4. To correct for ‘diastema,’ or crooked teeth, as an alternative to orthodontic treatment
5. To restore teeth with caries or that have been previously filled
6. To restore a deformed tooth
7. Can be used as a bridge or veneer for molars
8. As a front denture fixed to an implant, or implants

How long will a zirconia crown last?

• 10 to 15 years: With quality zircon materials, proper care and maintenance, zirconia crowns can last a decade or more.
• Up to 20 years: Some well-maintained zirconia crowns can last up to two decades before needing replacement.
• Potentially longer: In some cases, zirconia crowns have been known to last even longer than 20 years with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

Zirconia crowns’ lifespan depends on factors like oral hygiene, chewing habits, and patient’s overall oral health. Individual results may vary, and the longevity depends on the specific wear and tear. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices can significantly extend the lifespan of zirconia crowns.

‘’If it’s 100% Zirconia, they are almost impossible to break. If it’s porcelain fused to Zirconia, the porcelain can break if it’s not thick enough. You should be careful about low price crowns, there's a chance that they are fused with porcelain which will not be as strong as 100% Zirconia crowns.‘’

Zirconium Crown Design with CAD software

Zirconium teeth design using computer technology involves a step-by-step process that involves a patient assessment, digital impressions captured by intraoral scanners, CAD software, tooth shape and size customization, bite alignment, color matching, virtual mockup, 3D printing or milling, sintering or furnace processing, finishing and polishing, and final placement. The process ensures a precise and efficient process, resulting in high-quality restorations with excellent fit and aesthetics. Dental crowns İstanbul process includes a virtual mockup, 3D printing or milling, sintering or furnace processing, finishing and polishing, and final placement.
