What is an Emax ceramic crown?

An Emax ceramic crown in Hungary is a very versatile type of dental restoration, used in both cosmetic and restorative dentistry. We help many people every year with dental crowns in Budapest because our crowns are of very high quality and less expensive than in many other countries.

A dental crown is used to replicate the part of a natural tooth above the gum line and can be used to encase a damaged, decayed or heavily filled tooth to give it strength, function and a better appearance. It can also be used to restore a missing tooth when a dental implant is placed.

The type of dental crown you will receive abroad in Budapest, Hungary, will be comparable to private treatment in Europe, but at a much lower cost.

In Hungary, a standard crown provided by an experienced and competent dentist will cost around €200 or less, compared with €800 to €1000 for a private dentist in Europe. The quality of crowns provided by NHS dentists cannot generally be compared to what you would receive if you paid privately.

Dental crowns made to perfection

When dental crowns are joined together to form a multiple restoration, this is known as a bridge. Hundreds of thousands of crowns are produced every year by Hungarian dentists and dental technicians for patients who come to Hungary for low-cost treatment.

To achieve the perfect crown, the dentist needs to have a good relationship with a professional dental technician in order to produce a high quality crown of the right size, shape and colour, giving optimum appearance and function. Dental clinics in Hungary have their own dental prosthesis laboratory to ensure the best possible results.

Temporary crowns

Most patients have to deal with temporary crowns at one time or another. If you go to Hungary just for crowns or bridges, you will probably have temporary teeth at very short notice, as there will only be four or five days between the initial preparation and the final fitting. In fact, only four to five days will elapse between the initial preparation and the final fitting. Shortly after preparation, your dentist or dental technician will make temporary teeth for you in the very short term so that you can eat more comfortably and feel good about yourself.

If you have dental implants and must wait 3 to 6 months before receiving your new permanent crowns, the dental technician will make very high-quality temporary crowns, designed to look good and function without breaking. They take a little longer to make and cost a little more, but they’re worth it and will serve you until your permanent crowns are made.

Permanent crowns

Patients visiting Budapest, Hungary, should expect only the highest quality crowns.

Typically, crowns made for the dental traveller are full shell porcelain crowns fused to a metal or ceramic structure. This means that the front, sides and back of the crown will be porcelain, with no black lines around the gum lines. Expect the crown to be the right size, shape and colour, professionally crafted for a natural look and excellent longevity.

Materials

Although there are many different materials used by dental technicians to make crowns, we will concentrate on the two main types:

Porcelain fused to metal – This is the most widely used material in the world. A porcelain dental crown is manufactured and fused to metal before being cemented onto your natural tooth or dental implant. If the porcelain is not fused to a metal structure, the porcelain will be too fragile and will break. The metal structure inside the crown gives it its strength. There are several different materials that can be used for the crown structure, including nickel-free metal, titanium, gold and gold alloys.

Zirconium dental crowns and bridges

Zirconium-fused porcelain – This is a relatively new material in which porcelain is fused to zirconium rather than metal. The advantage of zirconium is that it contains no metal and is white in colour, unlike metal. Zirconium is more expensive, but is used when the best possible finish is required.

There should be no difference between the quality of the two materials and the dentist should continue to carry out all the preparation and fitting to the same quality standards. The technician will continue to use the best quality materials and manufacture them to a high standard.

Most patients opt for porcelain fused to metal when choosing crowns, as they are incredibly beautiful and suitable for all budgets. Zirconium is popular but the type of patient who chooses this material is prepared to pay a lot more for better aesthetics.
