Are your teeth severely chipped or worn out? Do you have very crowded teeth? Or are you unhappy with your
Old, metal-ceramic crowns?
If you want to protect your teeth and maintain an aesthetic and natural white look at the same time, Zirconium Crowns in BaniHani clinic might be the right treatment for you.
Crowns made of zirconia are becoming increasingly common, and they do offer some advantages.
Strength
One of the biggest advantages of zirconia is its strength and durability. Consider how much force your back teeth exert on the food that you chew.
Your crowns need to be made of a strong material, so zirconia may be a good choice for crowns in the back of your mouth. Also, because zirconia is so strong, a dentist won’t have to do as much preparation of your tooth.
Longevity
Zirconia-based crowns fared just as well over the course of 5 years as metal-based crowns, according to a 2017 randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Dentistry. And crowns made of zirconia, called monolithic zirconia crowns, are especially durable.
Biocompatibility
Zirconia is the choice of many dentists for its biocompatibility, which means it’s less likely to provoke the body into producing a reaction or immunological response like inflammation.
A 2016 in vitro study Trusted Source confirms this, and it also found only a limited amount of cytotoxicity.
Can be hard to match
One potential disadvantage of a zirconia crown is its opaque appearance, which can make it look less than natural. This is especially true for monolithic zirconia crowns, which are made just from zirconia, although it may be less of an issue for teeth in the back of your mouth.
Reasons to Get a Zirconia Crown
Several factors can make your teeth wear down or break. Tooth decay, injuries, and natural aging are among the leading causes of tooth damage. Grinding your teeth, a crossbite, and chewing on hard objects might cause your teeth to lose their shape or reduce in size. Getting a zirconia crown won’t help grow your natural tooth back to health, but it’ll prevent further decay and improve the affected tooth’s appearance. Your dentist may use a dental crown to fix many oral problems. The most common are:
Preventing fractures on a week tooth
Keeping a tooth together when it’s in bad shape
Improving the look of your smile
Restoring a broken or worn-down tooth
Improving your bite
Covering large fillings, dental implants, and root canals
Capping misshapen or discolored teeth
