Zirconia crowns are synthetic crowns designed to cover damaged or weakened teeth, concealing the visible portion above the gum line. Richter’s dentists recommend these crowns for patients with one or more damaged teeth or those requiring large cavity fillings.
Types of Crowns
There are a variety of crown materials, including metal-ceramic, metal, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. The choice depends on tooth location, visible space, and the desired balance between strength and appearance. Our dentist thoroughly examines the oral cavity during a dental consultation, determining the most suitable crown type based on dental implant location and patient preferences. At Richter’s dental clinic, installing a metal-ceramic artificial crown is offered—a common, durable, and cost-effective choice.
Purposes of Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns serve several purposes, including:
Tooth Protection: Addressing tooth weakening due to extensive cavities or root canal procedures.
Restoration of Form and Function: Repairing broken or damaged tooth portions.
Cosmetic Purposes: Providing colour to discoloured teeth.
Supporting Dental Bridges: Supporting dental bridges and replacing missing teeth.
Installation Process of Zirconia Crown
- Dental Implant Placement: A small titanium post (dental implant) is surgically placed into the jawbone, replacing the missing tooth’s root. This implant integrates with the jawbone during healing, establishing a stable base.
- Abutment: After healing, a supporting abutment is fixed on top of the dental implant.
- Placement of Artificial Crown: The zirconia crown, crafted to mimic natural teeth, is attached to the abutment, completing the dental implantation process.
Richter’s Dental Clinic specialises in efficient and effective aesthetic dentistry procedures. Apart from zirconium crowns, we offer tooth restoration, teeth straightening with braces, and smile enhancement with veneers.
