The short answer
Composite veneers are cheaper (from 800 MAD ≈ £64 per tooth in Marrakech), done in one session with little or no drilling, and last about 5–8 years. Emax porcelain veneers cost more (from 3,500 MAD ≈ £280 per tooth) but are stronger, stain-proof and last 10–15+ years. Choose composite for small fixes or a tighter budget; choose Emax for a long-lasting, highly natural full-smile result.
- Cost: composite from 800 MAD/tooth, Emax from 3,500 MAD/tooth.
- Lifespan: composite 5–8 years, Emax 10–15+ years.
- Time: composite in one visit; Emax over a few close-set visits.
- Composite is reversible and repairable; Emax never changes colour.

Frequently asked questions
Are Emax veneers worth the extra cost?
For a full smile you want to keep for 10–15 years or more, usually yes: Emax resists stains and wear far better than composite. For small corrections, composite often gives excellent value.
Can composite veneers be upgraded to Emax later?
Yes. Because composite is additive, it's a common way to trial a new smile before moving to porcelain.
