What are Zirconium Crowns?
Zirconium crowns are dental restorations that are used to cover damaged or discolored teeth. They are made from a strong and durable material called zirconia, which closely resembles the natural appearance of teeth. Zirconium crowns provide excellent aesthetics, strength, and longevity, making them a popular choice for dental restoration.
What are the benefits of Zirconium Crowns?
Zirconium crowns offer several benefits. They have a natural and translucent appearance, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. They are highly biocompatible and do not cause any allergic reactions. Zirconium crowns are also resistant to chipping and cracking, providing long-lasting results. Additionally, they require minimal tooth preparation, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
How are Zirconium Crowns placed?
The placement of zirconium crowns typically involves two appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist prepares the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to create space for the crown. Impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where the zirconium crown is custom-made. In the second appointment, the dentist bonds the crown to the tooth using dental cement, ensuring a secure and natural-looking fit.
How do I care for Zirconium Crowns?
Caring for zirconium crowns is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, are essential to maintain the health and longevity of your crowns. Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage. With proper oral hygiene and care, zirconium crowns can last for many years, providing a beautiful and functional smile.
