Dental crowns made of zirconia are a highly durable and aesthetically pleasing option for restoring damaged or decayed teeth. At DC Family Dental, our team utilizes zirconia crowns to provide patients with a reliable and natural-looking solution that enhances both function and appearance.
Benefits of Zirconia Dental Crowns
Zirconia crowns offer several significant advantages:
- Exceptional Strength: Zirconia is one of the strongest materials used in dentistry, providing long-lasting durability and resistance to wear.
- Natural Appearance: These crowns are designed to match the color and translucency of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.
- Biocompatibility: Zirconia is highly biocompatible, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions and promoting healthy gum tissue.
- Minimal Tooth Reduction: The strength of zirconia allows for thinner crowns, meaning less natural tooth structure needs to be removed during preparation.
The Zirconia Crown Procedure
The process of receiving a zirconia crown involves several key steps:
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Mayur Patel will evaluate your tooth and discuss the best treatment options.
- Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown, and impressions are taken to create a precise mold.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent zirconia crown is being fabricated.
- Crown Placement: Once ready, the zirconia crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth or implant post, adjusted for fit and comfort and polished to match your natural teeth.
