ZIRCONIUM CROWNS

ZIRCONIUM CROWNS

It is one of the most important and most recommended types of crowns in recent times. Those who want aesthetic artificial teeth prefer zirconium crowns. Patients are often curious about the composition or materials used in the production of zirconium crowns.

Zirconium crowns consist of zirconium oxide or zirconium. Zirconium is a white metal that is radiopaque in X-rays. Additionally, the tooth color is whiter than other treatment options. There is no anesthetic gray line visibility compared to that of traditional metal-based ceramic crowns.

Zirconium crowns are known to provide a natural appearance. Often, zirconium crowns are difficult to distinguish from natural teeth. When metal-based crowns are used, it is recommended that zirconium crowns be bonded to the teeth to give a more natural appearance to the relevant teeth, as there is a tendency for the gum line to darken.

The tissues in the mouth happily accept zirconium crowns. Zirconium crowns start to work really well within days of completing the zirconium crown treatment. The lifespan of zirconium crowns is equal compared to normal crowns.

Most dental crowns are corroded by patients over years of regular use. Various liquids and foods consumed over the years cause corrosion of dental crowns. Zirconium crowns do not corrode like other types of dental crowns, which greatly contributes to their longevity.

The latest dental technologies are successfully used in the production of zirconium crowns. The best part is that lots of natural teeth are preserved, which saves a lot of time in the process. Only minimal preparation is required by the dentist to attach zirconium crowns to the relevant teeth.

These crowns are produced with CAD-CAM (Computer-aided design – Computer-aided milling) technology, which is the latest technology in digital dentistry. Therefore, zirconium crowns are of great benefit to individuals who want to get permanent aesthetic solutions for their damaged teeth. Zirconium crowns are one of the best treatment options in modern times.
