E-max Crowns
in Georgia
TO Dental Clinic, Tbilisi
E-max crowns are renowned for their exceptional aesthetics, making them one of the most popular choices for smile design treatments in Georgia. These crowns offer outstanding light transmittance and a completely natural, translucent appearance. E-max dental crowns are crafted using a specialized pressing technique, ensuring a precise fit and durability.
​
At TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi, we use E-max crowns to achieve a natural tooth-like appearance without the need for a metal or zirconium substructure. Their high resistance to fractures and strong chewing durability make them an excellent choice for long-term dental restorations. Additionally, our clinic offers E-max crowns at competitive prices, making high-quality dental care both accessible and affordable.
What is an
E-max Crown?
E-max is a type of advanced dental ceramic made from lithium disilicate, with some variations also containing zirconium dioxide. This composition provides a strength range between 360 and 1000 megapascals, making E-max crowns highly durable and versatile for different areas of the mouth.
Premium
E-max Crowns
at TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi
E-max crowns are an advanced version of Empress crowns, offering superior aesthetics and strength. At TO Dental Clinic, we successfully use E-max crowns for various treatments, including restorations in both the front and back teeth, dental bridges, and implant-supported crowns. Their durability, lifelike appearance, and biocompatibility make them a preferred choice for patients seeking long-lasting and natural-looking dental solutions.
Are E-max Crowns a Good Choice?
E-max crowns are an excellent option for dental restorations due to their superior aesthetics, strength, and minimal tooth reduction requirements. Since they are bonded using an adhesive technique, only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed, preserving the natural structure of the tooth. This method enhances the overall durability of the restoration, increasing its resistance up to 500 megapascals. To achieve the best bonding results, it is essential to stay within the enamel layer, ensuring a strong and long-lasting attachment.

What Are
Empress Veneers?
Empress veneers are made from leucite-reinforced glass ceramic, providing a resistance level of 160 megapascals. This material is highly durable and resistant to breakage, making it a great choice for inlay-onlay porcelain fillings and aesthetic restorations in the anterior region, including incisors and premolars.
​
However, due to its lower fracture resistance, Empress veneers are not recommended for bridges in the back teeth or for implant-supported crowns. Instead, they are best suited for enhancing the aesthetics of front teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.
In Which Treatments Do We Use E-max Crowns in Georgia?
At TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi, E-max crowns are a preferred solution for various dental treatments, especially for patients seeking high aesthetics and durability. We recommend E-max crowns in the following cases:
• Smile Makeover Treatments – Ideal for achieving a flawless, natural-looking smile.
• Discolored or Stained Teeth – Effective for covering teeth that are resistant to whitening.
• Broken or Cracked Teeth – Provides a strong and aesthetic restoration for teeth damaged due to trauma.
• Mildly Crooked Teeth – A great alternative to orthodontic treatment for minor misalignments.
• Laminate Veneers Treatments – Used as part of advanced cosmetic dental procedures.
• Gaps Between Teeth – Perfect for closing spaces between teeth (diastema closure).
• Teeth with Structural Loss Due to Root Canal Treatment – Restores both strength and appearance to teeth weakened by previous dental work.
How Are
E-max Crowns Made in Georgia?
At TO Dental Clinic, we follow a meticulous process to ensure perfectly fitted and aesthetically pleasing E-max crowns:
1. Digital Smile Design & Planning
• We begin by taking high-resolution images of the patient’s mouth and face.
• Our expert dentists perform aesthetic analyses on these images to design a smile that complements the patient’s facial features.
• Using digital simulations, we provide patients with a preview of their new smile before starting any procedure.
2. Taking Impressions
• We capture detailed impressions of the teeth, either using traditional techniques or advanced intraoral scanning technology.
• Digital scanning ensures higher accuracy and a faster treatment process, reducing the margin of error.
3. Tooth Preparation & Crown Fabrication
• A minimal amount of enamel is removed to create space for the E-max crowns.
• The prepared teeth impressions are sent to our state-of-the-art dental laboratory, where skilled technicians craft the crowns with high precision.
4. Final Placement
• Once the E-max crowns are ready, we bond them securely to the teeth, ensuring a strong, natural, and long-lasting result.
How Much Tooth Reduction is Needed for E-max Crowns?
E-max crowns (full veneers) require less enamel removal compared to zirconia crowns but slightly more than laminate veneers. This balance ensures both durability and a natural appearance while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
How Much Do E-max Crowns Cost in Georgia?
At TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi, the cost of E-max crowns starts from £185 per tooth. However, the final price may vary based on:
• The number of crowns needed
• The complexity of the case
• Any additional dental procedures required for optimal results

What Are the Advantages of E-max Crowns?
E-max crowns are one of the most advanced solutions in modern dentistry, offering both superior aesthetics and durability. Here’s why they are an excellent choice:
​
Closest match to natural teeth : E-max crowns have a high light transmittance, making them virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
No metal substructure : Unlike traditional crowns, E-max does not contain metal, allowing for a more natural appearance and reducing the need for extensive tooth reduction.
