Remove existing zirconia crown with EMAX crown (photo)

April 4, 2015
Asked By:Princess Pri in India, IN

A month & a half ago, I had my front tooth capped with a zirconia crown. I am not very happy with the colour of my zirconia tooth. In natural light it looks yellow & it looks unnatural. Can I get it removed & replace it with a better match of emax crown? I've heard emax is better than zirconia.

Can a crowned tooth over-erupt / hyper-erupt? (photos)
Scott Young, DDS says:

You can have a tooth supra erupt if it does not have an opposing tooth hitting it properly.  I would make the correction with Invisalign, then have a retainer made for nightly wear to hold that tooth in the correct position. Good luck.

Brandon G. Katz, DDS says:

When it comes to the crown lengthening procedure the advantages of the laser do include less pain and quicker healing.  The disadvantage of having the procedure performed by laser is that if the bone level needs to be altered, visualization of the osseous contours is compromised.
