Emax Crowns in Turkey: High-Quality Aesthetic Dental Restorations
Emax crowns are premium dental restorations made from lithium disilicate, a high-end glass-ceramic material known for its exceptional strength, durability, and lifelike translucency. This material is processed through controlled crystallisation, which enhances its mechanical properties without compromising its beauty.
Unlike traditional crowns, Emax crowns are entirely metal-free. This eliminates the risk of allergic reactions and ensures a seamless, natural look that blends perfectly with your existing teeth.
The Advantages of Emax Crowns
Emax is often the preferred choice for cosmetic dentistry, particularly for the front teeth, due to several key factors:
- Natural Aesthetics: The lifelike translucency of lithium disilicate replicates natural tooth enamel, making the crowns indistinguishable from your real teeth.
- Minimal Preparation: Emax requires less tooth reduction compared to other crown types. Typically, only 0.5–1.5 mm of enamel needs to be reshaped.
- High Durability: With a flexural strength of over 400 MPa, these crowns are highly resistant to chipping and fractures, even during daily activities like chewing.
- Biocompatibility: The ceramic material is non-toxic and hypoallergenic, integrating smoothly with your gum tissue to reduce the risk of irritation.
Cost Comparison: Emax Crowns in the UK vs Turkey
Choosing Turkey for your Emax restorations allows you to access premium materials and advanced technology at a significantly lower price point than in the UK.
Average Cost per Crown:
- UK Private Dentist: £700 – £1,200
- Turkey Average Price: £200 – £300
- Potential Saving: Up to 75%
For a full smile makeover (e.g., 20 units), patients in the UK could expect to pay between £14,000 and £24,000. In Turkey, a similar high-end transformation typically costs significantly less, often including additional support services for international patients.
The Emax Crown Procedure at Dental Harmony Turkey
We utilise advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Manufacturing) technology to ensure every crown is custom-fitted with digital precision.
1) Initial Consultation and Planning
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive examination using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras. We assess your oral health and discuss your aesthetic preferences, including the ideal shade and shape for your new smile.
2) Tooth Preparation and Digital Impressions
The dentist removes any decay and reshapes the tooth to create a stable base. Using CAD/CAM technology, we take digital impressions. This ensures an exact fit that considers your bite alignment (occlusion) for maximum comfort.
3) Fabrication and Bonding
Once the crown is fabricated to your specific measurements, we test the fit and colour. The final step is bonding the crown using a high-strength dental adhesive, creating a secure attachment that functions just like a natural tooth.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
Maintaining your Emax crowns is simple but essential for long-term success.
- Short-Term Adaptation: You may feel mild sensitivity for the first 24–48 hours. We recommend sticking to soft foods and avoiding extreme temperatures during this period.
- Long-Term Maintenance: Emax crowns should be cared for with regular brushing and flossing. Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent plaque buildup around the edges of the crown.
- Protection: To prevent damage, avoid biting down on exceptionally hard items like ice or nuts, and maintain regular check-ups with your dentist.

E.max Crown Aftercare: Preserving Your Full-Coverage Restoration
At Dental Harmony Turkey, we utilise IPS e.max crowns for their incredible strength and lifelike translucency. Unlike a veneer, a crown protects the entire surface of the tooth. To ensure your restoration remains secure and your underlying tooth stays healthy, it is vital to follow this specialist aftercare guide once you return to the UK.
The Adaptation Phase: The First 48 Hours
Your gums and the nerves of your teeth need a short window to adapt to the new restoration.
- Soft Food Protocol: For the first two days, stick to softer foods. Avoid anything excessively chewy or sticky (like toffee or gummy sweets) that could put undue pressure on the crown while the cement is reaching its final set.
- Sensitivity Management: It is perfectly normal to feel some sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures or a slight “tightness” in the gums. This is temporary and can be managed with standard over-the-counter relievers.
- The Bite Check: Your crown has been precision-engineered for your bite. However, if your bite feels “high” or uneven after the local anaesthetic has fully worn off, please contact us via WhatsApp immediately for guidance.
Long-Term Hygiene: Protecting the Margin
While the IPS e.max material cannot decay, the natural tooth structure underneath it can. The “margin”—where the crown meets your gum—is the most important area to keep clean.
- Meticulous Brushing: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Pay close attention to the gum line to prevent plaque build-up, which can lead to gum recession.
- Advanced Flossing: You must floss daily. When flossing around a crown, avoid “snapping” the floss upwards; instead, slide it out sideways to ensure you don’t catch the edge of the restoration.
- Alcohol-Free Care: Use an alcohol-free fluoride mouthwash. Alcohol-based products can, over time, affect the integrity of the bonding agents used to secure the crown.
Functional Protection and Longevity
E.max is a high-performance glass-ceramic, but like natural enamel, it can be damaged by extreme force:
- Avoid Hard Impacts: Do not chew on ice, pens, or fingernails. Be cautious with hard nuts or fruit stones.
- Nightguard Essentials: If you are a “grinder” (bruxism), wearing your custom-made nightguard provided by our clinic is mandatory. This prevents the porcelain from chipping and protects the bond from nocturnal pressure.
- The “Naturally Beautiful” Maintenance: Regular professional cleanings are essential. Ensure your UK hygienist knows you have E.max crowns so they can use the appropriate non-abrasive polishing pastes.
