Zirconium Crowns
Zirconium Crowns
Zirconium crowns, also known as zirconia crowns, represent a state-of-the-art dental restoration option for enhancing the appearance and function of teeth. These crowns are crafted from high-quality zirconium oxide material, known for its strength, durability, and natural aesthetic properties. Zirconium crowns are a popular choice for restoring damaged, discolored, or misshapen teeth.
Benefits of Zirconium Crowns:
- Exceptional durability and strength, resistant to chipping and cracking.
- Highly aesthetic with a natural appearance and translucent quality.
- Biocompatible material that reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
- Minimal tooth reduction during preparation, preserving more natural tooth structure.
- Long-lasting solution that can endure daily wear and tear.
Post-Crown Care:
- Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.
- Attend scheduled dental check-ups to monitor the condition of the zirconium crown and overall oral health.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects or habits like teeth grinding to prolong the lifespan of the crown.
Procedure Description:
Initial Assessment:
Our dental specialist assesses the patient's dental condition, including the tooth that requires a crown, to determine the suitability of a zirconium crown.
Tooth Preparation:
A minimal amount of the natural tooth's structure is removed to create space for the zirconium crown. Impressions are taken for precise crown fabrication.
Zirconium Crown Fabrication:
The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where skilled technicians craft the zirconium crown to match the patient's natural tooth color and shape.
Temporary Crown:
While awaiting the custom zirconium crown, a temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it.
Crown Placement:
Once the zirconium crown is ready, it is carefully fitted and bonded to the prepared tooth using dental adhesive.
Final Adjustments
Our dentist ensures that the zirconium crown fits comfortably, allowing for proper bite alignment and function.
