What is E-Max Crown?
The E-Max crown is a premium all-ceramic restoration made from lithium disilicate, one of the strongest and most aesthetic dental ceramics available today. Unlike metal-fused porcelain, E-Max is completely metal-free, allowing light to pass through the crown just like a natural tooth. At MedProper Istanbul, E-Max crowns are digitally designed and milled for precision fit and lifelike translucency.
How Does E-Max Crown Work?
- 1A detailed digital scan of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth is taken to plan the crown digitally.
- 2The tooth is minimally reshaped to accommodate the E-Max shell while preserving maximum healthy enamel.
- 3A temporary crown protects the tooth while the E-Max restoration is CAD/CAM milled and hand-finished in the laboratory.
- 4At the fitting visit the crown is tried in, checked for shade match and bite harmony, then bonded with resin cement for maximum strength.
- 5Final polishing and micro-adjustments deliver a flawless, natural result.
Who is a Good Candidate for E-Max Crown?
- Patients who want the most natural-looking crown, especially on front teeth
- Individuals with metal allergies or sensitivities who need a biocompatible restoration
- Those replacing old metal-fused crowns that show a dark line at the gum
- Patients seeking a strong yet aesthetic solution for both anterior and premolar teeth
Why Choose E-Max Crown at MedProper?
Superior Aesthetics
Lithium disilicate mimics the light transmission of real enamel, making E-Max crowns virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Metal-Free Biocompatibility
No metal substructure means zero risk of grey gum-line discolouration and excellent tissue compatibility.
High Strength
E-Max offers flexural strength of approximately 400 MPa, suitable for both front and back teeth.
Istanbul Price Advantage
At EUR 260 per tooth, MedProper offers E-Max crowns at a fraction of Western European costs without compromising on materials or technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
E-Max is a monolithic lithium-disilicate ceramic with no metal core. This gives it superior translucency and eliminates the dark gum-line that metal-fused crowns can develop over time.
Yes. With a flexural strength of around 400 MPa, E-Max is suitable for premolars and in many cases molars. For very heavy grinders, your dentist may recommend zirconia for the furthest-back molars.
Full-mouth E-Max restorations (up to 20+ crowns) are commonly completed in a single Istanbul visit of 7-10 days. MedProper plans your appointments so lab work and fittings run seamlessly.
E-Max ceramic is highly stain-resistant. Unlike composite materials, it maintains its colour and polish for years without discolouration from coffee, tea, or red wine.
It covers clinical preparation, digital scanning, temporary restoration, laboratory fabrication using genuine IPS E-Max material, and final bonding. MedProper all-inclusive packages add hotel, transfers, and patient coordination.
