Cosmetic (Zirconia) Crowns
Do you have an ugly eyesore of a crown?
Perhaps it is starting to go grey around the gumline?
Why not replace it with an all ceramic porcelain zirconia crown and make your smile more natural again.
NEW ZIRCONIA CROWN
Many of the older style crowns done years ago were made of porcelain fused to a greyish metal (PFM) lining. PFMs often had a very dull opaque look to them and would sometimes have a grey appearance around the gumline due to the metal showing through the thin porcelain. This may be acceptable on a back tooth where it is out of sight but is not aesthetically acceptable on a high visibility front tooth.
Zirconia crowns are the all ceramic alternative made totally out of a specially toughened porcelain. All zirconia ceramic crowns have an excellent cosmetic appearance without the grey gumline problem as is evident in the previous photos of a case done at Duncraig Dental Care.
