Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium Crowns - Strength, Durability and Aesthetics
Zirconium Crowns are the pinnacle of dental technology, offering strength, durability and aesthetics that traditional ceramic crowns simply could not match.
Biocompatible materials allow them to easily blend with the body without causing toxic reactions. For over four decades, this material has been utilized in ear, finger and hip prostheses.

Strength
Zirconia is an incredibly strong crystal, making it the ideal material for crowns. Not only that, but its resistance to wear and tear make it the ideal choice for those seeking something both durable and long-lasting.
Another advantage of zirconia is its customizability; it can be shaped, sized and colored to perfectly match your teeth. This allows your dentist to craft the crown that perfectly complements both you and your smile.
Your crown will look more aesthetically pleasing than other types of crowns, and it makes it simpler to craft one that fits over your teeth correctly without needing the removal of too much tooth structure.

Durability
Zirconium Crowns are among the toughest dental restorations available, boasting five times harder durability than porcelain and virtually invulnerability to damage.
These make them an ideal solution for restoring back teeth, which typically take the most force when chewing. Furthermore, ceramic crowns resist heat and cold better than other types of crowns, potentially decreasing the risk of hypersensitivity in teeth.
Zirconia crowns are known for their superior durability and can last up to 15 years with proper care and upkeep. Furthermore, these crowns tend to stain less than porcelain does.

Aesthetics
Zirconium Crowns are one of the newest advances in aesthetic dental restoration. Dentists are increasingly using them to strengthen a cracked or broken tooth, cover up severely stained teeth or restore dental implants.
A white solid ceramic glaze provides the benefits of metal strength with porcelain's toothlike appearance, making them much more durable than their porcelain-fused-to-metal counterparts.
Zirconia, unlike porcelain, is metal-free and resistant to irritation or rejection from surrounding tissues. Furthermore, it comes in various shades so you can match the color of your natural teeth for a perfect match.
When selecting zirconia for anterior teeth, dentists have three main types to choose from: high translucent, solid and layered. Typically, dentists opt for solid full-contour zirconia on anterior teeth while layered zirconia is employed when creating posterior crowns.

Comfort
Zirconium Crowns are an excellent solution for teeth that require greater strength. This material offers five times more durability than porcelain or metal-based crowns.
Zirconia is an extremely biocompatible material that does not cause irritation to surrounding tissue, making it ideal for patients with metal allergies or those who prefer restorations that do not contain metal.
Zirconia's translucency is a great asset in aesthetic dentistry, as it prevents darkening around the gum line. This differs from metal-fused-to-porcelain crowns which often have an unseen metallic lining at the gumline when patients smile.
