Zirconia Crown
A Zirconia Crown is a high-strength, tooth-colored dental restoration designed to protect and restore damaged or decayed teeth. Made from zirconium oxide, these crowns combine exceptional durability with a natural, aesthetic appearance.
Zirconia crowns are ideal for patients seeking a long-lasting solution that closely resembles natural teeth. They are biocompatible, resistant to wear, and can be used on both front and back teeth to restore chewing function, protect weakened teeth, and enhance your smile.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Cost: Generally more expensive than PFM crowns.
- Adjustment Required: May need precise fitting to prevent bite issues.
- Polishing Maintenance: Requires proper care to maintain smooth surface.
- Replacement Eventually: Though durable, crowns may need replacement after years of use.
Care Tips After Treatments
- Brush & Floss Daily: Keep surrounding teeth and gums healthy.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Prevent chipping or damage to the crown.
- Regular Dental Checkups: Ensure proper fit and monitor for wear.
- Use Fluoride Toothpaste: Protect underlying tooth from decay.
