ZIRCONIA CROWN CHARACTERISTICS

Zirconia ceramic crowns are made with zirconium dioxide, an exceptionally strong material used in aerospace technology that is often referred to as ceramic steel. These metal-free crowns produce natural-looking results. 

ZIRCONIA CROWN CHARACTERISTICS

Zirconia can be overlaid with porcelain for lifelike results

Exceptional strength resists fractures and breaks

Long-term reliability and strength for back teeth and dental bridges—restorations for which porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are commonly used

Virtually no risk of allergic reaction

Insulate teeth and limit sensitivity to cold and heat

Metal-free and won’t develop a dark line at your gumline

Color, translucency, and shade similar to natural teeth

Aesthetics can be enhanced by baking porcelain onto the surface; the crowns will mimic the look of your natural teeth.

WHAT’S THE PROCESS?

Your damaged tooth will be reshaped to ensure the zirconia crown will fully cover and protect it.

We’ll take digital impressions of your teeth to craft a precisely fitting crown.

Our in-house ceramist will make a customized crown for you. Meanwhile, you’ll wear a temporary crown.

When your zirconia crown is ready, we will remove the temporary one and clean your natural tooth.

Your new crown will be placed over your tooth and checked for color and fit.

If your zirconia crown looks and feels great, it will be bonded to your natural tooth.

HOW TO CARE FOR ZIRCONIA CROWNS

Daily floss around crowns and brush them, just as you care for your natural teeth.

Keep your regularly scheduled appointments for dental cleanings and exams.
