What are zirconia crowns?
Zirconia crowns are a type of dental crowns that are made of zirconium oxide, an extremely strong and durable material. In addition to its strength, zirconium oxide also has an exceptional ability to mimic natural teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Advantages of zirconia crowns:
- Natural appearance: Zirconia crowns provide an extremely natural look due to their transparency and colour.
- Endurance: Zirconium oxide is a material known for its strength, durability and resistance to breakage. These crowns provide a long-term solution for restoring damaged or missing teeth.
- Biocompatibility: Zirconium oxide is a biocompatible material, which means that it integrates well with the tissue in the mouth, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
- Metalless bases: Unlike traditional metal-based crowns, zirconia crowns are completely metal-free, eliminating the risk of dark lines along the edges of the crowns.
Placement procedure for zirconia crown:
- Consultation: The first step is a consultation with a dentist. You will discuss your goals, and the dentist will examine your oral health.
- Tooth preparation: If necessary, the dentist will prepare the tooth for the placement of the crown, removing damage or old material.
- Imprint recording: Precise imprints are taken of the teeth, from which completely customised zirconia crowns are made.
- Temporary crown: During the time between taking the imprints and placing the permanent crowns, a temporary crown can be placed to maintain normal function and aesthetics.
- Placement of crowns: After the zirconia crowns are made, they are carefully placed and adjusted to achieve the perfect look and bite.
Maintenance of Zirconia Crowns:
Maintenance of zirconia crowns is very simple and includes regular brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups.
