Zirconia E-max Ivoclar II Veneer
Zirconia E-max Ivoclar II Veneer
The Ivoclar II veneer is the flagship of our layered range - a zirconia core finished with additional hand-applied Ivoclar IPS e.max ceramic for the deepest, most natural translucency we offer over a reinforced base.
At its heart sits a high-strength zirconia core, the same reinforced foundation that gives our layered veneers a resilience a glass-only shell simply cannot match. Over that base, our ceramist hand-applies additional layers of genuine Ivoclar IPS e.max ceramic, building up colour, depth, and surface character by hand rather than relying on a single pressed shade. This is what sets the Ivoclar II apart from our other layered builds: the extra hand-layering of authentic Ivoclar ceramic is what creates the rich, light-catching translucency that reads as natural enamel. The result is the most refined way we know to combine genuine core strength with true smile-zone artistry.
Because the ceramic is hand-layered rather than uniform, light moves through the veneer the way it does through a real tooth - picking up subtle gradients from the slightly warmer neck to a more translucent edge. Each shell is shade-matched to the teeth around it, so a single restoration blends in and a full set of front teeth looks balanced and alive rather than flat or 'too perfect.' Most cases are completed comfortably in one to two visits, with impressions and planning captured first and the finished veneers fitted and fine-tuned once our lab has crafted them. The zirconia base beneath it all means you gain this lifelike finish without trading away durability.
This is the peak of our layered veneer range, and the standard our team applies follows the premium-quality benchmark Dental Med Austria is built on. International patients can begin entirely from home: send us a panoramic X-ray and a few photos, and we will prepare a free written treatment plan within 24-48 hours, so you arrive in Tirana knowing exactly what is involved, how many visits to expect, and what your smile is being designed to look like. Every Ivoclar II veneer uses genuine Ivoclar IPS e.max ceramic over a true zirconia core - no shortcuts on the materials that define the result.
Your new veneers feel natural almost immediately; a little sensitivity to hot or cold can settle within a few days as you adjust. Care for them as you would your own teeth - regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups - and the zirconia core combined with stain-resistant e.max ceramic helps your smile hold its shade and strength for years.
Ideal for: Patients who want our most lifelike, hand-layered veneer for the smile zone without compromising on core strength - especially international patients seeking a premium result.

Frequently Asked
Questions about zirconia e-max ivoclar ii veneer
Is the Ivoclar II the best layered veneer you offer?+
Yes - it tops our layered line, combining the extra Ivoclar hand-layering of the II build with a zirconia core, for the richest aesthetics and reassuring durability in one veneer.
How is an Ivoclar II veneer planned?+
As our top layered tier, your plan reflects the lab artistry involved and the number of teeth. For a personalised plan, send a panoramic X-ray and a few photos for a free written treatment plan within 24-48 hours.
What's the difference between the zirconia core and a full E-max veneer?+
A full E-max veneer is monolithic glass-ceramic that transmits light all the way through, while the Ivoclar II adds a zirconia core beneath the hand-layered ceramic. That core gives extra reinforcement, so you get lifelike translucency on top of a stronger base.
How natural will the result look?+
Because our ceramist hand-applies the Ivoclar IPS e.max ceramic in layers, the veneer picks up the subtle colour gradients and translucency of a real tooth and is shade-matched to the teeth around it, so it blends in rather than looking flat or artificial.
Can I plan my treatment from abroad before travelling to Tirana?+
Absolutely. Send us a panoramic X-ray and a few photos and we'll prepare a free written treatment plan within 24-48 hours, so you arrive knowing the number of visits, the design, and what to expect.
