E.max crown
From £800
Best for
A weakened, broken or root-treated tooth needing full coverage.
Considerations
Protects the remaining structure but requires full-coverage preparation.
Compare options
Should I choose an E.max crown or a ceramic veneer?
An E.max crown covers the whole tooth and is used where it needs structural protection; a ceramic veneer covers only the visible front and is more conservative when the tooth is strong and the concern is cosmetic. Neither is chosen without assessing enamel, bite and tooth strength.
The short answer
An E.max crown covers the whole tooth and is used where it needs structural protection; a ceramic veneer covers only the visible front and is more conservative when the tooth is strong and the concern is cosmetic. Neither is chosen without assessing enamel, bite and tooth strength.
