skilled dental technicians.

The Process: From Consultation to New Smile

1. Digital Smile Design: We create a digital preview of your new smile before touching your teeth. You approve the shape, size and colour.
2. Mock-up: A temporary version of your new smile is placed directly on your teeth so you can see and feel the result.
3. Preparation: Minimal enamel removal (0.3–0.5mm) under local anaesthetic. Temporary veneers are placed.
4. Lab fabrication: Your veneers are crafted from E.max ceramic over 3–5 days.
5. Bonding: The veneers are tried in, colour-verified and bonded permanently with light-cured resin cement.

The entire process takes 5–7 days at our clinic. Explore our before and after gallery to see real results, or contact us for a free Digital Smile Design preview.
