Prosthetics is a technology that has been used in dentistry for many years to restore teeth that have been damaged or lost for various reasons. To recreate the beauty and functions of the tooth, different types of prosthetic and orthopedic structures are used, which can be made from a variety of materials. One of the newest options is Zirconium Crowns in Dubai.
What Are Zirconia Crowns?
These prostheses are orthopedic structures made from a unique material called zirconia. The material is obtained from the mineral, which has a bright white colour and is very durable. For prosthetics, pure material is not used; it always contains additive materials. Due to the natural properties of the base material and additives, dental zirconium acquires high strength, hypoallergenic, and biologically compatible characteristics.
Results:
They provide an entirely natural look due to light transmittance. The prosthetics appear pretty lively and prevent plaque formation on the teeth due to smooth and shiny surfaces.
Benefits:
Like any other prosthetics, these have some advantages and some disadvantages. Following are some of the advantages:
Lightweight: Due to this quality, the finished crown is lightweight and ideal for restorations on implants.
Aesthetics: Incredible aesthetics allow a single restoration with a zirconia crown in the previous area.
Minimal damage: Optional removal of spare teeth. The installation does not require removing a significant enamel layer from the abutment.
Tight fit: The placement of crowns and oral gills eliminates gingival retraction, root exposure, and oral soft tissue swelling.
Durability: Zirconium crowns have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years.
Ideal Candidate:
The best candidate for treatment is someone having the following conditions:

Attractive appearance: These crowns are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth; up close, they have a colour and transparency as close as possible to natural tooth enamel.
Durability: Zirconium crowns are more robust than ceramic crowns and withstand stable and moderately heavy loads, so they are ideal for restoring any tooth in a row.

Light and thin: When installing them, it is not necessary to grind down the enamel on the abutment teeth.
Zirconia Crown (FAQ’s):
How Long Will Zirconia Crown Last?
With proper oral care and supervision through regular visits to the dentist, Zirconia Crowns can last anywhere between 15-20 years. Due to their toughness, they have a lesser chance of chipping off or breaking under pressure when compared with their porcelain counterparts.
Is Zirconia Good For Front Teeth?
Zirconia Crowns are tough and are usually used at the back as those teeth have the most grinding job, however, due to advances in modern technology, metal crowns fused with porcelain can be used to provide more natural-looking and durable front teeth.
Does Zirconia Wear Natural Teeth?

Can I Eat After Zirconia Crown?
You can eat an hour after getting your Zirconia Crowns, however, avoid using the crown immediately and chew from the other side. Try to avoid exerting pressure on your crown for at least a couple of weeks and don’t eat sticky and chewy foods during this time.
Can A Zirconia Crown Be Removed?
Diamond Bur or Er: YAG laser removal is recommended for Zirconia Crowns as they are hard and are usually cemented to last a lifetime. In rare cases where removal is required, consider visiting the clinic where you received treatment.
Can The Zirconia Crown Be Repaired?
