What are "Zirconia Teeth" and "Metal-Ceramic Teeth"

16 September 2022

Covering teeth with zirconia crowns is done in cases where tooth damage is extensive, there is a fracture or there is a risk of fracture and cracks on the surface of the tooth, large cavities, restored crown part, strongly discolored teeth, bruxism and/or pathological wear. To restore the visual and functional characteristics of the tooth, zirconium crowns and metal-ceramic crowns are one of the most modern and widespread methods in dentistry. "Zircon teeth" and "ceramic teeth" have replaced dental crowns made of various metals.  

Zirconium Dioxide Crowns

Zirconium crowns are attached to the tooth. They are made of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). Zirconium dioxide is highly durable and compatible with the human body. In the treatment process, when restoring a tooth, artificial  crowns are made of zirconium dioxide. Then they  are covered from the outside with porcelain.

Several Reasons Why We Should Choose Crowns Made Of Zirconia (Zirconia Teeth / Porcelain Teeth)

• Biocompatibility – dental implants, like natural teeth, blend into the soft tissues of the patient's mouth and do not irritate the gums.
• Zirconium dioxide material, like porcelain, is hypoallergenic, therefore any kind of allergic symptoms after their installation are excluded.
• Dental crowns made of zirconium dioxide are very aesthetic - they have the same color and gloss as natural teeth.

Metal-Ceramic Crowns

Despite the fact that in modern dentistry, it is possible to make an artificial tooth crown from many different materials (porcelain, zirconium dioxide or various metal alloys), still the most widespread method is tooth restoration is with metal-ceramic crowns.Metal-ceramic crowns fit the patient's tooth from the outside as a kind of "cap". During the treatment, after preparation, a crown is made on the remaining root of the tooth. The basis of the construction of the metal-ceramic prosthesis is a kind of metal frame, which is covered with porcelain on top in order to improve the visual and functional effect. The prosthesis itself completely repeats the natural contour of the tooth and harmoniously blends with the symmetry of the patient's tooth row. To fix the artificial metal-ceramic crown on the tooth, dentists use a special dental material.

Several reasons why we should choose metal-ceramic crowns

• Durability - metal-ceramic crowns are distinguished by durability during use.
• Availability - the price of metal-ceramics, compared to other alternative methods with the same function, is lower and, accordingly, it is more accessible to patients.
