Zirconia crowns are generally used to restore or replace decaying, damaged teeth. It is very important to understand the pros and cons of zirconia crowns before the treatment. The advantages of zirconia crowns are their durability, their high quality and their perfectly natural appearance. They can be used after root canal treatments for aesthetic reasons or they can also be placed onto implants to replace missing teeth.
Zirconia crowns are made in our laboratory with a special, computerized system, using CAD-CAM technology. This makes it possible to fit them perfectly to the abutment amongst other advantages. The crown is produced in a short time in this almost completely automatized process. Our clinic only used high quality materials for the zirconia crowns.
Zirconia crowns provide a much more aesthetic result than porcelain crowns. Additionally, zirconia crowns are fully biocompatible and contain no metal, therefore they are a safe choice for patients with metal allergies.
