What Are Zirconia Crowns?
Zirconia crowns are a dental restoration that are used when replacing missing teeth or to improve the appearance/function of exiting worn down teeth. They are often used in conjunction with Dental Implants (for stability), Dental Bridges or held in place with a dental bond/cement (over existing teeth).
Zirconia (Zirconium Oxide) is a type of strong ceramic material that can be used safely on Humans. Zirconia is a material that is regularly used in other medical aspects (e.g. artificial joints), because it offers high strength and durability.
Why Would You Need Zirconia Crowns?
There are many reasons why you may need to have a Zirconia Crown:
What Are The Benefits of Zirconia?
Zirconia Crowns have some clear benefits over other types:
Strength – Zirconia is a much stronger ceramic material than other crowns, and as a result lasts longer.
Aesthetics – These crowns are not just made with function in mind, but they are made to blend in with your natural smile for beautiful results!
Minimal tooth preparation – When using Zirconia Crowns there is minimal preparation to the tooth, meaning if for any reason the crown does need to be removed, the original tooth is preserved more.
