Zirconium veneers use the same zirconium oxide as our crowns: a very resistant ceramic material with an excellent ability to cover severely discolored teeth, where more translucent veneers would make the underlying color shine through. We design them from a digital impression and mill them in the internal CAD/CAM laboratory. The list price is €350 per veneer, with a 5-year written guarantee.

When zirconium is the right choice
Zirconium is more opaque than disilicate: this very characteristic makes it ideal when the underlying tooth is dark - for example after a root canal or for discolouration caused by tetracyclines - because it masks the background colour. It is also more resistant to loads, useful for patients with intense chewing.
- Front teeth with marked discoloration or dark devitalized teeth
- Patients looking for maximum mechanical resistance
- Rehabilitations combined with zirconium crowns on the same sectors
Zirconium or E-max: the honest difference
Le E-max. veneers in lithium disilicate they are more translucent and give the most natural result on normal colored teeth; zirconium covers dark backgrounds better and is more robust, at the expense of a pinch of optical vitality. During the visit we show you samples of the two materials on your tooth and we decide together.
