Zircon crowns - much more than aesthetics

Dental crowns are replacements that are not made only when one or more teeth are missing - if we have teeth that have been treated, damaged or have a large part of the crown in a filling, and in these cases crowns as a replacement should be an indication for installation. With them, we achieve not only an aesthetic, but also a functional effect.

There is a wide choice of materials when it comes to dental prosthetics. The profession has progressed to a great extent and today, in addition to the extraordinary aesthetic effect, we can also achieve correction of the relationship of the teeth, some minor orthodontic irregularities, but also change the morphology of the teeth, which ultimately leads to a beautiful and attractive smile.

Nevertheless, the choice of materials plays a big role, not only when it comes to aesthetics. The properties that a certain material possesses can greatly affect the durability of the restoration and the relationship with the soft tissues of the oral cavity, and that is why all possibilities should be taken into account in the planning of the therapy in order to get first of all a healthy and then a beautiful smile.

Fixed restorations can be made of metal ceramic and zircon ceramic, which again has several types. Metal-ceramics have been used for years in dental prosthetics and have proven to be functionally good, but with the development of materials and the advancement of therapeutic possibilities, zircon ceramics, due to their favorable properties and characteristics, have stood out as the material of first choice whenever possible for the replacement of lost and/or damaged teeth.

Zircon ceramics

Zircon ceramic crowns are highly aesthetic materials for tooth replacement. They consist of two layers, a zircon base and a ceramic build-up, so they do not have any admixture of dark metal, which enables them to have superior aesthetics. It is of extraordinary strength, and with its features it satisfies both functionality and aesthetics at the highest level.

Why choose zirconia rather than metal ceramics?

When we talk about the choice of materials, it's not just about aesthetics. Zircon ceramics have many properties that favorably affect the durability of the restoration, its relationship with the gums, but also enable its longer service life.

Biocompatibility is the most important feature that zircon ceramics possess - zircon is recognized as the material most similar to a natural tooth, which means that it will not have any allergic reactions with the gums and the gums will accept them as a natural tooth. This allows for a longer durability of the replacement and healthy gums, which is of great importance for the preservation of the bone and the general supporting apparatus of the teeth. Zircon is recognized as a hypoallergenic material, because no allergic reactions or changes in soft tissues were recorded in patients who had zircon ceramic crowns as compensation.

Another great advantage of zircon ceramics is its superior aesthetics. A large selection of shades and the possibility of manipulation with the transparency of the material ensures that the patient receives perfectly natural teeth, with superior functionality and biocompatibility. Zircon ceramics, unlike metal ceramics, do not have a metal base, so there is no possibility of causing dark discoloration of the gingiva around the edges of the gums.

Zircon ceramics are also accompanied by computer manufacturing, because today most of these restorations are made using computer CAD/CAM systems, which enables millimeter precision of the restoration. Grinding for zirconia ceramics also requires the removal of less tooth substance, which reduces the possibility of exposing the pulp, especially in teeth that have a rotated or inclined position.

Prettau zircon - the first choice for superior aesthetics

In the last few years, Prettau zircon has become the first choice for patients who want the highest level of aesthetics and at the same time top functionality. It is characterized by a pronounced translucency, which allows for a maximally natural appearance of the teeth. Prettau zircon has no admixture of ceramics, i.e. it is completely made of zirconium, which gives it the characteristic of the most modern material when it comes to making prosthetic restorations. Unlike ordinary zirconia, this type of restoration only takes four to five days to make.
