Zirconia E-max GiSi II Veneer
Zirconia E-max GiSi II Veneer
The Zirconia E-max GiSi II veneer is our upgraded GiSi build, adding hand-layered E-max ceramic over a strong zirconia core for greater depth, character, and a more individualised smile.
At its heart, the GiSi II veneer keeps the proven structure of our standard GiSi build: a thin, durable zirconia core that gives each shell its strength and resists the everyday forces of biting and chewing. What makes the II version different is the additional hand-layering of GiSi E-max ceramic over that core, applied by our ceramists in carefully built-up layers rather than a single uniform coat. This extra artistry is what creates the lifelike colour transitions, subtle translucency, and surface texture that make a veneer read as a real tooth rather than a flat shell.
Because the result is shaped by hand, the GiSi II is a more individualised veneer than the standard GiSi tier. Your ceramist can fine-tune the warmth of the shade, the way light catches the incisal edge, and the gentle variation across each tooth so the finished smile suits your face rather than looking uniform or 'too perfect'. It sits one step above the standard GiSi veneer and just below our Ivoclar line, making it the natural choice when you want noticeably more detail and character without moving to the flagship layered tier.
As with all our veneer work, the GiSi II is delivered with the premium-quality standards Dental Med Austria is known for, and it is designed with international patients in mind. Before you ever travel to Tirana, you can send a panoramic X-ray and a few photos and receive a free written treatment plan within 24-48 hours, so you know your options, the materials involved, and what to expect ahead of time. Most cases are completed comfortably within one to two visits, allowing many travelling patients to combine treatment with a short, well-planned stay.
Your new veneers feel natural almost immediately, with at most a short period of mild sensitivity that settles quickly. Caring for them is simple - regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups keep the ceramic looking its best for years.
Ideal for: Patients who want a more detailed, hand-layered veneer with extra artistry above the standard GiSi build, while keeping the reassurance of a strong zirconia core.

Frequently Asked
Questions about zirconia e-max gisi ii veneer
What does the 'II' add over a standard GiSi veneer?+
The II build uses extra hand-layering and finishing time in our lab, giving more lifelike colour transitions and surface texture than the standard GiSi veneer - a clear step up in artistry on the same strong zirconia core.
How is the GiSi II different from the Ivoclar II veneer?+
Both are layered veneers over a zirconia core, but the Ivoclar II is our flagship, finished with hand-applied Ivoclar IPS e.max ceramic for the deepest translucency we offer. The GiSi II delivers beautifully enhanced character a tier below that, making it an excellent balance of artistry and value.
Does the hand-layering make the veneer less durable?+
No - the strength comes from the zirconia core beneath, which is unchanged from the standard GiSi build. The added E-max layering is purely for depth and natural appearance and sits on top of that reinforced base.
How is a GiSi II veneer planned?+
It depends on the number of teeth and the complexity of your smile design. For a tailored plan, send a panoramic X-ray and a few photos for a free written treatment plan within 24-48 hours.
How many visits will I need as an international patient?+
Most GiSi II cases are completed in one to two visits, which we plan around your travel so you can finish treatment within a single, well-organised stay in Tirana.
