Zirconia Crown
A crown is a type of dental restoration that fully cups over that portion of a tooth or dental implant that lies at and above the gum line. Dental crowns – often referred to as “dental cap” “tooth cap” or “porcelain jackets” – are necessary when the tooth is decayed to an extent that it cannot be filled or partly restored by an inlay or onlay, so it has to be filed under local anaesthesia and then covered with a crown.
Zirconia is more and more preferred in aesthetic dentistry due to a huge number of good characteristics. The comparison below will help you to see the difference between zirconia and porcelain fused to metal crown.
However porcelain fused to metal crown cannot compete with zirconia in terms of aesthetic it is still a perfect restoration to achieve a reliable and durable result at a lower cost.
The zirconia or zirconium crown is designed and manufactured by a special computerized CAD/CAM technology assuring the best precision beside other benefits which cannot be guaranteed by other conventional restoration methods. The perfect outcome is reached in a very short lapse of time due to in almost all steps computerized workflow.
