What are Ceramic and Zirconium Crowns?
Sep 11, 2019| 
Ceramic and zirconia crowns are the most preferred alternatives to silver, gold and porcelain materials for crown & bridge treatment for today's modern day dentistry. These crowns are made from types of porcelain for a whiter and more natural look.
Cosmetic dentistry has made significant strides especially in excellent aesthetics and strength.
Here are some of the advantages that ceramic crowns offer over other materials:
-
Ceramic crowns are natural-looking, closely mimicking the look of actual teeth. These crowns allow light to pass through them easily, much like your normal teeth.
-
Using ceramic crowns for dental crown treatment allows us to customise the size, shape and colour of the crowns to match your needs.
-
Ceramic crowns are known for their exceptional strength and ability to resist any wear, tear, fractures, chipping or breaking. Whether they are for the front or back teeth, ceramic crowns are sturdy enough to support all oral functions with ease.
-
These crowns are very durable and are easy to maintain.
-
As there is no metal, ceramic crowns do not cause corrosion and a blackened gum line.
-
They are bio-compatible. They are safe to use for human bodies and do not cause any allergic reactions.
-
They do not require any metal frame or base, which makes them even more aesthetically pleasing.
-
The thermal conductivity of ceramic crowns is low. They are much less sensitive to the hot/cold temperature changes that can occur in your mouth, a problem that is common with other crown materials. You can eat all your favorite hot and cold things without flinching!
The best thing about ceramic and zirconia zirconium crowns is the way they combine beauty with functionality. Not only are they attractive-looking, but they also excel when it comes to durability and robustness. They are an excellent choice for a beautiful smile and a strong set of teeth.
