Metal Free / Zirconium Crowns
Metal free ceramic restorations, as the name suggests, do not have a metal framework. These are extremely strong ceramic materials with excellent optical properties. Patients now have a selection from Zirconium Oxide, Aluminium Oxide to Lithium Disilicate. These are clinically proven metal free ceramics which are highly bio-compatible aesthetic and can be used to fabricate restorations that appear life like.
BENEFITS
Cosmetic Beauty
All-porcelain crowns are translucent and smooth, matching the size, color and shade of your original teeth. This makes it difficult to notice that a damaged tooth is being hidden and protected. All-porcelain crowns are a perfect choice for the front teeth restoration.
No Dark Line
Unlike porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (PFM), all-porcelain crowns don’t have a problem of a dark line as they all made of white porcelain that perfectly imitates your natural tooth enamel. When porcelain fused to metal is used for a crown, a receding gumline can show some of the dark metal, but an all-ceramic crown will not display such a line.
Non-allergic
All-porcelain crowns are made of biocompatible material, so there is no risk of allergic reactions and gum irritation.
Single visit Options
Unlike other traditional techniques which require minimum two dental visits and some turn-around time between the procedures,
The aesthetic effects alone of a zirconia crown should be the biggest advantage it can give. It is important that you have dental crowns that will look natural especially if it will be placed at the front teeth and will be visible beside the natural teeth.
The capacity of zirconium to be modified according to the set of teeth it will be placed alongside with is very important. Zirconium crown will not only replace a tooth but it can be shaped so that it will look better than the one it will be replacing. This is why you can spot that perfect natural looking smile anytime.
