Zirconium Crowns

In the realm of restorative dentistry, the quest for materials that combine strength with aesthetics has led to the rise of zirconium crowns. These crowns, known for their durability and natural appearance, are fast becoming the preferred choice for many. At Surgeryist Health Clinic, we harness the potential of zirconium to give our patients smiles that are both beautiful and long-lasting.

Understanding Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium crowns are made from zirconia, a white powdered metal known for its incredible strength and biocompatibility. When crafted into dental crowns, zirconia offers a translucency that closely mimics natural teeth, making it a favorite among both dentists and patients.

Why Zirconium Crowns?

• Aesthetically Pleasing: Their translucency ensures they blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
• Durability: Resistant to wear and tear, ensuring longevity.
• Biocompatible: Minimal risk of allergic reactions or tissue irritations.
• Metal-Free: No risk of dark metal margins showing over time.

The Zirconium Crown Procedure: A Glimpse

Initial Assessment: A thorough examination to determine the suitability of zirconium crowns.

Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown.

Impression Taking: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to craft the crown.

Crown Placement: Once ready, the zirconium crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

Advantages Over Traditional Crowns

• No Metal Framework: Unlike porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, zirconium crowns don't have a metal base, eliminating any chances of a grey line near the gum.
• Less Tooth Removal: Zirconium crowns require less tooth reduction compared to other types.
• Temperature Resilience: Reduced sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.

Caring for Your Zirconium Crowns

While zirconium crowns are known for their durability, proper care ensures they last a lifetime:

• Regular Brushing and Flossing: Maintain oral hygiene to prevent plaque buildup.
• Regular Dental Check-ups: Ensures the crown and surrounding gum tissue remain healthy.
• Avoiding Hard Foods: While zirconium is strong, it's advisable to avoid biting on extremely hard substances.
