What is Zirconia for teeth?

In the past, dentists primarily used metal crowns to restore and repair damaged or broken teeth, with gold crowns being one of the most commonly used and durable types of metal crowns. While gold crowns were highly durable, they have fallen out of favor today because their metallic color causes the teeth to lose their natural appearance. As a result, non-metallic crowns are now more popular than metal ones, and one of the best non-metallic crown options is zirconia. Zirconia is made from a white alloy, which helps maintain the natural beauty of the teeth.

Advantages of Zirconia Crowns:

  • High durability and resistance
  • Excellent resistance to wear and tear
  • Closely matches the natural color of teeth
  • Minimal tooth reduction required
  • No metal skeleton
  • Customizable in terms of size, shape, and color
  • Biocompatible
  • Does not harm the gums

Zirconia Tooth Crown Procedure:

The zirconia tooth crown procedure is similar to other crown methods. In the first treatment session, the dentist shaves a small amount of the enamel to ensure that when the crown is placed, it won’t protrude compared to the neighboring teeth. Next, an impression of the teeth is taken and sent to a laboratory, where the zirconia crown is crafted using milling machines based on the mold provided.

What is a Zirconia Crown?

A zirconia crown is an all-ceramic dental crown reinforced with zirconium frames, structurally similar to PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns. The key difference is that instead of metal, zirconia, which has a white color and exceptional strength, is used at the center of the crown.

These crowns are often used for front teeth. Zirconia is an extremely hard material with a light color and chemically neutral properties, which is sometimes also used in electrical devices. With advancements in material science, ceramics that are resistant to fracture have been developed, and this innovation has made its way into dentistry.

 

What is a PFM Crown?

A PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) crown is a dental crown made by bonding porcelain to a metal base. The core structure of the crown is made of metal, providing excellent strength and durability. Due to the materials used, this crown offers aesthetic appeal when placed on the patient’s teeth.

In the past, PFM crowns were widely used as fixed dental prostheses. However, with the introduction of zirconia crowns, the use of PFM crowns has decreased. The inner layer of the PFM crown is made of metal, which surrounds the tooth, while the visible portion is crafted from durable porcelain.

If you really must drink colored beverages, try drinking them through a straw, and after consuming colored foods or drinks, rinse your mouth with water. If possible, try brushing your teeth afterward.

Maintain daily oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth and flossing at least twice a day is essential to keep your teeth free of stains.

Use a whitening toothpaste. This type of toothpaste helps remove surface stains and keeps your teeth white for a longer period. You should use this type of toothpaste only once a week.

Visit your dentist every six months or more often to have your teeth professionally whitened. This helps prevent stains that are difficult to remove.
