A temporary tooth restoration procedure known as a crown is popular. It involves covering findings of corrosion, significant discoloration, and fractures on natural tooth structures. There are various oral restorative materials for fixing surgical procedures. The most common materials used are metals, porcelain, resin, and ceramics. Zirconia is growing in popularity due to its many acknowledged advantages.

Why should you Get a Zirconia Crown?

Several factors may cause your teeth to wear down and break. Your dentist may use a dental crown to replace several oral issues. The most common are:

• Preventing fractures on a weak tooth
• Keeping a tooth together when it's in bad shape
• Improving the look of your smile
• Restoring a broken or worn-down tooth
• Improving your bite
• Covering large fillings, dental implants, and root canals
• Capping misshapen or discoloured teeth

Zirconia is a relatively new material for dental restorative procedures. It is a type of ceramic, or simply Zirconium Oxide, which is stronger than porcelain and some metal alloys, and it is less likely to develop sharp edges from the usual wear-and-tear that happens over time.

Zirconia crowns tend to cause less disruption and damage to neighbouring teeth than ceramic crowns are inclined to. The latter will act like coarse sandpaper whenever you shell away against it, and this might result in the erosion of your enamel. These are the reasons why your dentists might recommend that you get a zirconia crown instead of ceramic.

Advantages of Getting a Zirconia Crown

• Most durable monolithic ceramic.
• More split-resistant, stiffer, and stronger. When compared to glass ceramics and dental composite
• Hinder cracking and chipping of surrounding teeth and the one underneath the crown.
• Provides a better shielding capacity
• Better Stain Resistance
• Temperature Resistance
• Hypoallergenic Properties
• Original Tooth Preservation

Disadvantages of Using Zirconia for Dental Crowns

• It isn't easy to match with your real teeth.
• Requires coating it in other material blends to give a more natural look.
• Have translucency issues.
• Debonding problems as well.

If you choose to use zirconia crowns, your doctor will be able to consult the material's pros and cons to be sure it is the best-suited material. Zirconium crowns can withstand the test of time well while considering their potential disadvantages and limitations.
