What Is Zirconia?<\/h3>\r\n

Zirconia is a type of ceramic material used in dentistry because it is very strong. It does not have any metal in it which is why many people choose it when they want a crown that looks like a real tooth.<\/p>\r\n

The crown is made to match the size and shape of the tooth to it. Your dentist will also check how the crown feels when you bite down. A crown that looks good but feels off when you chew is not a choice.<\/p>\r\n

Why Dentists Use It<\/h3>\r\n

\u2022 It is strong enough for chewing though your dentist will not recommend using it to crack hard things like nutshells.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 It is metal-free which is an option for people who want a ceramic tooth restoration.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 The colour can be matched to teeth but the final look depends on the type of zirconia used.<\/p>\r\n

What Happens During Treatment?<\/h3>\r\n

The damaged part of the tooth is shaped so the crown can fit over it. You may get an anaesthetic first to keep the area comfortable during preparation.<\/p>\r\n

After that your dentist takes a record of the shape of your tooth. This information goes to a lab or a digital system where the crown is designed. A temporary crown may be placed while you wait for the one.<\/p>\r\n

The Final Fitting<\/h3>\r\n

At the appointment the zirconia crown is placed in your mouth. Your dentist checks how it fits and how your bite feels. If it feels a little high it can usually be adjusted before it is permanently fixed.<\/p>\r\n

Once the crown is in place give yourself some time to get used to it. Your tongue will probably keep touching it at first. Then you forget it\u2019s there.<\/p>\r\n
