Snap On
Snap-on veneers are removable covers that instantly enhance your smile by hiding stains, gaps, or missing teeth.
Emax Veneers
E.max veneers are thin shells made from strong lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. They're durable, natural-looking, and ideal for improving your smile with both beauty and strength.
Composite Resin Veneers
Made from a tooth-coloured resin material. Generally, less expensive than Emax and can be applied in a single visit. They are less durable than porcelain but easier to repair if damaged. Suitable for minor corrections or as a temporary solution.
Lumineers
A brand of ultra-thin e-max veneers. Require minimal or no tooth reduction, preserving more of the natural tooth structure. They are reversible in many cases. Great for patients looking for a less invasive option.
Temporary Veneers
Made from acrylic or composite resin. Used as an ideal temporary solution while waiting for permanent veneers for transitional periods during treatment.
