Zirconia crown placement in Ivano-Frankivsk

Oral and dental health is a critical aspect, as it affects the overall health of the body and a person’s aesthetic appearance. People with dental or gum problems may feel reluctant to smile in public, which can affect their confidence. For restoring both the smile and chewing function, our specialists typically suggest zirconia crowns.

Main characteristics of zirconia

What is zirconia? Zircon is a silicate mineral (zirconium is bound to silicon dioxide). Zirconium dioxide is a naturally occurring compound that is 100% biocompatible, which is why it is increasingly used in medicine, particularly in dentistry.

Zirconia has a durable structure with a shiny surface. It is completely metal-free, so it is safe for individuals with metal allergies. Thanks to its outstanding aesthetics and safety, zirconia crowns can be applied in almost all situations requiring dental restoration.

Highly qualified dentists at Masych Clinic work with the safest and highest-quality materials. In any clinical situation requiring prosthetic treatment, our specialists will select the optimal solution and the most suitable material for the fabrication of crowns, veneers, and other restorations.

Zirconia crowns are primarily recommended in the following cases:

When the patient has high aesthetic demands.
Crowns for back teeth. Because the molars and premolars endure higher chewing loads, strong zirconia crowns are perfectly suited for these restorations.
Crowns on dental implants.
For the fabrication of bridge restorations zirconia bridges are the strongest and most aesthetically pleasing option.
For patients with gum disease. Zirconia crowns have an extremely smooth surface, which helps prevent plaque and tartar buildup. However, this does not replace the need for professional dental cleanings twice a year or proper home oral hygiene.
