What are Emax crowns

What are Emax crowns is a very good question, this post reveals all the information on the two most commonly used dental crowns, Zirconia and Emax.

You may be wondering what is the difference between Zirconia and Emax crowns. ?

Indeed, you may also want to know which dental crown is the best choice for your teeth.

It all boils down to which teeth need which type of dental crown, so what do I mean.?

Let’s take an example, you have badly decayed, chipped or damaged front teeth, you want them restored, and you want that perfect smile.

Emax crowns are an ideal solution in this scenario, Emax are very pleasing aesthetically because they look great on front teeth (anterior).

They so closely resemble your real teeth that it is hard to tell the difference.

Emax crowns are made from a naturally thin opaque material which is ideal for anterior (front) teeth.

How long do Emax crowns last

Not surprisingly Emax crowns have approximately a lifespan of 10 years to 15 years.

By that time daily pressure brought on by biting and chewing food may cause cracks or small fractures to appear and they need to be replaced.

The materials used to make Emax crowns makes them more translucent in comparison to Zirconia crowns, this allows more light to pass through.

The extra light coming through makes them look more natural.

These crowns go through a milling process that creates a perfect shape for your teeth.

Fitting Emax crowns

There are a number of steps in fitting Emax crowns:

• Your teeth will need examination and cleaning
• Our Hungarian dentist drills and reshapes your teeth to allow the crowns over them
• Depending on the circumstances ie damage or staining, some of the teeth may be extracted or drilled out.
• Next, our dentist will take a digital impression with the assistance of a putty filled dental mold
• The impression is sent to our laboratory where your new Emax crowns are made, you will be given temporary crowns
• Within two days your Emax crowns are fitted and checked to colour match your natural teeth
• You leave Perfect Smile dental clinic in Hungary with a smile that is pleasing on the eye

Emax v Zirconia crowns

We have looked at what are Emax crowns, let’s compare them to Zirconia crowns.

When we talk about Zirconia dental crowns the first thing that comes to mind is their long lasting durable nature.

They are strong and tough, they need to be to withstand all of the biting and chewing forces that go on at the sides and back of the mouth.

With this in mind Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary recommend Zirconia crowns for the back teeth because they require great strength to withstand all of the daily forces.

In addition we recommend Zirconia crowns to go over dark teeth because their opaque nature can hide the dark shadow.
