What is an E-max Crown?
You must be wondering if this is some brand new type of crown. And what do it serve?
Just so you know – E-max crown is not new in practice, it has been around for a long time. When all ceramic crowns appeared, they were initially made of zircon. However, that zircon was not transparent enough and could not aesthetically faithfully imitate a natural tooth. That is why a type of ceramic called lithium disilicate was developed, and crown made of this type of ceramic became known as e max dental crown.
Today, the technology of both zirconia crown and e-max dental crown has been significantly improved, so both crowns can give completely natural effects.

So why would you choose E-max dental crown when the zircon is so popular?
And we have to answer that question with a question – exactly what kind of smile do you want, whether very white and straighter teeth or a completely natural look?
We have to admit that with an e-max crown, it is still a little easier to achieve a natural tooth appearance. By this we are thinking of crown where it is necessary to combine a million colors just like natural teeth have.
But if you want straight and white teeth we would rather recommend zirconia crowns, we will mention why in the rest of the text.
E-max crown has significantly improved aesthetic properties. It looks nice, it is quite transparent what we demand from a crown. It fits perfectly into the natural dentition. However, the better the aesthetic characteristics, the weaker the strength and resistance to pressure, which must be taken into account when planning therapy.
E max dental crown is commonly used as single (on one tooth), on front or back teeth. Bridges can be made in smaller spans, up to three members, and only in the front aesthetic region.
So if you are looking for large span bridges, we will not be able to make them from e max ceramic. It is just not that resistant. But don’t worry, we can certainly make such a bridge from zircon. And today’s aesthetically improved zircon also gives great smiles, as if they were your natural teeth.
E-max dental crown is routinely used in dental practice. It is intended for everyone who wants quality materials with modern manufacturing technology and minimal tooth grinding. They are a great choice for a dream smile because they have no limits – with them we can lengthen, straighten teeth, close gaps, adjust the bite and permanently “whiten” teeth.
Are you afraid that e-max crown will change it`s color once it is made?
No worry! E-max dental crown cannot change colour over the long term in the same way natural tooth can. The ceramic material used in E-max dental crown has high resistance to staining and does not discolour over time. So you can drink as much coffee or wine as you want (of course, as far as the color of the crown is concerned), but please do not overdo it for general health.
It is important to practice good oral hygiene and we will explain in detail how to maintain it.
How do you imagine the process of making an e-max dental crown?
We hope you don’t think of it as something painful, unpleasant and complicated because it really isn’t.
With the use of local anesthesia, there is really no worry or mention of pain, the procedure is completely painless.
At the Queen clinic, there are no unpleasant impressions, we have been using scanners (virtual impressions of your teeth) for a long time, so the procedure is easy and comfortable for you.
The only real drawback of E-max dental crown is the cost. This material is more expensive than traditional porcelains and others due to the advanced technique. Usually E-max dental crown cost between 400 to 700 eur per one.
