Emax veneers transforming smiles at Elite Dental Center

Luke Patrick Ryan, a 33-year-old marketing specialist from Australia, struggled with self-confidence due to the uneven color, irregular shape, and gaps between his front teeth. Seeking a solution, he traveled to Vietnam and chose Elite Dental Center for veneer treatment.

Guided by Dr. Ho Thi Thanh Hoai, a skilled prosthodontist, Luke's nine upper teeth were transformed over three appointments within seven days, leaving him thrilled with the results.

Dr Hoai explains that veneers provide a permanent cosmetic solution for issues like crooked, chipped, or stained teeth. Custom-made from strong porcelain or composite materials, veneers blend naturally with existing teeth. Porcelain, popular for its lifelike translucency, enhances smiles with lasting aesthetic appeal.

The veneer process, including examination, mock-ups, tooth preparation, and final attachment, is typically completed in three appointments over six to seven days, as demonstrated by Luke's experience.

Vietnam's reputation as a dental tourism destination continues to emerge, driven by its affordability and exceptional quality. Dental treatments in Vietnam are notably more cost-effective than in many other countries, making veneers an attractive option for those seeking a budget-friendly yet high-quality solution.

Vietnam's dental industry has experienced significant growth, with the number of dental clinics surpassing 2,000 by the end of 2023, according to Ken Research. Notably, Ho Chi Minh City accounted for approximately 40% of these.

Local clinics have strategically invested in modernising their technology and infrastructure to meet the growing demand for high-quality dental care at affordable prices.

"I couldn't find a better deal than the one at Elite Dental Center," Luke said with a confident smile.

In Australia, composite resin veneers can cost AU$300–600 (US$198.50-397) per tooth, while ceramic veneers often exceed AU$2,000 each. Costs depend on the number of veneers and the type chosen. Elite Dental Center offers Emax veneers, crafted from durable lithium glass ceramic, known to last 10–15 years with proper care.

With over a decade of service, Elite Dental Center has built a reputation for high-quality, affordable dental care. Its 30 internationally trained dentists uphold the principle of "minimal invasion, maximum preservation," focusing on maintaining natural tooth structure while addressing cosmetic concerns with modern, minimally invasive methods.

"Our expertise in dental veneers sets us apart. We use advanced materials and technology so patients can visualize their desired outcomes before treatment," said Hoai. "This helps them make informed decisions."
