IPS e.max is the material of choice for patients who want veneers that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Made from lithium disilicate ceramic, e.max veneers combine exceptional strength with the translucency and fluorescence of real enamel — so they catch the light just like your surrounding teeth. They can be prepared to an extremely fine thickness, meaning minimal removal of natural tooth structure.

This treatment is ideal if you

  • You want the most natural-looking cosmetic result possible
  • You want to minimise preparation of your natural teeth
  • You have discolouration or shape concerns on front teeth
  • You are looking for a premium, long-lasting veneer solution

How it works

01

Consultation

We assess your teeth, discuss your goals and show you digitally what e.max veneers could look like. We confirm suitability and plan your smile design.

02

Preparation

A fine layer of enamel — as little as 0.3mm — is gently removed from the front of your teeth. Temporaries are placed so you leave the same day with a smile.

03

Laboratory fabrication

Your bespoke e.max veneers are crafted by a specialist ceramist and shade-matched with precision to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

04

Bonding

Temporaries are removed, your e.max veneers are carefully fitted, adjusted and permanently bonded for a beautiful, lasting result.

The gold standard in cosmetic veneers — ultra-thin, lifelike, and built to last.

What makes e.max different?

Most ceramics used in dentistry are either purely aesthetic or purely strong — e.max achieves both. Its lithium disilicate structure gives it a flexural strength of around 400 MPa, while its internal crystalline structure creates natural light-scattering that mimics real enamel far more convincingly than conventional porcelain.

No-prep e.max veneers

Because e.max can be fabricated at such fine thicknesses, some patients are suitable for no-prep veneers — where no enamel is removed at all. This is ideal for patients who want a reversible option, or whose teeth have slightly reduced facial volume that benefits from additional ceramic thickness.

Common questions

How long do e.max veneers last?+
With proper care, 15–20 years or more. Lithium disilicate ceramic is significantly stronger than standard feldspathic porcelain and composite — making e.max one of the most durable veneer materials available.
Are e.max veneers suitable for me?+
They are ideal for front teeth where aesthetics are the priority. We assess suitability at your consultation — factors include tooth position, bite, and your aesthetic goals.
How much natural tooth needs to be removed?+
Very little — typically just 0.3–0.5mm. In some cases, no preparation is required at all (known as no-prep or minimal-prep e.max veneers), preserving your natural tooth entirely.
What is the difference between e.max and standard porcelain veneers?+
e.max is a specific lithium disilicate ceramic that is stronger and more translucent than conventional feldspathic porcelain. It is the preferred material of many leading ceramists for its combination of aesthetics and longevity.
Can e.max veneers be whitened?+
No — ceramic does not respond to whitening agents. The shade is set when the veneer is made. If you plan to whiten your natural teeth, do so before your veneers are fabricated so we can match the colour perfectly.

Robert Heaven
Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Susannah Carter
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
Alex Brandon
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Sarah Philbrook
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Deniz Takimoglu
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend

So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
