Zirconium crowns are a solid choice for dental restorations, known for their strength, durability, and esthetic appeal. Made from zirconium crowns provide a natural-looking appearance while being resistant to wear and fracture.
As Miss Endo Dental Team, we often apply zirconium crowns, even with the superior esthetics of E-max crowns, as they remain a reliable option for many patients. Zirconium crowns are biocompatible, making them suitable for individuals with sensitivities to metals, and can be used in both anterior and posterior teeth, offering versatility in various dental applications.
Benefits of Zirconium Crowns
💫 Zirconium crowns are highly resistant to wear and can withstand significant biting forces.
💫 They offer a natural-looking finish that blends well with the surrounding teeth.
💫 Zirconium is well-tolerated by the body, making it a suitable option for patients with metal sensitivities.
💫 These crowns require less tooth structure to be removed compared to some traditional crowns, preserving more of the natural tooth.
💫 Zirconium crowns are less prone to staining, maintaining their appearance over time.
💫 They can be used for both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth, providing flexibility in various dental restorations.
💫 Zirconium crowns offer excellent adhesion to the tooth structure, enhancing their stability and longevity.
Who Is Not Suitable for Zirconium Crowns?
While zirconium crowns are a popular option, they may not be suitable for everyone. Consider the following circumstances:
1. Insufficient Tooth Structure: If there is not enough healthy tooth to support the crown, other treatments may be required.
2. Severe Gum Disease: Patients with severe gum disease should address this issue before getting a zirconium crown.
3. Significant Tooth Decay: Extensive decay may require alternative treatments before considering a zirconium crown.
4. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Patients who grind their teeth may risk damaging the zirconium crowns over time.
5. Material Allergies: Individuals with allergies to zirconium or other materials used in the crown should explore alternative options.
6. Future Root Canal: If a root canal is needed, it is advisable to complete that treatment before placing a zirconium crown.
