Zirconium is found in nature as a silvery-white transparent solid element. Once the pure mineral state is combined with oxygen, it is transformed into zirconium ceramic and processed in special furnaces and CAD-CAM technology.
Zirconium is a white solid ceramic glaze and one of several newer materials that combine metal's strength with the aesthetic, tooth-like appeal of porcelain.
Zirconium is in the class of metal unsupported crowns and has a more natural and aesthetic appearance compared to metal supported crowns.
Dental Crowns are used to cover damaged, broken, discoloured or misshaped teeth. In most cases they are used to perfect existing teeth aesthetically but are also applied to bridge missing teeth or as a cover for implants.
They are perfect for shaping as desired by dentists to meet different preferences of patients, they also come with a choice of 20 different shades to choose from which allows matching made easy for any procedure.
There are two kinds of dental crowns. Metal-supported and Metal-unsupported.
As a result of the patients’ desire for a more aesthetic and natural appearance, dentists have started to use zirconium-based tooth coatings more frequently in their treatments.
Since it is natural and aesthetically more desirable, It is commonly used for the front teeth.
