What are zirconia crowns?
Dental crowns are cups placed over prepared teeth to replace damaged enamel and inner layers. A crown fully covers the visible parts of the tooth, so it must be durable to resist the pressure caused by chewing and be natural-looking to visually fit with untreated teeth.
A zirconia crown consists of zirconia, fully or partially. Zirconia is an opaque ceramic. It is very durable and usually has a white color. The durability of zirconia is five times that of conventional dental porcelain, so it has a longer service life and retains its appearance better.
Zirconia crown types
There are several types of dental zirconia crowns in Mexico. The first type is monolithic zirconia crowns. These crowns are made out of a single piece of ceramic, so they have a uniform color. They are divided into LT and HT crowns. LT means low translucency, while HT is high translucency. The next type is multilayered crowns. They are made of several layers of ceramic. Each layer can be colored into different shades. It allows the dentist to replicate the uneven coloration of natural teeth. In most patients, a tooth is slightly more yellow near the root.
A dentist can make a layer near the neck of the tooth more yellow to simulate the natural yellowing. Zirconia fused to porcelain is another popular type of zirconia crown. This type has a core of the crown made of zirconia to provide durability. The outer layer is made from another type of ceramic. This construction allows the crown to be more durable while providing an appearance that can’t be achieved with an all-zirconia crown.
What is the cost of zirconia crowns at Mexicodent?
The cost of crown installation treatments depends on the type and number of crowns required by the patient. At our clinic in Mexico, the average cost is $350. This cost includes all the necessary medications and supplies. The lower cost of dental treatments in Mexico is caused by affordable living costs in the country, making local labor less expensive, so you don’t need to worry about quality. Even though our treatments cost less, the low price is not due to cheaper materials or worse service.
USA VS Mexico
Are you a good candidate for dental crown installation in Mexico?
A good candidate for ceramic dental crowns is somebody who:
- Needs to restore a severely damaged tooth or teeth
- Is ineligible for porcelain fused to metal crowns due to allergy to metal
- Wants to restore the full function of a tooth that had a root canal therapy
- Wants to replace a crown installed during dental implant installation
How are zirconia crowns made?
To install a crown, your dentist will shave down your damaged tooth to make space for the cup. The tooth will look like a small stub after shaving. This is no cause for concern, as the crown will fully replace the removed material. The doctor will then make a scan or impression of your teeth. It will be used as a base for making the crown fit with the other teeth. The crown is designed using CAD software and is carved by a computer-controlled tool for maximum precision.
After making the crown, the dentist will place it on the prepared tooth without cementing it to check if it fits with the other teeth. After making any necessary adjustments, the crown is polished to make the zirconia less abrasive. Otherwise, the material can damage the dental enamel of surrounding teeth.
Zirconia crowns advantages
Zirconia crowns have many advantages over alternatives. They have high aesthetic value due to their appealing color and stain resistance. They are more durable than conventional ceramics. The material properties of zirconia make it more resistant to cracking and chipping, so these crowns are suitable for patients with bruxism. Zirconia is a non-allergenic material that does not react with the patient’s body or food. Dental prostheses made of ceramic do not influence the taste of food and drinks, unlike metal-containing crowns.
