Reviews

  • After the front teeth were injured, they had to be depulped. Three years later, the teeth changed color and began to differ from healthy ones. Vinyl was made using light fillings, but the color of the teeth was different. When I was offered to install metal-free ceramics E-Max, I refused, because I did not want to grind my teeth. Then I was offered to put porcelain veneers, while the teeth were slightly processed. The color of the teeth is now no different.
  • A metal-ceramic crown was installed on the front tooth, and it was noticeable that the tooth was not real. On the advice of the dentist, I installed a crown made of non-metal ceramics E MAX, which is indistinguishable from my healthy teeth. No one realizes that the tooth is artificial.
  • On the front teeth there were fillings that did not match the color of the teeth and were visible to others. I had to change seals often, but the result did not suit me at all. In the dental clinic, where I turned again, they advised me to perform prosthetics with non-metal ceramics e-max. Everything turned out quite successfully: the teeth are all the same, both in shape and color. I really liked the fact that everyone did it very quickly.
