Die Vorteile von Zirkoniumdioxidzähnen

Zirconia teeth are non-metal crowns, making them highly biocompatible for patients. As with porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, patients will not experience an allergic reaction when using zirconia crowns.

Traditional tooth whitening methods will not work on these restorations; however, they tend to resist spots much better than ceramic crowns. Stomadent Dental Laboratory utilizes cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology to mill lifelike zirconia teeth with exceptional luster that fit precisely at delivery.

1. Aesthetics

Aesthetic is one of the primary considerations when selecting a tooth restoration solution, and porcelain crowns have long been revered for their ability to emulate natural tooth color and translucency; however, advances in zirconia technology have allowed us to offer patients even greater aesthetic results.

BruxZir Esthetic Zirconia is designed to be an ideal combination of strength and beauty, constructed through advanced colloidal processing technology and shading solutions to increase color stability and translucency, and create a lifelike appearance nearly identical to those of natural teeth.

Zirconia crowns create an enhanced smile by eliminating the “blushing” effect often associated with porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. Without needing metal substructure, zirconia crowns can be thinner and more natural-looking.

Zirconia crowns are biocompatible, meaning they won’t cause irritation to gum tissue like traditional PFM crowns do, helping ensure both healthy aesthetics and comfort for patients.

Patients in Seattle looking for zirconia restorations can rest easy knowing they will match up perfectly with their natural teeth when selecting Avant’s CAD-CAM lab in Seattle, which uses virtual articulation and digital shade matching technologies to ensure zirconia crowns are perfectly aligned and blend in seamlessly with surrounding dentition.

As the initial step to getting a zirconia crown, scheduling a consultation appointment with your dentist is the first step in getting one. At this appointment, he or she will examine each tooth to assess if one needs covering by a crown and prepare the affected areas by extracting any decay or damage and shaping the remaining parts. Impressions or digital scans of your tooth will then be sent off to a laboratory where veneers are custom crafted specifically to fit into place over your tooth.

2. Strength

Zirconia is an innovative dental material. Composed of ceramic, it is much stronger than porcelain and metal alloys – making it an excellent choice for back molars that experience extreme pressure when chewing and biting, as well as lessening stress on opposing teeth that could otherwise wear down their enamel over time and create sensitivity issues. Zirconia crowns also tend to reduce stress on opposing teeth which could wear away their enamel over time, further decreasing wear on opposing molars.

Zirconium can also be an ideal option for patients suffering from bruxism, as it won’t crack under pressure when grinding and clenching is done. Furthermore, its exceptional strength without bulky appearance makes it popular with dentists. Plus, since zirconia does not contain metal substructures it will not trigger allergies like it would with porcelain teeth.

Zirconia restorations offer another distinct advantage compared to composite or acrylic ones: they don’t stain as easily, resisting staining from coffee, tea and other beverages to help maintain whiter smiles for longer.

Zirconia dental crowns and restorations can be created through the computer-aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) process, which allows dentists to take digital impressions of your teeth using either putty or an advanced scanner and then use this information to craft custom crowns that perfectly match them. This option is especially advantageous for people who do not wish to endure the lengthy process of having traditional crowns custom crafted at a laboratory before having them fitted at the dentist office; in certain instances this technology can even create same-day zirconia crowns!

3. Durability

Zirconia is one of the strongest monolithic ceramics used for dental restorations, and makes an excellent choice when restoring back teeth. Due to its strength and durability, zirconia crowns offer increased wear resistance over traditional porcelain restorations – meaning they won’t chip or crack easily over time.

Zirconia restorations can be stained to match the color of your natural teeth, like porcelain and metal restorations; however, their translucent structure allows light to pass through them, creating the effect of enamel-like shine on natural-looking restorations – an essential feature in front-tooth restorations where an authentic appearance is crucial.

Zirconia stands out as an extremely durable material due to its millability; milling allows precise shaping without needing other materials such as metals. This allows the creation of structures that are strong yet precise – perfect for crowns! – so your new crown fits seamlessly over natural tooth structure.

Zirconia dental applications utilize CAD-CAM technology, using computers to produce precise restoration shapes. While the manufacturing process results in structural shrinkage that must be partially compensated for during design stage, the end result is strong, reliable crowns capable of withstanding forces of mastication and bruxism. Zirconia also proves more resistant than eMax to fractures but still less durable than titanium as an option – yet many patients still opt for zirconia crowns over traditional porcelain and PFM options!

4. Flexibility

Zirconia is an extremely strong and durable material, but can be more challenging to work with than some other materials. This is particularly true of monolithic zirconia which may be difficult to match the color and opacity of natural teeth – this may pose particular difficulty for crowns placed at visible points in your mouth such as your molars. New nanoceramic bridge frameworks utilizing monolithic zirconia restorations reduce these issues by milling each restoration from one solid block.

Nanoceramics also tend to weigh less, providing another benefit for patients with worn down or broken teeth that require capping. When teeth become damaged, dentists may recommend capping in order to preserve size, strength, and appearance – this process typically involves shaping an affected tooth in a dental office and bonding a fabricated restoration to it – this process may be straightforward or more involved depending on its material and your individual condition of the affected tooth.

Zirconia may also present challenges when it comes to shaping, as its hard texture makes it challenging to shape into precise designs. While it is an excellent material for dental crowns, making adjustments or modifications more challenging once attached in place.

Modern intraoral scanning technologies and digital crown workflows from labs such as Dandy can help ensure proper shade matching between restorations and adjacent teeth, helping prevent any possible damage to natural enamel caused by mismatched restorations. By choosing these digital options, modern intraoral scanners and crown workflows may help.

5. Comfort

Zirconia teeth may be an ideal option for people with sensitive gums or jaws. They’re less abrasive than dentures and don’t rest on the gum line, which may cause irritation or bruxism for some patients. Plus, Zirconia feels more like natural teeth for an enhanced chewing surface experience.

Zirconia dental crowns offer many advantages over porcelain alternatives, including being less susceptible to low temperature degradation and lasting longer with each wear, making them a more cost-effective solution in the long run.

Zirconia crowns require less of your natural tooth structure to prepare, which helps your dentist preserve more of it and may allow for same-day procedures if time constraints exist.

Zirconia crowns are constructed with translucent ceramic material that mimics the look of enamel, helping the crowns blend in seamlessly with natural tooth structure without creating noticeable gaps or dark lines. Furthermore, zirconia implants are biocompatible – meaning your body won’t reject or create allergic reactions like it would with metal implants.

CEREC (Chairside Economic Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology makes zirconia dental crown fabrication and installation quicker for busy patients. Your dentist can create and cement the crown in one visit using milling machines in their office; further speeding up the process and eliminating the need to stretch out their procedure into multiple visits.
