Zirconia Infrastructure Teeth
Cap-shaped tools that cover the dental implant or the tooth itself are called “crowns”. It’s used for the supportive treatment of weak teeth. It can also be preferred to cover a worn or naturally discolored tooth. It is also known to be used together with a dental bridge.
Crowns are usually made of ceramic material and other metals. Zirconium is a popular option that has become common recently. Zirconium crowns are made of zirconium dioxide and they are very durable.
The Procedure of Zirconia Crown placement
First of all, local anesthesia is given to the area where the zirconium crown is placed. After that, the targeted tooth is prepared. The dentist takes measurements around the tooth. It’s closed with a temporary crown for a while. The preparation of zirconium crowns usually takes a few days. Meanwhile, the patient should live with a temporary crown. Finally, the zirconium crown is applied to the place and attached with special dental cement.
What Is The Dental Post And Why Is It Necessary?
A dental post is required when most of the natural crown is absent. There must be enough healthy teeth to support the zirconia crown. It’s usually necessary to have the tooth extracted when the canals of the root are in poor condition. It’s also possible to replace it with an implant, but it can also be considered a good option as the dental post is known to support the zirconia crown. X-rays are helpful when choosing a treatment. Using the x-ray, the condition of the tooth is seen, and a decision is made whether to apply the dental post or not. Before the post is placed, the nerves inside the tooth are cleaned. During the procedure, there should be no sensitivity due to the nerves. The post is placed in the canals.
The advantages of Zirconia Crown
Zirconia crowns are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Since it does not contain metal, patients with allergies do not have any problems.
Crowns are designed with a special system using the latest technology. This process is almost completely automatic. It’s used high-quality materials when producing zirconium crowns. Grinding the teeth makes them weaker over time. Considering this situation, the Zirconia crown is made of durable material.
