Zirconia Crowns - Natural Looking Dental Crowns
Nov 20, 2018| 
Cosmetic and restorative dentists give patients options for care that meets their needs, including whether your treatment will involve all-porcelain crowns for best aesthetic value, or metal-based restorations for strength and durability. But with advancements in materials, patients can choose treatment that is both beautiful and stands the test of time. We provide patients with the advantages of zirconia dental crowns.
Why Zirconia?
Zirconia is an exceptionally hard ceramic that has become popular in dental restorations, such as crowns. Zirconia is much stronger than standard all-porcelain or all-ceramic crowns, offering the durability of metal-based restorations, with better cosmetic appeal. Zirconia is less likely to chip or break, compared to other cosmetic restorations, making it ideal for long-term appearance and function.
The Benefits of Zirconia Dental Crowns
Beyond strength and durability, zirconia is also transparent in x-rays. If you have a zirconia dental crown, we can take routine exams and verify that the tooth structure under the crown is healthy and decay-free.
Zirconia crowns are also:
Biocompatible - Zirconia crowns are comfortable and will not irritate soft tissue on the inside of your mouth.
Life-Like - Unlike metal crowns, or other porcelain restorations, Zirconia more closely mimics the appearance of real teeth in the way that it allows light to pass through its surface.
Exquisitely Beautiful - Dental restorations that contain a metal base tend to age poorly and look less natural over time. But zirconia is a cosmetically appealing and luminescent ceramic that allows your smile to look flawlessly restored for years.
we are proud to offer patients zirconia dental crowns for comfortable and natural looking treatment that supports healthy, beautiful smiles.
We Provide Zirconia Crowns for Teeth-Grinders
Because they are so strong and highly resistant to wear and tear, zirconia crowns make the perfect cosmetic restoration for patients who are known to grind their teeth.
