Advantages of zirconium dental prosthesis

Zirconium dental prosthesis can restore the occlusal, aesthetic and biological function with 100% natural looking teeth.

Many materials have been used to create dental prosthesis but none of them has the proprieties of zirconium oxide, a substance that has all the features and qualities that a dentist would expect from prosthesis. This ceramic material is the best option to get aesthetic prosthesis that fit perfectly with your mouth because of its biocompatibility and its aesthetics. This prosthesis are designed and manufactured with the CAD-CAM system in order to get perfect restorations that give back the functionality and a beautiful and natural appearance to your smile.

The zirconium crowns for dental implants and natural teeth that we use in Propdental dental clinics are computer designed and fabricated using the CAD-CAM technology to obtain personalized aesthetic prosthesis that fit perfectly in your mouth. Zirconium has many characteristics that made for it the best prosthesis material that dentist can use in aesthetic dentistry. These are some of the advantages from zirconium in front of other materials used for dental prosthesis in the past:

• It avoids the metal allergy because zirconium prosthesis are metal free.

• It doesn’t have any taste as metal does.

• It is not a heat conductor, so it helps to reduce the hypersensitivity of your natural teeth.

• Its frame is stronger in comparison to other dental materials.

• Its transparency features are excellent and it is tooth-colored.

• It can avoid dark gingival contour that other materials caused.

• It is a very manageable material that obtains perfect prosthesis.

• Thank to the computer technology we can design and fabricate precise and accurate dental prosthesis that can last forever.

• It is available either for implants or natural teeth restorations.

How does the preparation of zirconium dental prosthesis work?

Zirconium advantages wouldn’t be possible without the use of computer technology to design and fabricate the prosthesis. The process always start with the fabrication of a denture mould that is digitized with a high-precison laser to gather all the anatomical information. Once we have the information on our computer, where we can see 3D images of the teeth, the dental technician designs the crowns or bridges that the patient needs.

After that it started the fabrication stage, where a computer-controlled drilling machine carves the frame (CAM system), and the result gains hardness in the sintering oven. Then our dentists check the piece and prepare the appropriate form from porcelain. Finally the prosthesis is installed to the dental implant or the natural teeth.

None other materials are as good as zirconium to get perfect functional and aesthetic dental restorations. Thank to zirconium and the knowledge of our dentist you can get a perfect smile in a short time.
