Zirconia crowns

Zirconium in dentistry is hard and durable white ceramics. Zirconium is supplied in the form of blocks of various shapes and sizes. Special computer system type CAD / CAM processes zirconium.

Where is zirconium used in dentistry?

• Prosthetics and restorations. Zirconium is durable material with excellent aesthetics. Zirconia crowns and zirconia restorations look perfect and serve for a long time. With the help of zirconium dioxide in the clinic "Medissa" you can make total prosthetics: create a "Hollywood smile" in a short time. Crowns, which are installed in the smile area, are additionally covered with a thin layer of ceramics for maximum aesthetics.
• Implantation. The implant is made of titanium alloy, but the design on which the crown is fixed - the abutment - can be made of zirconium dioxide, rather than metal, for aesthetic purposes.

Features and benefits of zirconia crowns

• Zirconia crowns are durable and, if properly cared for, will serve the patient up to 15–20 years.
• Zirconium is a white ceramic with good transparency. Zirconium crowns do not differ from natural teeth, unlike metal-ceramic and metal crowns.
• If necessary, a thin layer of ceramics is applied to the base of the zirconia crown to create the perfect color and shape of the structure.
• Zirconium, like gold, is well established in the body, does not cause allergies and does not oxidize like metals.
• Zirconia crowns are created using computer systems; therefore, zirconium crowns do not require additional correction and are immediately installed to the patient.
• The cost of zirconia crowns remains high. The price is based on the cost of the material itself and its processing technology.
