Treatment Time

Up to 8 teeth: 5 to 7 working days

Over 8 teeth: 6 to 8 working days

We usually suggest the longest period (7 days or 8 days). Aesthetic teeth require diligent work and we want you to test your new teeth with temporary glue for few days. (Sunday is not included in working days).

 

Treatment Stages

The treatment stages of all-ceramic Emax crowns with digital dentistry may vary depending on the individual patient's needs and the specific dental office or clinic. However, here are the general stages that are typically involved in the process:

Consultation and Examination: The first stage involves a consultation with a dental professional, during which the patient's oral health is evaluated and treatment options are discussed. X-rays orCy Scan may be taken to assess the extent of tooth damage or decay.

Digital Scanning: The next stage involves taking digital impressions of the teeth using an intraoral scanner. This is a quick and comfortable process that eliminates the need for traditional impression materials.

Crown Design: Once the digital impressions are taken, the crown design process begins. The dental professional uses specialized software to create a 3D model of the crown that is customized to fit the patient's tooth and surrounding area. The patient can view the virtual model and provide feedback before the crown is fabricated.

Crown Fabrication: After the crown design is finalized, the digital model is sent to a milling machine that fabricates the crown from a block of Emax ceramic material. This process is faster than traditional crown fabrication techniques and produces a highly accurate and precise fit.

Crown Placement: When the Emax crown is ready, it is bonded to the prepared tooth using a special dental cement. The dental professional will check the fit and adjust the bite if necessary.

Follow-Up: After the crown is placed, the patient may need to return for a follow-up visit to ensure that the crown is fitting properly and that there are no issues with the bite or sensitivity.

Overall, the treatment stages of all-ceramic Emax crowns with digital dentistry are generally straightforward and involve several visits to the dental office or clinic. The process is designed to restore the function and appearance of damaged or decayed teeth, and to provide a natural-looking smile that can last for many years with proper care.

 

What is All Ceramix Crowns? (Emax)

mic crowns are aesthetically the most advanced crowns that are either based on hardened porcelain or completely made from hardened porcelain. These crowns do not contain metal or zirconium infrastructure.

 

It can be applied to patients who need single crowning of central incisors, bridging works for 1-2 missing teeth and teeth with considerable material loss that do not allow lamination. You may consult us to learn if it is the right solution for you. Because of legal restrictions we cannot put “before and after” photos of all-ceramic crowns on our website.

All Ceramic Crowns vs. Veneers? 

All-ceramic crowns and veneers are both cosmetic dental treatments that can improve the appearance of teeth. While both treatments can achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile, they differ in their purpose and the extent of tooth preparation required.

 

All-ceramic crowns are typically used to restore a tooth that has been significantly damaged or decayed, or to replace an old metal or amalgam filling. They cover the entire tooth and are designed to match the color and shape of the surrounding teeth. All-ceramic crowns are a good option for teeth that require more extensive restoration, as they provide both strength and cosmetic improvement.

 

Veneers, on the other hand, are a cosmetic treatment that are used to improve the appearance of front teeth that are discolored, chipped, or slightly misaligned. They are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth to create a brighter, more uniform smile. Veneers are a good option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their teeth without undergoing more extensive tooth preparation.

 

In terms of tooth preparation, all-ceramic crowns typically require more removal of natural tooth structure than veneers. This is because the crown must cover the entire tooth, while a veneer only covers the front surface of the tooth. Therefore, in cases where tooth structure needs to be preserved, veneers may be the preferred option.

 

Ultimately, the choice between all-ceramic crowns and veneers depends on the individual needs and goals of the patient. A dental professional can assess the condition of the teeth and help determine which treatment is most appropriate for each individual case.

 

Al Ceramic Crowns vs. Zirconia Crowns?

All-ceramic crowns and zirconia crowns are both types of dental restorations that can be used to replace damaged or missing teeth. While they share some similarities, they differ in their materials, durability, and aesthetics.

 

All-ceramic crowns are made entirely of dental ceramic, which can be designed to closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth. They are typically used for teeth that are in visible areas of the mouth, such as the front teeth. All-ceramic crowns are known for their natural-looking appearance, but they may not be as strong or durable as some other materials.

 

Zirconia crowns, on the other hand, are made of a special type of ceramic that is reinforced with zirconium oxide. This makes them stronger and more durable than all-ceramic crowns, which makes them a good option for teeth that are subjected to greater biting and chewing forces, such as molars. Zirconia crowns are also highly resistant to chipping and cracking, and can be designed to closely match the natural color of teeth.

 

In terms of aesthetics, all-ceramic crowns may have a slight advantage over zirconia crowns, as they can be designed to have a more natural-looking translucency. However, zirconia crowns have improved significantly in recent years and can still provide a highly aesthetic and natural-looking result.

All-ceramic crowns, specifically those made from Emax, offer several advantages compared to other types of dental crowns. Here are some of the advantages of all-ceramic crowns made from Emax:

  1. Aesthetics: Emax crowns provide a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing appearance. They can be designed to closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth, and the ceramic material reflects light in a way that mimics natural tooth enamel.

  2. Biocompatibility: Emax crowns are made from biocompatible materials that are well-tolerated by the body. This means that they are less likely to cause allergic reactions or other adverse effects.

  3. Durability: Emax crowns are highly durable and resistant to chipping and cracking. They are able to withstand the normal forces of biting and chewing, and can last for many years with proper care.

  4. Strength: Although all-ceramic crowns are not as strong as metal or zirconia crowns, Emax crowns are still relatively strong and can be used for teeth that are subjected to moderate biting and chewing forces.

  5. Tooth preservation: Emax crowns require less tooth reduction than some other types of crowns, which means that more natural tooth structure can be preserved.

  6. Comfort: All-ceramic Emax crowns have a smooth and polished surface that feels comfortable in the mouth. They also do not conduct heat or cold like metal crowns, which can be a source of discomfort for some patients.

Overall, all-ceramic crowns made from Emax are an excellent option for patients who want to restore the function and appearance of their teeth while maintaining a natural-looking smile.

All-ceramic crowns, specifically those made from Emax (a type of dental ceramic), have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their aesthetic appeal and natural-looking appearance. However, like all dental treatments, they also have some potential disadvantages to consider. Here are some of the disadvantages of all-ceramic crowns made from Emax:

  1. Cost: Emax crowns can be more expensive than other types of dental crowns, which may be a barrier for some patients.

  2. Fragility: While Emax crowns are highly durable and resistant to chipping and cracking, they are still more prone to fracture than metal or zirconia crowns. This means that they may not be the best option for patients who grind or clench their teeth, or who have a history of dental fractures.

  3. Thickness: Emax crowns may require more tooth reduction than other types of crowns in order to achieve the desired aesthetic result. This can be a concern for some patients who want to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.

  4. Bonding: All-ceramic crowns require a strong bond to the underlying tooth structure in order to be effective. If the bond fails, the crown may become loose or even fall out, which can be a concern for patients.

  5. Wear on opposing teeth: All-ceramic crowns may cause wear on opposing teeth due to their ceramic material, which is softer than natural tooth enamel. This can lead to problems with tooth sensitivity or the need for further dental treatment down the line.

It's important to discuss these potential disadvantages with a dental professional to determine if all-ceramic Emax crowns are the right option for your dental needs and goals.
