The cost of a dental veneer in Albania varies from 200 to 300 euros, depending on the materials used such as porcelain, emax or zirconia. This competitive price comes due to the high request of dental veneers and low tax rate in Albania. The veneers have a high quality, this due to the modern CAD/CAM technology used to manufacture them with high precision. Emerald Dental Clinic offers 15-20 years of warranty.
“Dental veneers” refer to a non-invasive dental procedure used to improve the aesthetic appearance of the front teeth. These structures closely resemble real teeth but are made from different materials. They are placed over the original tooth and bonded with special adhesives. This procedure can correct the color and shape of the teeth, replace old fillings, or even improve tooth alignment.
They can be applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth, after a careful analysis of the patient’s needs and the feasibility of the procedure. Through photographs of the dental arches and the face, along with the use of specific software, it is possible to create a preliminary “mock-up” showing the expected aesthetic result at the end of the treatment. This allows for small adjustments based on the patient’s needs and preferences.
In addition to their main function of strengthening the tooth, veneers also provide excellent aesthetic results. With modern techniques and materials, it is possible to create crowns that look almost identical to natural teeth.

Zirconia veneers are among the most advanced and durable options available in modern cosmetic dentistry. Made from zirconium dioxide, a high-strength ceramic material, these veneers are designed to withstand years of wear while maintaining a natural, radiant appearance. At Emerald Dental Clinic, zirconia veneers are a popular choice for patients who want both strength and beauty, especially when correcting damaged, discolored, or misshapen front teeth.
What makes zirconia veneers so remarkable is their ability to combine durability and aesthetics in one solution. Zirconia is a biocompatible material, meaning it is completely safe and well-tolerated by gum tissue. It does not cause irritation or allergic reactions, making it an ideal option even for patients with sensitivities to metal or composite materials. Because zirconia veneers are metal-free, they also eliminate the risk of the dark gum line that sometimes appears with older veneer types.
Another key advantage of zirconia veneers lies in their exceptional strength. While traditional porcelain veneers are beautiful but relatively fragile, zirconia veneers can handle more bite pressure and are far less likely to chip or crack. This makes them suitable not only for front teeth but also for patients with slightly stronger bites or mild bruxism (teeth grinding). Even after years of use, zirconia maintains its integrity and shine, resisting staining from coffee, tea, or smoking.
Thanks to modern CAD/CAM technology, zirconia veneers can now be digitally designed to fit the patient’s teeth with extreme precision. At Emerald Dental Clinic, we begin the process by taking precise dental impressions of your teeth. These impressions are then sent to our dental laboratory, where skilled technicians use advanced design software and 3D modeling to create the exact shape, contour, and shade of each veneer. This collaboration ensures that every veneer fits perfectly, aligns naturally with your smile, and blends harmoniously with your facial features. The result is a seamless finish that looks and feels completely natural in both function and appearance.
A common question we get is about the translucency of zirconia veneers. Early generations of zirconia were indeed very opaque, making them ideal for crowns or teeth with heavy discoloration but less natural-looking for front teeth. However, the latest generation of zirconia veneers, such as translucent zirconia or multilayered zirconia, provides excellent light transmission, mimicking the way natural enamel reflects light. This means you can now achieve both a durable and highly aesthetic smile with zirconia.
When it comes to maintenance, zirconia veneers are easy to care for. You can brush and floss them as you would your natural teeth, and regular dental checkups ensure their longevity. You should also avoid putting excessive stress on your veneers, for example by biting directly into hard foods such as uncut apples. They do not absorb pigments or odors and retain their brightness for many years. Most importantly, zirconia veneers require minimal removal of natural tooth structure compared to older types of restorations, which helps preserve the health of your underlying teeth. With just simple daily care, they’ll keep their natural shine and strength for years to come.
Choosing zirconia veneers is an excellent option for those who prioritize durability, longevity, and biocompatibility. They are perfect for patients who want a stunning, uniform smile that lasts for decades without compromising oral health. At Emerald Dental Clinic, our experienced team crafts zirconia veneers to perfection, ensuring your smile not only looks exceptional but also feels completely natural.
E-max veneers are considered the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry for patients who desire the most natural, translucent, and life-like smile possible. Made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, E-max veneers are thinner than zirconia yet incredibly strong, allowing for an ultra-conservative approach to tooth preparation. Their ability to mimic the color, texture, and light reflection of real enamel makes them the preferred choice for celebrities, models, and anyone seeking a flawless smile transformation.
Unlike other materials, E-max veneers combine strength and beauty in a way that few others can match. The glass-ceramic structure gives them superior translucency, allowing light to pass through the surface just like natural enamel. This means your veneers will blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth, creating an effect so natural that even a trained eye will find it difficult to tell the difference. Whether you want to fix discoloration, chips, uneven spacing, or worn-down teeth, E-max veneers deliver exceptional aesthetic results.
E-max veneers are crafted using cutting-edge technology. At Emerald Dental Clinic, we take digital impressions of your teeth and design the veneers virtually using advanced 3D modeling software. The final veneers are then milled from a single block of E-max ceramic, ensuring consistency, precision, and exceptional fit. This process minimizes human error and allows us to adjust even the smallest details in color and contour before finalizing the veneers. The result is a custom-made smile that fits you perfectly and enhances your facial harmony.
One of the major benefits of E-max veneers is that they require very little enamel removal. Because they are so thin, in many cases they can be applied with minimal preparation or even as “no-prep veneers.” This means the underlying tooth structure is preserved as much as possible, making the treatment reversible in some situations. Despite being ultra-thin, E-max veneers are surprisingly durable and can last for 15 to 20 years or more with proper care.
Another advantage of E-max veneers is their resistance to discoloration. Unlike natural enamel, which can stain over time, the glass-ceramic surface of E-max does not absorb pigments from foods or drinks. This makes them a perfect choice for patients who love coffee, wine, or tea but still want to maintain a bright, white smile for years. They are also gentle on gum tissue and have excellent biocompatibility, ensuring that your mouth remains healthy and comfortable after placement.
Patients often ask which material is better: zirconia or E-max. The answer depends on your individual needs. If you need extra strength due to a strong bite or tooth wear, zirconia veneers might be more suitable. However, if you prioritize natural translucency, ultra-thin design, and the most realistic aesthetic possible, E-max veneers are the superior choice. At Emerald Dental Clinic, our dental specialists evaluate your smile, bite, and overall oral health to help you select the material that best fits your goals.
Caring for E-max veneers is straightforward. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings will keep them looking as bright as the day they were placed. It is also recommended to wear a night guard if you grind your teeth at night, as this helps protect your veneers and prolong their life. You should also avoid putting excessive stress on your veneers, for example by biting directly into hard foods such as uncut apples. With proper maintenance and periodic checkups, your E-max veneers will continue to look stunning for decades.
