The ceramic material used to restore the teeth, Porcelain, Emax, or Zirconia, has been around for some time and it has been marketed under many different names. Anterior and posterior etched ceramic restorations that require no to minimal tooth reduction, are used to restore the teeth: Lumineers , Emax , BruxZir, etc...
These ceramic restorations could be made of zirconia for posterior and anterior teeth, porcelain or emax for anterior teeth, or a combination of both, or what is best for your specific needs. It is not "a one size fits all" product.

Emax restorations

Emax restorations are much stronger than regular porcelain veneers.
Emax restorations require no to minimal tooth reduction.
Emax restorations, in general, provide a better esthetic results on the anterior teeth, and the new Emax have enough strength to withstand all the chewing forces, for those reasons, sometimes a combination of both Emax (on the anterior teeth) and BruxZir Solid Zirconia (on the posterior teeth) will be a better solution than regular porcelain veneers to restore the bite.

Dental professionals are often faced with challenging cases, cases that require the dentist and the technician to balance both strength and esthetic demands. This often requires multiple substructure materials and multiple systems. As a result, it is difficult to fabricate restorations and create a lifelike smile with a consistent vitality. Now, with e.max the dentist and the dental technician can work in partnership to restore even the most challenging cases using one high strength conventionally cementable all ceramic system.

- Patients will benefit from a highly esthetic smile.

- High-strength material options

- One layering of ceramic for outstanding esthetics

- Conventionally cementable

- Press and CAD/CAM fabrication options

- Ideal for combination cases

IPS e.max can be pressed to as thin as 0.3 mm for veneers. If sufficient space is present, IPS e.max can be placed over the existing teeth without the removal of any tooth structure. Depending on the case requirements, however, some teeth may need to be prepared to accommodate for the thickness of the ceramic and to ensure for proper contour and emergence profile.

Davinci Veneers : a. Ultra-thin shells of tooth-colored ceramics. b. Needs some tooth preparation.

Durathin Veneers: are very thin porcelain veneers designed to adhere directly to the front of the teeth without removing any enamel!

MAC Veneers (Micro Advanced Cosmetic Division Veneers) a. Produced by MicroDental laboratory  b. Made from pressed ceramic  c. Stronger, denser, and thicker than traditional porcelain veneers, therefore, they are not easily dislodged d. Stain resistant e. Needs tooth preparation.

Porcelain Restorations, when placed on the anterior teeth, offer better and higher esthetics, more transparent and natural looking incisal edges.
There are actually several different types of veneers available. No prep veneers, Lumineers, Emax Veneers, Empress Veneers...
Again, it is not "a one size fits all" product. All depends on what is best for your cosmetic specific needs.
