What Are Zirconia Crowns?

Zirconia crowns are restorations made with a zirconia alloy instead of the metal framework of classic crowns. Because they have no metal framework, they are more aesthetic than classic crowns. Their stain-resistant structure keeps a natural look for a long time. Zirconia crowns, which have often been chosen in recent years, are preferred by patients with high aesthetic expectations. Although they have no metal framework, their resistance to fracture is high.

When can zirconia crowns be used?

*To close gaps between teeth, called diastema, when orthodontic treatment is not preferred,

*For discolouration where whitening is not enough,

*To give an aesthetic appearance on top of implants placed in the front teeth,

*To treat teeth with decay, wear or loss of structure for any reason,

*To correct minor orthodontic problems instead of orthodontic treatment,

*In bridges made to replace missing back teeth.

How does treatment with zirconia crowns proceed?

Treatment with zirconia crowns proceeds like that with classic crowns. Local anaesthesia is applied to the teeth to be treated and the teeth are reduced. After the teeth have been reduced, impressions are taken and the tooth colour is chosen. While the impressions are sent to the laboratory, temporary crowns are fitted on the prepared teeth. Once the crowns have been made in the laboratory, they are tried in the mouth and, if there is no problem and the patient approves, they are bonded to the teeth with special adhesives.

What are the advantages of zirconia crowns?

*Because zirconia lets a lot of light through, it gives the teeth a natural look and is very aesthetic.

*It provides an aesthetic appearance and helps keep the gums healthier. Zirconia crowns are compatible with the gums.

*They can be used for patients with metal allergies.

*Their smooth surface keeps staining to a minimum.

*The dull look seen in metal-framework crowns does not occur with zirconia crowns.
