Emax Crowns
E-Max
E-Max is a type of all ceramic crown which is preferred for its long lasting, aesthetic properties. This type of crown along with the Zirconia crown is worn due to their highly natural and attractive appearance which complements the rest of your teeth.
An E-max is made from a single block of lithium disilicate ceramic - an all-ceramic top grade material giving it an appealing translucent colour along with strength and durability.
E-Max crowns are considered a breakthrough in technology as it’s a glass ceramic crown which is tough and enduring yet delicate in appearance. This type of crown is considered to be the best match with your own natural teeth.
The transparent colour and lifelike shape ensures that it’s unlikely to be noticed in the mouth. They are also strong and long lasting.
How is an E-max crown fitted?
In many cases only a small amount of tooth preparation is required. The tooth is examined and reshaped. An impression is then taken and sent to the laboratory to be cast which will then be used to fabricate your E-Max crown.
When the new crown is ready you will return to the dental surgery where the new crown is checked for fit and shade before being cemented into place.
