e.max Layered Veneers: From Plan to Perfect Result

Restorations can be monolithic utilizing the staining technique or layered to incorporate built-in characterization.  Some of the benefits of e.max restorations include:

• Long-lasting clinical results due to the materials’ high strength.
• Wide range of options to achieve natural esthetic results.
• Five levels of translucency.
• Ability to provide very conservative preparations.
• Flexible cementation options (adhesive, self-adhesive, or conventional) depending on the indication.

Considering the long history of clinical success with e.max, along with its many benefits, it was an easy material choice for this case.

As with any large case, a  diagnostic wax-up was done to provide a mock-up of all of the key information provided by Dr. Goldin. In the wax-up stage, Burbank Dental Lab created a template that incorporated the length, shape, and position of the new smile. Crown lengthening is evaluated at this stage and incorporated if it is necessary to achieve the desired results. This diagnostic wax-up was presented to the patient, but more importantly, it was used to create the patient's provisionals.
