If you’re deciding between Emax veneers, zirconia crowns, and composite bonding, the “best” option depends on your tooth condition, bite forces, and how natural you want the result to look. This guide breaks down the differences clearly—so you can choose the safest option (not the trendiest one).

Quick Answer: Which One Should You Choose?
💎 Emax Veneers
Best for: Natural aesthetics- Most natural translucency (smile zone)
- Conservative preparation in many cases
- Ideal when teeth are structurally healthy
Best next step: Emax veneers in Turkey
🛡️ Zirconia Crowns
Best for: Strength & coverage- Great for heavy grinding (bruxism)
- Suitable for dark teeth / damaged structure
- Full-coverage restoration option

✨ Composite Bonding
Best for: Minor corrections- Often no drilling for small fixes
- Same-day improvements in many cases
- Budget-friendly and conservative
Best next step: Composite bonding in Turkey
Clinical note: We don’t “push” one treatment for everyone. Cases are digitally evaluated to decide whether you need a veneer, a crown, or a conservative bonding approach.

How to Choose Safely (Not Just by Price)
Many “Turkey teeth” problems come from choosing the wrong treatment for the wrong case—usually driven by price. Instead, ask for: (1) conservative planning, (2) material confirmation, (3) a clear timeline, and (4) a plan that fits your bite.
