What is the difference of zirconia crown from other crowns? in Antalya Dental Center-Clinic / Turkey

How is zirconia different from other crowns?

There are main differences between zirconia crowns and other crowns and treatments, such as:

Material: Zirconia is a unique kind of ceramic that is well-known for its strength and durability, and zirconia crowns are comprised of this material. Other types of crowns, such as those made of porcelain or metal, are made of different materials and may have different properties.

Appearance: Zirconia crowns can be customized to match your natural teeth's color so they look completely natural when you smile. Other types of crowns, such as those made of porcelain or metal, may have a different appearance and may not match the color of your natural teeth as closely.

Durability: Zirconia crowns are less prone to shatter or chip than other types of crowns because of their strength and longevity.

Staining: Zirconia crowns are resistant to staining and do not easily pick up or retain stains from food, drink, or tobacco. Other types of crowns, such as those made of porcelain or metal, may be more prone to staining.

Tooth decay: Compared to natural teeth, zirconia crowns are less prone to developing cavities and are resistant to tooth decay. Other types of crowns may be more prone to tooth decay.

Zirconia crowns are a strong and durable option for dental restorations that can provide good esthetic results. They may be a good choice for patients who want a natural-looking crown that is resistant to staining and tooth decay.

Does zirconia tooth decay?

Zirconia is a non-porous material, which means that it does not have any microscopic pores or surface irregularities that can trap bacteria or promote tooth decay. As a result, zirconia crowns are resistant to tooth decay and are less likely to develop cavities compared to natural teeth.

However, it is still important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid consuming sugary or acidic foods and drinks, as these can potentially cause tooth decay and damage the crown.

While zirconia crowns guard against dental decay, it is still important to take care of your oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly to ensure the best possible outcomes and maintain good oral health.
