A CEREC e.max crown is a type of all-ceramic dental crown that is made using the CEREC CAD/CAM technology. The e.max material used to create these crowns is a type of lithium disilicate glass ceramic, which is known for its strength, durability, and natural-looking appearance.
Like other CEREC crowns, a CEREC e.max crown is created using a digital impression of the patient's tooth, which is used to design the crown using computer-aided design software. The design is then sent to a milling machine, which carves the crown out of a solid block of e.max material. Once the crown is milled, it is bonded to the patient's tooth using dental cement.
CEREC e.max crowns are a popular choice because they offer several advantages over other types of dental crowns. They are extremely strong and durable, and can withstand the forces of chewing and biting without cracking or breaking. They also have a natural-looking appearance that closely mimics the appearance of natural teeth, making them a good choice for front teeth and other visible areas of the mouth. Finally, because they can be created in a single dental appointment, they offer a convenient and efficient option for patients who need a dental crown. This service is available at Dr. Mercedes Del Valle’s Integrated Family Dentistry office in Eugene.
In addition to their strength and natural-looking appearance, CEREC e.max crowns offer other benefits as well. Because they are made from a single block of ceramic material, there are no metal components in the crown that can cause allergic reactions or interfere with x-rays. The e.max material is also highly biocompatible, meaning it is unlikely to cause irritation or other complications in the surrounding gum tissue.
CEREC e.max crowns are also highly customizable, allowing dentists to create crowns that match the color and shape of the surrounding teeth. This can help ensure that the crown blends in seamlessly with the patient's natural smile, making it difficult to distinguish from the patient's natural teeth.
Overall, CEREC e.max crowns are a popular choice for patients who need a dental crown due to their strength, durability, natural-looking appearance, and convenience.
