Zirconia Solid
CROWNS & BRIDGES I ALL CERAMICS
Zirconia Solid
Zirconia has a comparable flexural strength of traditional PFM restorations while maintaining a natural and vibrant translucency. Zirconia Solid is 100% metal-free, a feature that prevents gingival darkening and removes the possibility of exposing metallic margins if gum recession begins. They are naturally esthetic, transmit the color of adjacent teeth, and can be matched to any shade. Zirconia Solid is one of the strongest restorations available for any patient who may have bruxing or grinding issues. Utilizing CAD/CAM technology, it also has a precise marginal fit that can significantly reduce chair time. Since traditional cementation is recommended, there is no need to bond the restoration.
