ジルコニアクラウンの利点

Zirconia tooth crowns provide patients with a natural-looking crown that stands up well to the forces exerted during biting.

Zirconia crowns can be created for patients following the same process as other dental restorations; however, there are some distinct features.

Strong and Durable

Zirconia is one of the strongest materials available for dental crowns, being capable of withstanding forces associated with chewing that could otherwise damage natural teeth. Furthermore, Zirconia’s stiffer structure and crack-resistance make it less likely to chip or break when placed adjacent to another tooth; advanced CAD/CAM technology and modern sintering ovens further boost this material’s strength and stability.

Zirconia tooth crowns are highly stain-resistant, which ensures they will look stunning long-term while needing less repairs or replacements than other forms of dental restorations. Unfortunately, zirconia may not color match as well to your natural teeth as porcelain does.

Zirconia crowns can be produced more conveniently and swiftly when made in-office rather than at a laboratory, saving time and removing the need for temporary crowns. Your dentist takes digital pictures and scans of your bite in order to design your crown – this same-day process reduces wait time significantly and eliminates need for temporary prostheses.

Solid or monolithic zirconia crowns are opaque, making them an excellent choice for posterior (back) crowns. Furthermore, this material requires minimal occlusal clearance and wear down of adjacent teeth compared with alternative materials like metal. At Dandy Laboratory’s unique layering process creates translucent and opalescent zirconia layers to achieve more seamless blend with natural teeth when creating anterior crowns.

Stain-Resistant

Zirconia crowns are more resistant to staining than natural teeth, prolonging their color and appearance longer. This makes them an excellent option for people with naturally white or very light-colored teeth who wish to maintain the original appearance for longer; but they’re also useful in helping those with discolored or stained teeth avoid having to keep up with keeping their crowns clean themselves. Zirconia crowns may even stain less frequently than porcelain ones if manufactured at optimal temperatures with shorter sintering times – ideal conditions are necessary for fabrication!

As is true for all dental restorations, proper oral hygiene practices and regular visits to your dentist are vital in order to prevent tooth decay that could reduce the longevity of zirconia crowns – but with proper care and maintenance they could last you an entire lifetime!

One of the major advantages of zirconia crowns is their ability to look completely natural. Their translucent structure allows light to pass through them, creating the impression of natural enamel – helping them blend in seamlessly with other teeth for a radiant smile.

Zirconia crowns provide another benefit over porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns: no metallic line at the gingival margin that shows when people smile. This makes them ideal for individuals with sensitive gums or allergies to metals such as nickel.

Natural-Looking

Zirconia crowns resemble natural teeth closely, making them an excellent option when replacing an affected or decayed one. Their translucent properties allow light transmission while seamlessly blending in with neighboring teeth; moreover, these crowns don’t show darkening around their margins compared to traditional porcelain crowns which may cause discoloration around the gumline.

Zirconia crowns can usually be created during one visit to the dentist’s office, enabling dentists to save more natural enamel in most cases. Computer-aided design and manufacturing technology is used for production to guarantee custom fit, reduce gaps or inaccuracies, improve comfort, and function. At Avant we utilize our state-of-the-art zirconia lab equipped with digital intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM software in order to craft custom restorations specifically tailored for patients.

If you are contemplating getting a crown, it is essential to discuss all available materials with your dental provider. They will be able to guide you in selecting one that best fits your specific requirements in terms of location of affected tooth/its function as well as aesthetic goals.

Zirconia crowns are an excellent option for people living an active lifestyle, as it withstands wear and tear better than porcelain crowns. Additionally, this material may help those suffering from bruxism (grinding). Zirconia is more durable than porcelain crowns and can withstand heavier pressure than traditional crowns can.

Easy to Maintain

Zirconia crowns don’t need to be milled like porcelain crowns do, giving them an advantage when it comes to mimicking the appearance of their counterparts they’re replacing. This makes customizing them much simpler – whether a dentist wants it to match natural or make dramatic transformations. Furthermore, zirconia tinting makes replacement much simpler in case the patient’s teeth darken after placement so it can easily be colored over or replaced without sending back to a lab for another replacement crown.

Zirconia (also commonly referred to as zirconium dioxide) is biocompatible, making it safe for use in the mouth. As such, it makes an ideal option for patients with sensitive teeth or gums who cannot tolerate chemicals contained within other dental materials.

Zirconia crowns may only have been around for a short while, yet they already outshone glass ceramic ones in terms of aesthetics and strength. But it is important to keep in mind that their durability depends on proper care from patients; brushing, flossing, and visiting their dental professional regularly are necessary steps towards keeping crowns in good condition over time.
