Restore Your Teeth Beautifully With e.max Crowns in Durango

When you smile, nobody needs to know which tooth has your dental crown. And they won't with e.max crowns in Durango. The material catches light like natural enamel. These all-ceramic restorations are made from lithium disilicate, a glass-ceramic known for its strength and lifelike look.

Lithium disilicate resists chipping and withstands everyday biting forces. Because it doesn't contain metal, you'll never see a gray edge at the gumline. It's a restoration that looks great and lasts. Your dentist ensures it fits well, so you'll barely realize it's there after your appointment. We can protect your tooth and help you love how it looks.

Discover Why e.max Stands Out

Some crown materials require compromises in either looks or strength. However, e.max offers both.

It's tougher than many other all-ceramic options. It also has a natural translucency that porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns can't match.

IPS e.max is biocompatible and gentle on your gums. It fits naturally with our mercury-free, tooth-colored approach to restoring teeth. That makes it a good choice if you want to avoid metal in your mouth.

Your crown also matches the surrounding teeth. We consider color, brightness, and the subtle translucency near the biting edge. This attention to detail matters most for front teeth, where every shade shows.

For back teeth, e.max offers a metal-free option that still withstands the pressure of daily chewing.

Protect Your Tooth for the Long Term With a Durable Crown

A crown may be the best option when a tooth has a large filling, a crack, or decay-related damage. It's also common after a root canal, when the tooth needs extra protection.

Your dentist gently shapes the tooth and captures its exact form. Your e.max crown is then crafted to match your bite and nearby teeth. Once bonded in place, your crown acts like a strong outer shell. With good brushing and regular visits, it can last many years.

If you grind at night, we may recommend a night guard. Regular checkups let us confirm that your crown and the tooth beneath it stay healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions About e.max Crowns

How long do e.max crowns last?

IPS e.max crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and keeping regular checkups all help. Avoiding habits like chewing ice or grinding your teeth also protects your crown from damage.

Are e.max crowns good for back teeth? 

Yes, e.max crowns can work well for back teeth in many cases. The material is strong enough for normal chewing forces. If you grind heavily or have a tight bite, your dentist may suggest a different material for certain molars.

Can e.max crowns stain?

You won't have to worry about staining with e.max crowns, as they resist staining much better than natural teeth. The polished ceramic surface doesn't absorb color from coffee, tea, or wine the way enamel can. Keep in mind that crowns don't respond to whitening, so whiten first if you plan to.

What are e.max crowns made of? 

Lithium disilicate, a strong glass-ceramic material, is used for e.max crowns. It's known for its natural translucency that mimics tooth enamel. Because it contains no metal, there's no gray line at the gumline. The material is also gentle on your gums and nearby teeth.

How much do e.max crowns cost? 

The cost of e.max crowns depends on the tooth, the work needed beforehand, and your insurance. They're often priced similarly to other high-quality ceramic crowns. Many insurance plans cover part of the cost of a crown when it's needed to protect a tooth. Ask for a clear estimate.
