  3. Great explanation! Emax crowns are a top choice for a natural look and feel, especially for front teeth, due to their superior light diffusion and realistic appearance. While zirconia is durable, Emax offers a better aesthetic result. Thanks for clarifying why your dentist might recommend Emax over zirconia!
