All-Ceramic Zirconia & E.max Crowns

When a tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or weakened following root canal therapy, an All-Ceramic Crown provides the ultimate structural protection and natural aesthetic restoration. At Lime Tree Dental Hospital, we utilize 100% metal-free, biocompatible materials—primarily ultra-strong solid zirconia and luminous lithium disilicate (E.max).

Manufactured entirely in our on-site digital CAD/CAM laboratory, our crowns provide sub-30 micron margin fidelity, preventing recurrent bacterial infiltration and dark metal margins at the gumline.

Why Choose All-Ceramic Over Metal-Fused Crowns (PFM)?

• Zero Dark Metal Margins: Traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns frequently show an unsightly black metal rim as gums naturally recede. All-ceramic crowns remain translucent and lifelike forever.
• Superior Biocompatibility: 100% free of nickel, chrome, or non-precious alloys that trigger allergies or tissue irritation.
• Extreme Strength (1,200+ MPa): Solid multi-layered zirconia resists the strongest nocturnal clenching and posterior masticatory forces without chipping.
• Same-Day Restorative Capability: In select single-tooth situations, our on-site milling machinery enables tooth preparation, digital scanning, milling, and placement in a single appointment.
