Ceramic Crowns in Keizer OR are the perfect tool to reconstruct a smile when teeth are rundown. These aesthetic ceramic prostheses replace the entire crown of the natural tooth (that is to say the visible part of the tooth) when it has been partially or totally destroyed by tooth decay or trauma. A crown is an aesthetic dental prosthesis which enhances the appearance and function of the tooth. The use of ceramic crowns is the most common and most effective solution. With a dental crown, the shape of the tooth surface is completely restored.
All-ceramic crowns
Cosmetic ceramic crowns are made entirely of ceramic without metal reinforcement. Aesthetic ceramic Crowns in Keizer OR happen when the ceramic frame is “injected” into a mold from a wax pattern like for metal frames. Cosmetic crowns can be placed either on natural teeth or on implants replacing tooth roots extracted in the past. This is called an “implant crown.” All-ceramic crowns are particularly suitable for anterior teeth so they do not look like “dentures” but rather “teeth” that no one will suspect as false.
Zirconia crowns
Zirconia Crowns in Keizer OR are structured as a conventional ceramic crown on metal armature. The only difference is this frame is zirconia. It is then covered with a veneering material as metal reinforcement. Dental aesthetics is the biggest advantage of zirconia-based crowns. It has the advantage of being a lighter color and there are less technical problems.
The zirconium oxide is a combination of oxygen with a zirconium element. It is a very strong and rigid material. Its excellent biocompatibility and aesthetics make it a perfect choice for the development of high quality dentures. Single crowns, bridges and intra-coronary reconstructions (inlay core) can also be made of zirconium oxide. Dentists use CAD-CAM technology, the origin of zirconia crown technology.
Metal-ceramic crowns
Metal-ceramic Crowns in Keizer OR are made on an invisible metal frame covered as ceramic veneering. They are particularly suitable for restoring posterior teeth often devitalized, but also suitable for anterior teeth. Dental crowns can help restore a beautiful smile.
