E-Max Crown Turkey: Cost And Guarantee In Antalya & Istanbul
An E.max crown is a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic restoration made by Ivoclar. Its natural translucency makes it the preferred choice for front and visible teeth. The guide fee is £200 per crown at HCT in Antalya and Istanbul. The number of days in clinic is set in your written plan.

What Are E-Max Crowns? (The "Glass" Ceramic)
E-Max is not just a generic “porcelain.” It is a patented Lithium Disilicate Glass-Ceramic made by the Swiss company Ivoclar Vivadent. It is famous for one specific property: Translucency.
Unlike traditional crowns that can look opaque or dull, E-Max allows light to pass through it, just like your natural tooth enamel. This makes it virtually indistinguishable from a real tooth, making it the #1 choice for front teeth (the “Smile Zone”) in a Smile Makeover.
E-Max Vs Zirconia Crowns
Patients often ask us to choose between the two. The honest answer is: it depends on the location of the tooth.
| Feature | E-Max | Zirconia |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (Ivoclar) | Zirconia ceramic |
| Typical Position | Front teeth, visible teeth | Back teeth, long bridges |
| Look | High translucency, closest to natural enamel | Opaque-white, strong appearance |
| Strength | Strong; may chip under heavy grinding | Very high; withstands heavy chewing forces |
| Price Per Crown | £200 | £160 |
- Choose E-Max For: Front teeth (Incisors, Canines). Why? Unmatched aesthetics. It creates that “glass-like” natural shine.
- Choose Zirconia For: Back teeth (Molars) or long bridges. Why? Zirconia Crowns are incredibly strong and can withstand heavy chewing forces better than glass-ceramic.
The "Original Material" Guarantee
(Attributed to: Prof. Dr. MÜJDE SEVİMAY – Head Dentist & Prosthodontics Professor)
“A major fear for international patients is: ‘Is it real E-Max(Lithium disilicate)?’ Sadly, some unethical clinics use cheap generic ceramics(Dental porcelain) and call them ‘E-Max’. At HCT, we have a strict transparency protocol. We use only genuine Ivoclar Vivadent ingots imported from Europe. After your treatment, we present you with the Barcode Sticker and the Certificate of Authenticity for every single crown(Crown (dental restoration)) placed in your mouth. This is your proof of quality.”

Who Is A Candidate For E-Max?
E-Max crowns are the ideal solution if you have:
- Severely stained teeth that cannot be whitened.
- Fractured or chipped teeth (where a Veneer might be too weak).
- Teeth with large fillings or root canals (requiring protection).
- Mild misalignment (for an “Instant Orthodontic” effect).
However, if you have a heavy grinding habit (Bruxism), we might recommend Zirconia for durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
You leave with warranty documentation for the materials used and written aftercare instructions. The scope and length of cover are set out in your written treatment plan. A free post-treatment consultation remains available, and the team can be reached by video call or message for any post-care questions.
Lifespan depends on bite load, grinding habits, oral hygiene and the frequency of dental check-ups. Your dentist will explain what is realistic for your case at the consultation.
For front teeth, E-Max is usually preferred because its translucency more closely matches natural enamel. For back teeth, zirconia is the stronger choice as it withstands heavier chewing forces. Many patients have a combination of both across the full smile.
The number of days in clinic is set in your written plan after the consultation and scan. It depends on the number of teeth, any preparatory work needed, and the lab schedule.
A full E.max porcelain crown is £200. A full zirconia crown is £160. A full-mouth restoration of 20 crowns is £3,180. These figures match the full dental price list and are confirmed after a clinical assessment.
No. Like all ceramic restorations, E-Max crowns do not change colour with whitening gels. You must select your desired shade (e.g., BL1, B1) before they are made. If you want to whiten your natural teeth, do so before getting crowns.
Not necessarily. Crown suitability depends on the remaining tooth, bite, material and treatment plan. NHS and private options vary, so compare the material, preparation, fit, aftercare and written terms in the plans offered to you.
