What Is Zirconia Crown in Islamabad?

A Zirconia Crown in Islamabad is a tooth-shaped dental restoration that is made out of zirconium dioxide. It is a very strong ceramic material used for restoring weakened, broken, severely worn out, heavily filled, or cosmetically compromised teeth.The planning of zirconia crowns at Glam Smile Clinic takes into account such aspects as existing tooth structure, occlusion, tooth placement, gum condition, and aesthetics.

Zirconia is suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth; however, the choice of zirconia and crown design depends on the location and functional role of the tooth. It is necessary to perform a dental examination before coming to the decision of whether to put a crown or not.A crown is never used if there is enough healthy tooth structure, and other options can be applied to restore the tooth function. The dentist first assesses whether the tooth can be restored by means of other procedures (fillings, inlays, onlays, veneers, etc.). Crowns are considered only when extra protection is needed.

How Do Zirconia Crowns Work?

The zirconia crown covers the prepared tooth surface and distributes biting force throughout the whole restoration and tooth structure. The dentist first removes a certain amount of damaged or inadequate tooth structure to ensure enough space.After that, a digital or conventional impression is taken, and the personalized crown is created. Then it is carefully checked for marginal fit, contacts, shape, shade, bite, and finally cemented on the prepared tooth.

Types of Zirconia Crowns

Monolithic Zirconia: Single-piece zirconia restoration meant mainly for its strength and longevity.
Multilayer Zirconia: Makes use of layers with varying degrees of translucency and colors for enhanced aesthetics.
High-Translucency Zirconia: Optical properties that appear more natural for selected front teeth.
Anterior Zirconia Crown: For front teeth where shade and aesthetics are highly crucial.
Posterior Zirconia Crown: For back teeth with high resistance to biting pressures.
Zirconia Bridge: Multiple zirconias used for replacing selected teeth.
