Zirconium/Emax Crowns

Zirconium/Emax Crowns

Zirconium/Emax Crowns are types of dental crowns that are used to restore damaged, decayed, or discolored teeth. They are made of either zirconium or Emax ceramic, which are strong and biocompatible materials. These crowns are designed to look and function like natural teeth, with excellent durability and resistance to wear and tear. 

Zirconium/Emax Crowns are a popular choice for their strength, aesthetics, and long-term success in restoring teeth.

What is the cost of Zirconium/Emax Crowns?

The average Zirconia/EMAX crown cost in Pakistan ranges between 20,000 PKR to 25,000 PKR.

What diagnosis leads to the Zirconium/Emax Crowns?

Zirconium/Emax crowns are usually recommended as a treatment option for a variety of dental issues, such as:

  • Teeth that are cracked or chipped may require a crown to prevent further damage and restore their appearance and function.

  • Teeth that are severely discolored or stained.

  • When a tooth has extensive decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling.

  • When a tooth has a large filling, it may be weakened and at risk of fracturing. 

  • Teeth that have had root canal treatment may require a crown to protect and strengthen the tooth.

What is the Procedure for the Zirconium/Emax Crowns?

The procedure for placing Zirconium/Emax crowns typically involves the following steps:

Step 1: The affected tooth is prepared by removing any decayed or damaged areas and shaping the tooth to fit the crown.

Step 2: An impression of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth is taken to create a custom-made Zirconium/Emax crown that fits perfectly.

Step 3: A temporary crown may be placed on the tooth.

Step 4: Once the Zirconium/Emax crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is placed on the tooth. The dentist will ensure that the crown fits properly and feels comfortable.

Step 5: After the crown is placed, the patient is instructed on how to care for the crown and maintain good oral hygiene.
