E.max Restoration

This is a type of allceramic restoration with an appealing translucent colour which is combined with extra strength and durability.

This crown is made from a single block of lithium disilicate ceramic, which is a top grade material that has been harvested for its toughness, durability and opaque qualities which makes it highly desirable.

Advantages of using E.max:

Considered to be the best match with your own natural teeth.
The transparent colour and lifelike shape ensures that it is unlikely to be noticed amongst your own natural teeth.
No metal alloy is used, which means no unsightly looking grey line around the gum line.

Zirconia Restoration

Zirconia is a popular type of allceramic material which is worn to improve the appearance of a tooth which has become stained or disfigured over the years.

They are durable, easy to wear and long lasting. Zirconia has translucent appearance which means that they are indistinguishable from your own teeth. Zirconia is used in many other medical applications such as artificial joints and is known for its strength and durability. Plus there is no fear about the body rejecting zirconia or displaying an allergic reaction to it. It is safe to use and preferred by many people to porcelain fused to metal crowns.

Advantages of Zirconia:

There are three advantages which are:

Strength: zirconia crowns last longer than other types of crowns.
Aesthetics: these crowns have an attractive translucent colour which blends in well with the other teeth.
Retain more of the existing tooth: minimal preparation is required which means more of the original tooth is preserved. This is useful if the crown needs to be removed.
They are ideal at covering signs of damage or staining as well as helping to maintain the function of the tooth.

So, a good recommendation, if you are looking for a strong, long lasting and visually appealing crown.