Minimally invasive : Requires less tooth preparation compared to other crown types, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
Individually designed for each patient : At TO Dental Clinic, every E-max crown is custom-made to fit seamlessly with the patient’s natural teeth.
Highly durable : Made from lithium disilicate ceramic, E-max crowns offer exceptional strength, making them long-lasting and resistant to fractures.
What Are E-max
Laminate Veneers?
E-max laminate veneers are a minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry solution designed to enhance the appearance of front teeth. In most cases, only a very small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth, and sometimes no abrasion is needed at all.
​
​
There are different materials used for laminate veneers, with E-max and composite being the most common. However, E-max veneers are the preferred choice because:
• They have exceptional light transmittance, making them look almost identical to natural teeth.
• They maintain their color and shine for years, while composite veneers may stain more quickly.
• They offer greater durability compared to composite materials.
At TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi, we use IPS E-max, the same high-quality material used in E-max crowns, to ensure a natural, long-lasting smile makeover.
Differences Between
Laminate Veneers and E-max Crowns
Although E-max laminate veneers and E-max crowns are made from the same high-quality ceramic material, they differ in application and coverage:
• Laminate veneers are ultra-thin shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth, similar to false nails. The back of the tooth remains untouched, preserving more of the natural structure.
• E-max crowns cover the entire tooth, providing better adhesion and protection, especially for teeth that need structural reinforcement.
• Laminate veneers feel more natural for the patient since the tongue still touches the original tooth surface, ensuring normal speech and comfort.
When Do We Prefer E-max Crowns Over Laminate Veneers?
While laminate veneers are an excellent cosmetic solution, E-max crowns may be the better option in certain cases, including:
​
Teeth with multiple fillings or structural damage
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
Patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) or nail biting habits, as these can damage thin veneer
At TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi, our dental experts evaluate each case individually to determine the best option for long-lasting and natural-looking results.
What Is the Difference Between
E-max and Zirconia Crowns?
E-max and zirconia crowns are made from different materials and serve different purposes in dentistry.
• E-max Crowns are made from lithium disilicate, a type of glass-ceramic known for its superior aesthetics and natural translucency. They do not require an additional substructure and involve minimal tooth reduction, making them a top choice for front teeth and cosmetic treatments.
• Zirconia Crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a highly durable and strong material. While they are sometimes used as full crowns, zirconia is often used as an underlying framework for added strength, especially in the back teeth where chewing pressure is higher.
Is Zirconia Stronger Than E-max?
Yes, zirconia crowns are stronger and more resistant to breakage than E-max crowns. However, E-max crowns offer superior aesthetics and a more natural tooth-like appearance.
• Zirconia crowns are ideal for back teeth (molars) due to their higher strength and durability.
• E-max crowns are the preferred choice for front teeth (incisors and canines) because of their lifelike translucency and superior aesthetics.
• Bridge Restorations: Zirconia is typically used for longer bridges, while E-max can support smaller bridges of up to three units, including the second molar as the final support.
Which One Should You Choose?
At TO Dental Clinic in Georgia, our specialists assess each patient’s needs before recommending a treatment.
​
Choose E-max Crowns if you prioritize aesthetics and a natural-looking smile.
Choose Zirconia Crowns if you need maximum strength and durability, especially for back teeth or bridge restorations.
How Long Does E-max Crown Treatment Take in Georgia?
At TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi, the entire E-max crown treatment process, including consultation, preparation, and final placement, typically takes 3 to 7 days. This timeframe applies to patients with healthy teeth and gums or those who have undergone necessary pre-treatments before the procedure.
How Long Do
E-max Crowns Last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, E-max crowns can last 10-15 years or more. The material’s smooth and non-porous surface prevents plaque buildup, making it highly protective for both teeth and gums.
Can Teeth Under
E-max Crowns Decay?
When E-max crowns are properly placed and fitted, the risk of decay under the crown is extremely low. The key to preventing decay is:
​
Precise bonding of the crown to the natural tooth.
Maintaining good oral hygiene to prevent bacteria buildup around the edges of the crown.
Regular dental check-ups to ensure the crown remains in perfect condition.
Are E-max Crowns Prone to Breaking?
E-max crowns are highly durable, but like natural teeth, they can break or chip due to trauma, such as:
​
• Accidental falls or strong impacts.
• Biting down on extremely hard objects.
• Teeth grinding (bruxism) without wearing a protective night guard.
​
Taking proper care of your E-max crowns, just like your natural teeth, helps extend their lifespan and maintain their strength.
How to Take Care of E-max Crowns?
Maintaining E-max crowns is no different from caring for natural teeth. Follow these steps to ensure their longevity:
Brush at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Floss daily to prevent plaque buildup around the crown edges.
Use an antibacterial mouthwash if recommended by your dentist.
Avoid biting on hard objects like ice, nuts, or pens.
Visit your dentist every 6 months for professional cleanings and check-ups.
At TO Dental Clinic in Tbilisi, we provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to ensure your E-max crowns stay in perfect condition for years.
