Zirconia Crowns In A day

Zirconia Crowns In A day is one of the great breakthroughs in digital dentistry. The are only a handful of dentists in the country who employ CEREC technology, Dr. Ari Greenspan being the first. Let’s discuss Zirconia Crowns In A day.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia is a new form of dental material that allows us to mill it into a crown using CAD-Cam technology. We take a three dimensional image of the teeth, design that crown or bridge and then mill it on the spot. Zirconia oxide is a synthesized material that is exceptionally hard and has optical qualities similar to tooth. It has many advantages over standard porcelain fused to metal crowns, namely: esthetics, durability, strength and hardness as well as high biologic compatibility. Because it is milled and not cast in metal from a wax mold, there are virtually no discrepancies in fit. Until recently, the only way to get such a material for a crowns was through the traditionall’impression method. Another complication is that the zirconia is milled in an unfinished relatively soft states. It must then be finished and required hours and hours in an oven for a process known as sintering. The sintering requires special equipment that dentists don’t have.

Except in our office. We have recently started being one of  just a handful of dentists in the entire country with the ability and equipment to produce Zirconia Crowns In A day using new and advanced technologies that reduce the sintering time.

The  Inlab dental laboratory system is not really used by dentists because of the complexity. We wanted the ability to control every aspect of our lab work to ensure perfection. As a result, we now own a 5 axis sophisticated milling unit and the special ovens necessary to make Zirconia Crowns In A day.
