In general, a dental crown is a prosthesis making it possible to cover a damaged or devitalized tooth or to restore a natural aesthetic to the mouth.
The zirconium crown is also called a ceramic crown on a zirconia base or a ceramic zirconia crown. Its specificity is that it does not have a metal frame.
The inner part is made of zirconia, a material of white color and the outer part is covered with cosmetic ceramic. By virtue of its characteristics, zirconium today achieves the highest level of esthetics in dentistry.
– to restore a broken or damaged tooth
– to replace an old crown for the sake of reliability or aesthetics
– to correct a cosmetic problem
It is recommended for patients suffering from “bruxism” (more commonly known as grinding of teeth) because zirconia offers greater resistance over time than any other material.
Due to its natural appearance, zirconium is very aesthetic in the mouth. The absence of metal (as present in a ceramic-metal crown) prevents the appearance of a gray border near the gum line. The zirconium crown has a translucent nature that allows it to let in light and give some reflection to your teeth, thus integrating perfectly with your natural teeth.
