General information on medical treatment

Zirconia Crowns: The Evolution of Restorative Dentistry

Zirconia crowns represent a significant advancement in modern dentistry, offering a unique combination of strength and aesthetics. This biocompatible material provides exceptional durability and superior aesthetic results, with success rates exceeding 95% in well-selected cases. The CAD/CAM technology used in crafting these crowns ensures precision and perfect adaptation.

Assessment and Planning

The indication for zirconia crowns arises in various cases, such as heavily damaged teeth, endodontically treated teeth, or need for replacement of old crowns. Detailed planning includes analysis of remaining tooth structure, occlusion, and patient's aesthetic expectations.

Procedure Preparation

The preparatory phase involves radiographic examinations, periodontal evaluation, and, when necessary, prior endodontic treatment. Digital scanning of the prepared tooth allows precise crown fabrication through advanced computerized technology.

Installation Process

Zirconia crown installation is performed in carefully planned stages. The procedure includes tooth preparation, digital impression, crown fabrication in a specialized laboratory, and final installation. CAD/CAM technology ensures millimetric precision and perfect adaptation.

Adaptation Period

After crown installation, there may be a brief adaptation period. Initial sensitivity is normal and usually disappears within a few days. Following hygiene guidelines and specific care instructions is essential to ensure treatment longevity.

Professional Choice

Success with zirconia crowns depends on professional expertise. Look for oral rehabilitation specialists with proven experience. To find the ideal professional, consult patient reviews and verify previous cases similar to yours.
