Zirconium Crowns Q & A
What is a zirconium crown?
Traditional ceramic crowns match the color of the teeth but are not very durable. Zirconium crowns are ceramic crowns that had added zirconia, which results in a crown with exceptional strength. They can last as long as 15 years.
Who needs zirconium crowns?
We use them on children’s teeth when they are so severely decayed that a filling cannot provide complete correction. We also use them when teeth are cracked or broken. On permanent teeth, they can hide discoloration and support bridges.
How is a zirconium crown placed?
The tooth is prepped in whatever way best suits the condition being treated. After that, we shape the teeth or build a foundation, then take an impression to make the crown. Once it is ready, we place it on the tooth. We can complete this all in one visit.
How do I take care of my child’s crown?
There is nothing special you need to do. Just brush and floss like always and feed your child a healthy diet.
