e.max Veneers
IPS e.max veneers are fabricated from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, the world's best-selling glass-ceramic and a material with over fifteen years of clinical use.
IPS e.max CAD delivers a biaxial flexural strength of 530 MPa with a fracture toughness of 2.11 MPa·m^1/2, while IPS e.max Press offers 470 MPa — a combination well suited to minimally invasive dentistry.
The material's opalescence, translucency, and light diffusion replicate natural tooth structure, and its strength allows restorations to be adhesively bonded or conventionally cemented.
The independent evidence is compelling. A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis of 29 studies reported a 10.4-year survival of 96.8% for lithium disilicate veneers.
Clinical Benefits of e.max Veneers
- Minimally Invasive – Supports thin veneers down to 0.3 mm, requiring only minimal removal of tooth structure
- High Strength – The lithium disilicate glass-ceramic delivers 470 MPa (e.max Press) and 530 MPa (e.max CAD) biaxial flexural strength, underpinning the material's dependability in thin section.
- Shade Versatility A broad palette of ingots, ranging from bright bleach shades through to the full spectrum of natural tooth colors, and from highly translucent through to more opaque. Patient shade can be matched to almost any case, including where the underlying tooth is heavily discolored.
- Cementation Flexibility – Restorations can be placed using an adhesive, self-adhesive or conventional protocol, giving the clinician latitude in placement rather than locking them into a single technique.
- Documented Longevity – Backed by a ten-year guarantee, clinically documented reliability and over 170 million restorations placed worldwide.
