Imagine having a dental crown placed in just one visit to your dentist—no messy impressions, no waiting weeks for a lab to create your crown, and no temporary crowns. With CEREC technology, same-day crowns made from e.max material offer a convenient, efficient, and high-quality solution to restore your smile.

What is e.max?

E.max is a state-of-the-art ceramic material known for its incredible strength, natural appearance, and durability. Unlike traditional metal-based crowns, e.max is made from lithium disilicate, a type of ceramic that mimics the look and feel of real teeth. This material is not only strong but also resistant to chipping, making it a fantastic choice for dental restorations in areas where both aesthetics and durability matter, such as front or back teeth.

Who is a good candidate for an e.max same-day crown?

If you have a tooth that’s broken, decayed, or worn down, or if you’ve had a root canal and need a crown to protect the tooth, you might be a great candidate for an e.max crown. These crowns are particularly ideal for patients who value convenience, as CEREC technology allows the dentist to design, mill, and place the crown all in one visit.

Whether you’re fixing a damaged tooth or improving the appearance of your smile, e.max crowns can provide a natural, long-lasting solution. Plus, they’re an excellent option for people who want to avoid the hassle of multiple dental visits or the discomfort of wearing a temporary crown.

How does the CEREC process work?

With CEREC technology, your dentist uses advanced 3D imaging to create a digital scan of your tooth, eliminating the need for traditional impressions. Then, using computer-aided design (CAD), your dentist customizes your crown to fit your tooth perfectly. A high-tech milling machine sculpts the e.max material into the exact shape of your crown right in the dental office. Within minutes, your crown is ready to be bonded securely to your tooth.

With CEREC and e.max, you can walk out of the office with a beautiful, durable crown that restores your smile—all in a single appointment!
