Emax dental crowns may be used as a cover for broken or damaged teeth. An orthodontist takes a mold of the teeth and places a temporary dental crown in order to protect it until the permanent Emax crown is prepared. Then, a patient needs to wait up to 2-3 weeks and come for another visit, during which an Emax dental crown is installed. 
If an Emax crown is used for dental implants, orthodontic specialists usually start by removing the damaged teeth, which could not be saved by root canal treatment or other dental treatment. After that, a dental implant is installed in its place, together with a temporary dental crown.

Later on, the orthodontist prepares a final Emax crown. Then, when the dental crown is ready, the doctor performs the dental crown procedure by simply removing the temporary dental crown and replacing it with Emax dental crown. 

How is Emax Crown Procedure Performed? 

Doctors usually prefer to use local anesthesia during dental crown procedures. You may feel its effect for 1-2 hours after getting your Emax crown. Additionally, in the first days of your experience with Emax dental crowns, your tooth may be a little sensitive but do not worry, it is a perfectly normal experience. 

Emax Crown Abroad Side Effects and Risks 

Emax crowns risks and complications are rare but can include:

  • Infection in the treated tooth – it can happen if the Emax crown is not sealed properly or if all of the decayed parts of the tooth are not removed before placing the crown
  • Allergic reaction – patients can have allergic reactions to the materials or dental cement used
  • Increase in sensitivity – some patients may experience an increase in sensitivity of the treated tooth – special types of toothpaste can be used to decrease sensitivity
  • Nerve damage – the tooth’s nerve can be damaged during the preparation phase of the procedure – in this situation a root canal treatment may be needed, along with the removal of the tooth’s nerve

It’s important to note that under 2% of patients experience complications after opting for Emax crowns or other types of dental crowns. Temporary numbness and sensitivity are counted as the major side effects of Emax crowns as well as other types of dental crown procedures. 

Emax Dental Crowns Success Rate 

The average Emax crown satisfaction rate is around 97%, 5 years after the procedure.
