E-Max Crowns - Optimal Strength and Wear Resistance
Based in Hallandale Beach, Florida, Raphael Arwas, DDS, offers patients quality general and cosmetic dentistry services. Dr. Raphael Arwas performs implants in cases where teeth have been lost, and he also offers all-ceramic E-Max crowns. The E-max presents several advantages over other types of crowns, including optimal resistance to chipping and cracking. In addition to durability, a key feature of ceramic formulations is attractiveness, as the crowns look completely natural, making them ideal replacements for stained and damaged teeth. A key differentiator of the E-Max crown is its construction from a single, top-grade, lithium disilicate ceramic block. This ensures its strength and durability and makes it a perfect material for even those teeth that experience significant wear. In preparing the tooth for an E-max crown, the dentist reshapes the natural tooth with a small drill and takes an impression. This impression is sent to a dental laboratory for the zirconia crown to be fabricated. During the wait, which can be as long as 2 or 3 weeks, the patient wears a temporary crown.
