ZIRCONIUM – EMAX CROWNS

What is zirconium?

Zirconium is a white powdery metal oxide. Like other common dental crown materials, it is a ceramic. Zirconium is made of a metal with similar properties to titanium. Zirconium is a good choice for dental material because it is not chemically reactive.

Zirconium has many properties that make it a good choice for dental crown material. Some of these beneficial properties include:

• Due to the nature of the material, they are crowns that can be easily modified, reformed and colored, which allows for maximum refinement of aesthetic results .
• They do not require a metal base , so zirconium teeth are ideal for placing in anterior or more visible areas.
• They are very resistant to stains , compared to other types of dental crowns.
• Being a material that resists extreme temperatures very well, zirconia crowns reduce dental sensitivity that usually occurs when placing a dental crown.
• It is the most appropriate option for patients who are incompatible with other types of crowns , such as those who are allergic to metal, since zirconium is a biocompatible and safe material.
• In patients who exert excessive pressure or force on the denture. Thus, zirconium crowns are the most indicated in patients who bite their nails or have bruxism.
• Economically, they represent a greater investment than other types of crowns, but zirconium crowns are well worth paying their price, since the results obtained are unbeatable.

Difference between Zirconia and Emax crowns

Zirconia crowns are also preferred over ceramic metal mix crowns due to the above-mentioned characteristics. But the Emax crowns are preferred over Zirconia as these offer better strength.

So, the E max crowns, along with the good properties same as zirconia, also possess better strength as the ceramic metal mix crowns. Moreover, it is resistant to chipping, unlike zirconia crowns.

The material used in Emax crowns is made from lithium disilicate ceramic. It is a durable material, mainly harvested for its durability and translucency.

How much does a zirconium crown cost?

Its cost is only a little higher than those of metal-porcelain. The reason is that it is a material that is becoming widespread in Dentistry, which has reduced its manufacturing cost compared to a few years.

Do Zirconium and Emax Crowns Cause Pain?

Whichever of the zirconium and emax crown applications is preferred, the teeth may become slightly sensitive during the treatment process. During this sensitivity process, minor aches and pains may occur. However, as the teeth get used to these foreign objects over time, there is no pain problem.

Are Zirconium and Emax Crowns Long Lasting?

Both treatment methods are produced from quality materials. Moreover, both are applications that are considered suitable for the treatment process. These methods, which are applied to maximize dental health and protect teeth, are an ideal form of treatment as they resemble natural teeth. At the same time, they are durable and long-lasting thanks to the robust materials they contain.

How Much Do Zirconium and Emax Crowns Cost?

Prices depends on the using of quality materials, the application process, and the professionalism of the physician. For detailed information about zirconium and Emax crown prices, you can contact us at 0312 478 58 58 or contact us and make an appointment.
