Emax crowns are a type of all-ceramic crown made from a single block of lithium disilicate, a high-quality material known for its durability, translucency, and lifelike appearance. These crowns are designed to mimic the natural look of your teeth, providing a seamless blend with your existing smile. Emax crowns are commonly used for restoring teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or weakened, as well as for improving the appearance of misshapen or uneven teeth.
The process of getting an Emax crown typically involves two dental visits. Here is an overview of the steps involved in the procedure:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Initial Consultation and Examination: During the first visit, the dentist will examine the affected tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of damage or decay. Impressions of your teeth may also be taken to create a mold for the crown. |
| 2 | Tooth Preparation: The dentist will remove any decay and shape the tooth to prepare it for the crown. A local anesthetic is usually administered to ensure comfort during this process. |
| 3 | Impression Taking: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to ensure the custom-made Emax crown fits perfectly. The impression is sent to a dental lab where the crown is fabricated. |
| 4 | Temporary Crown Placement: A temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it while the final Emax crown is being made. |
| 5 | Final Crown Placement: During the second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the final Emax crown is bonded to the tooth using a strong dental adhesive. The dentist will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect bite and appearance. |
This procedure offers a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Proper care is essential to maintaining the appearance and longevity of your Emax crown. Here are some important post-procedure care tips:
Emax crowns are highly durable and can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential to extend their lifespan.
Yes, Emax crowns are suitable for both front and back teeth due to their strength and natural appearance. However, your dentist will evaluate if they are the best option based on your specific dental needs.
Emax crowns are resistant to staining; however, it is still important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid excessive consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, and tobacco.
The procedure is typically not painful, as a local anesthetic is used to numb the area during tooth preparation. Patients may experience mild discomfort after the procedure, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The cost of Emax crowns varies depending on the complexity of the case, the dentist's experience, and the geographic location of the practice. It is best to consult with your dentist for a personalized estimate.
Emax crowns offer a highly aesthetic and durable solution for restoring damaged or discolored teeth. With their natural appearance, strength, and biocompatibility, they provide an excellent option for both front and back teeth.
