When it comes to dental restorations, choosing the right material for crowns is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. While CEREC same-day crowns offer the convenience of a quick turnaround, zirconia crowns have distinct advantages that make them a superior choice for patients. Here are five compelling reasons why zirconia same-day crowns outperform CEREC crowns:
Why Are Zirconia Crowns Stronger and More Durable?
Zirconia crowns are renowned for their exceptional strength and durability. These crowns are highly resistant to fracture and chipping, making them ideal for restoring heavily damaged or load-bearing teeth. The robustness of zirconia ensures that these crowns can better withstand the forces of chewing and grinding compared to traditional porcelain crowns, offering a more resilient and long-lasting solution.
How Do Zirconia Crowns Provide Superior Esthetics?
While CEREC crowns are made from dental-grade porcelain and are aesthetically pleasing, zirconia crowns take esthetics to the next level. Modern zirconia materials can be customized to match the natural color and translucency of teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking restoration. This advanced customization ensures that zirconia crowns blend perfectly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s overall appearance.
What Makes Zirconia Crowns Last Longer?
Thanks to their strength and resistance to wear, zirconia crowns boast a proven track record of longevity. With proper care and maintenance, zirconia crowns can last for many years, often surpassing the lifespan of traditional porcelain crowns. This long-term durability means fewer replacements and less hassle, making zirconia crowns a cost-effective choice over time.
Why Are Zirconia Crowns More Biocompatible?
Zirconia is a biocompatible material, meaning it is well-tolerated by the body and less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation in sensitive individuals. This makes zirconia crowns suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with allergies or sensitivities to other dental materials. With zirconia, patients can enjoy a comfortable and irritation-free dental restoration experience.
How Do Zirconia Crowns Ensure a Precision Fit?
While CEREC crowns are fabricated in-office using CAD/CAM technology, zirconia crowns are milled in our dental laboratory using advanced CAD/CAM systems. This allows for precise customization and fit, ensuring optimal comfort and function for the patient. The meticulous fabrication process of zirconia crowns results in a restoration that fits perfectly and feels natural, enhancing both comfort and functionality.
