Zirconium Crown

Zirconium crowns are aesthetic and durable restorations used in dentistry. Zirconium dioxide (zirconia) is a highly durable ceramic material, making it a preferred option for dental prosthetics. Zirconium crowns are used to cover and strengthen damaged, decayed, or aesthetically displeasing areas of teeth.

Zirconium crowns are custom-made by dentists using special digital technologies to precisely design the shape, size, and color of the teeth. The natural appearance, color-matching ability, and light transmission of zirconium offer aesthetic advantages while providing strength, preserving the natural appearance of teeth.

The application of zirconium crowns involves the following steps:

1. Evaluation: The dentist assesses the patient’s dental structure and needs, determining whether zirconium crowns are a suitable treatment option.
2. Tooth Preparation: If needed, a small amount of the front surface of the teeth is removed, and digital measurements are taken.
3. Temporary Crowns: While the zirconium crowns are being custom-made in a specialized laboratory, temporary crowns can be placed on the patient’s teeth.
4. Placement: After the zirconium crowns are prepared in the laboratory, the dentist permanently places them on the teeth and secures them using appropriate adhesive.

Zirconium crowns offer an aesthetic and durable dental prosthetic solution, providing solid service for many years. However, their suitability for each patient should be determined based on the dentist’s evaluation and the compatibility with the patient’s dental structure.
