Frequently Asked Questions
Zirconia or E-max, which is better?
Zirconia is stronger and ideal for back teeth or heavy chewing. E-max offers superior translucency and aesthetics, making it perfect for front teeth.
How long does a crown last?
With proper oral hygiene, modern zirconia and E-max crowns last 15-20 years. Regular check-ups prevent complications.
Will the crown match my other teeth?
Yes. Our ceramists use advanced shade-matching technology and hand-layer porcelain to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.
Is a root canal always needed before a crown?
Not always. Root canals are only required if the tooth pulp is infected or severely damaged. Many crowns are placed on vital teeth.
How do I care for my crown?
Brush twice daily, floss carefully around the gum line, and avoid biting very hard objects (ice, pen caps). Regular professional cleanings are essential.
Can I eat normally right after?
Yes. Unlike traditional crowns requiring cement to set, modern dental adhesives allow normal eating within 1 hour.
