E-max Crowns in Tijuana

What are E-max crowns?

E-max is the brand name for a crown made from lithium disilicate — a high-strength glass ceramic material developed by Ivoclar Vivadent, one of the leading dental material manufacturers in the world. It combines two properties that are rarely found together in a single material: exceptional strength and exceptional aesthetics.

The defining characteristic of E-max is its translucency. Natural teeth are not opaque — light passes through enamel and reflects off the inner dentin layer, creating a depth and vitality that older ceramic materials could not replicate. E-max glass ceramic transmits light in a way that closely mimics this natural behavior, making it the preferred choice for cases where blending with surrounding teeth is the primary goal.

E-max vs zirconia — which is right for you?

Lifespan 15–20 years 20+ years 10–15 years

Who is a good candidate for E-max crowns?

E-max is the preferred choice for:
Front teeth restorations — incisors, laterals, canines — where blending with natural teeth is the priority
Patients without bruxism (teeth grinding) or with a night guard to protect the restoration
Patients replacing old PFM crowns on front teeth who want to eliminate the dark gum margin
Patients who have had veneers and need a crown with comparable aesthetics
E-max is generally not recommended for:
Patients with severe bruxism without a night guard

Back molars under very heavy bite forces — monolithic zirconia is preferred in these cases

Short clinical crowns with very limited preparation space — zirconia handles thin sections better

Not sure if you qualify? Our team evaluates every case individually. Most patients who think they are not candidates turn out to be good candidates after a proper evaluation.
