E-max Empress Dental Crowns & Veneers Istanbul Turkey Dental Clinic

E-max dental crowns are made from lithium disilicate, a high-crystalline, semi-translucent material in the glass ceramic class. They are preferred in lamina veneers, inlay-onlay, and full ceramic restorations, being considered the gold standard material. They provide a natural look with a rich color palette. The ability to work with them in desired thickness helps complete the procedure with minimal removal of tooth structure.

How Are E-max Empress Crowns Made?

E-max dental crowns can be chosen for various reasons, such as achieving an aesthetic smile, correcting tooth color or shape, or repairing cracked or chipped teeth. The process for making E-max dental crowns, which are preferred by many people, is quite practical.

The first step is for the dentist to examine the teeth and assess their needs. X-rays and other imaging techniques can be used to determine if E-max dental crowns are suitable for the individual. Expectations regarding the crown’s color, size, and shape can be discussed with the dentist.

Before E-max crowns can be applied, some tooth reduction may be necessary. This is done to ensure that the crowns to be placed later fit properly. The dentist will remove a thin layer from the teeth and, if necessary, shape them to ensure the correct fit. Local anesthesia can be applied at this stage if needed.

After preparing the teeth, the dentist will take measurements inside the mouth. This is done to send the measurements to the laboratory to have custom-made crowns. While the measurements are sent to the laboratory, temporary crowns can be placed on the teeth. These temporary crowns help protect the teeth and provide an acceptable appearance from an aesthetic perspective. Custom-made E-max crowns are received from the laboratory and placed by the dentist. The crowns are placed on the teeth and fixed in place using adhesive. The dentist can perform color and fit checks to ensure that the crowns are properly seated. After placing the crowns, the dentist can make minor adjustments to the shape and size of the teeth.

Who Are Not Suitable Candidates for E-max Crowns?

E-max dental crowns are an aesthetic and durable porcelain crown type. However, in some cases, E-max crowns may not be suitable. These include:

• Excessive tooth wear
• Severe teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
• Gum diseases
• Tooth structure and position irregularities

What Are the Differences Between E-max Empress and Zirconium?

E-max and Zirconium are two different dental crown methods that show differences in terms of aesthetics and durability. Here are the differences:

• E-max Empress crowns are made from porcelain material. Zirconium, on the other hand, is produced from a ceramic material called zirconium oxide.
• E-max Empress crowns have a translucency closer to natural teeth. This feature means that light can pass through the crown and provide a natural appearance. Zirconium is more opaque.

How Long Is the Lifespan of E-max Empress Crowns?

E-max Empress dental crowns are a popular choice for dental restorations due to their durability and aesthetic appearance. The lifespan of dental crowns can vary depending on several factors. Generally, the lifespan of E-max dental crowns is approximately 10 to 15 years.

However, this period can vary depending on the individual and the use of the crowns. E-max dental crowns can have a longer lifespan when properly applied and maintained. This involves regular brushing of the teeth, the use of dental floss, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding harmful habits like teeth grinding.
