Dental veneers in Barcelona · Premium guide
IPS e.max Porcelain Veneers
Natural, strong and metal-free smiles. e.max dental veneers combine twenty years of clinical evidence with smile design using e.max porcelain, explained simply by our dentists in Barcelona.
At Advanced Dental & Medical Clinic we see it every day: when a tooth needs a crown, a veneer or an inlay, the big question is which material should we use? In our clinic we work with IPS e.max, the lithium disilicate porcelain from Ivoclar (Liechtenstein), one of the most widely used and studied in the world. If you are looking for porcelain dental veneers in Barcelona, here is why e.max is the preferred choice in advanced dental aesthetics. These e.max porcelain veneers are known for their strength and natural look, and are highly recommended across Spain for both local and international patients.
* Data published by Ivoclar (worldwide figure as of December 2024 and Scientific Report Vol. 4, 2025, summarising more than 20 international studies).

Why choose e.max dental veneers in Barcelona?
In our clinic we design dental veneers in Barcelona one by one, for each patient. We choose IPS e.max porcelain for one clear reason: it is the perfect balance between aesthetics and strength. That is why they are both strong veneers and the best-aesthetic dental porcelain in Barcelona.
Recommended veneers in Spain
IPS e.max is one of the most used and recommended porcelains in Spain for veneers and crowns, backed by millions of cases and clinical studies.
Strong veneers
Made from lithium disilicate (~500 MPa), these e.max porcelain veneers are several times stronger than traditional porcelain.
Best aesthetics in Barcelona
Their translucency and smile design with e.max porcelain deliver a natural result: the best dental aesthetics in Barcelona, with no grey metal line.
What are e.max veneers and crowns?
e.max veneers (many patients search for them as "Emax veneers" or "IMAX veneers") are made with IPS e.max, a glass-ceramic reinforced with lithium disilicate crystals. In simple terms: it combines the beauty and translucency of glass with millions of microcrystals that give it strength. The result is a completely metal-free material that looks and behaves very much like natural enamel. Both a veneer and an e.max porcelain crown take advantage of these same properties.
It can be made in two ways, and your dentist will choose the most suitable for your case:
Pressed · e.max Press
Pressed porcelain
The technician models your tooth and the ceramic is melted and pressure-injected into a mould. It achieves a very precise fit and excellent aesthetics, ideal for veneers and front teeth.
Milled · e.max CAD
Milled porcelain (CAD/CAM)
Your tooth is scanned in 3D, the restoration is designed by computer and a high-precision mill carves it from a ceramic block. It is fast and very accurate.
Two decades of trust
A dental material earns trust over time: years of use, millions of patients and independent clinical studies.
Benefits for you as a patient
Natural aesthetics
Its translucency lets light pass through like a real tooth. No one will notice you have a restoration.
Strong and durable
Several times stronger than traditional porcelain, with over 20 years of clinical results.
100% metal-free
No grey line at the gum of old crowns, and a great option for people sensitive to metals.
Protects your tooth
In many cases it allows thin restorations, so less healthy tooth is removed.
Stable colour
Its glazed surface resists coffee, tea or wine stains much better than resins.
Digital precision
Computer scanning and design for an exact fit and a comfortable bite.
e.max versus other porcelains
Not all "porcelains" are the same. Here is how they compare in flexural strength (MPa). Higher = stronger:
Our philosophy: there is no perfect material for everything. In cases of heavy chewing forces or severe bruxism, your dentist may recommend zirconia. At your assessment we will explain which option is best for your mouth.
