Remove existing zirconia crown with EMAX crown (photo)

Question

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.

Neville Richter, DDS · Answer

I don't get why dentists feel that zirconia is appropriate in the anterior sextant. Zirconia is notorious for poor chroma and value, both of which are very very important

If you are not happy with your existing crowns, You can go for EMAX crowns. Yes, EMAX crowns give more esthetic looks and that's why it's ideal for front teeth.

Dantenapalli VijayVardhan, OMFS · Answer

You are right. The light passing properties of emax crowns are much higher than zerkonia crowns. So emax crowns are advised for front teeth.
