Nowadays, dental crowns are an alternative to which more and more people are looking for comfort, usefulness and a unique smile. Therefore, we will tell you everything you still don't know about this treatment.

What are zirconium crowns?

Zirconia crowns are a type of dental crowns that are made with zirconia, a ceramic material widely used in the dental sector due to its aesthetic properties and the ease they provide the patient to carry out their daily functions, such as eating or speaking.

It is a cover that is placed over the denture to improve the patient's oral health, perfecting its size, recovering its functions and acting as a protector for the existing pieces.

Main characteristics of zirconia crowns

• Dental crowns can be made of different materials: zirconia, metal or porcelain, although the first is one of the most demanded by patients due to its benefits.
• They have great resistance to the tooth in order to reinforce the cavity in case it has lost part of the surface.
• It adapts perfectly to the patient's teeth, as it must cover each tooth in an airtight manner, almost acting as if it were the tooth itself.
• The appearance of these dental crowns is 100% natural, imitating the color and shape of the rest of the teeth. 

4 benefits of zirconia crowns

One of the main questions from our patients is the difference that exists between the different types of dental crowns, and why zirconia is the most used material for this treatment. We'll tell you!

Denture reinforcement

Zirconium crowns are dental caps with great resistance due to the material with which they are made, a factor of great importance for those people whose teeth are in a weak state, preventing any impact from damaging the teeth or causing problems when chewing.

Aesthetic smile improvement

This type of dental crowns adapt perfectly to the patient's smile, covering those gaps in which teeth are missing or where they are in deterioration. Furthermore, as they are covers that cover the teeth, they can modify their shape.

Long-lasting natural look 

Before proceeding with a treatment of zirconia dental crowns, the clinic must carry out an in-depth study of the patient's oral cavity with the aim of creating a material adapted to its shape and color. Only in this way can you achieve an almost real appearance that does not fade over time.

100% biocompatible

Unfortunately, many patients have allergies to certain metals or materials used in dental clinics. With zirconia crowns this is over! Zirconia is a 100% biocompatible material.
