In order to apply the eMax veneers procedure to the patient, the doctor must recognize some findings in the preliminary examination. If the teeth are not on top of each other, if the teeth are not overlapping each other, and if there are no gaps that cannot be filled between the teeth when they are lined up, the patient is ready for the eMax procedure.
Most cosmetic dentists also check that the gums are suitable for the use of eMax. Since the teeth bonded to the front face in the dental veneer category come into contact with the gums during the application phase, eMax may damage the gums in cases where the gums are damaged. For this reason, physicians complete gum treatments before applying eMax veneers to avoid bleeding and loss of eMax materials after application.
This is where the misconception that eMax veneers treatment is not applied to elderly patients comes from. Application of eMax veneers has nothing to do with age. However, such an incorrect assessment is made because patients whose gums are damaged or prone to irritation are generally elderly patients. Any patient whose gums are healthy and sufficient for the eMax procedure can have eMax veneers.
Since eMax has a translucent material structure, it is a material that is difficult to process in metallurgical terms. This makes eMax teeth a more expensive material than zirconium teeth.
When eMax teeth are also evaluated in terms of application during treatment, they require a more experienced physician compared to zirconium teeth.
When Are E-max Crowns Preferred?
Depending on the condition of the teeth, the treatment is decided by the specialist dentist. Mostly dentist decide it when teeth have harmony.
1. For a Healthy Mouth and Teeth Structure: E-max can be applied in single-tooth front side, restoring molars, repairing implant teeth, treating crooked teeth, and building dental bridges. It is widely used in patients who do not want to use removable prostheses and who have adequate abutment teeth.
2. For an Aesthetic Smile: Transparent zirconium is preferred to prevent a solid, soulless, white appearance on the teeth. This way, patients achieve a natural tooth appearance.
Recessions may occur in the gums due to aging or different factors. Thanks to their compatibility with gums, zirconium crowns do not pose health or aesthetic problems in future years. The darkening of the gum that occurs in metal-supported crowns is not the case for zirconium crowns.
Since E-max does not contain metals, it does not cause bad odor in the mouth or affect sense of taste. It is a tissue-friendly substance and does not cause allergies. With its insulation properties, zirconium minimizes problems in the consumption of hot and cold foods.
