Ceramic Zirconia Crown

A ceramic zirconia crown is a type of dental restoration made from zirconium dioxide, a strong, biocompatible ceramic material. These crowns are often used to restore damaged or decayed teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal-based crowns. Zirconia crowns are highly resistant to wear and fractures, making them suitable for both front and back teeth. Their natural translucency allows them to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking a more natural-looking restoration. Additionally, zirconia is known for its strength and longevity, offering long-term durability without compromising on appearance. The process of creating a zirconia crown typically involves digital scanning and CAD/CAM technology, ensuring precise fit and minimal adjustment during the fitting. Overall, ceramic zirconia crowns are a popular choice for those seeking both functionality and aesthetics in their dental restoration.

Veneers

Porcelain Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. We recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing discoloration that cannot be fixed with whitening or if your teeth are damaged. Porcelain veneers are also an option if you’re unhappy with the shape or look of your natural teeth.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are the newest and increasingly popular choice for aligning teeth. The aligners are invisible and removable, making them a top choice for teenagers and adults. The system uses clear, acrylic trays that straighten teeth just like braces and are much more comfortable.

Clear aligners are nice because you can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss your teeth as normal. Clear aligners need to be worn as much as possible and need to be cleaned and adjusted regularly for optimal results.
