Nowadays, as people pay more attention to oral health, dental restoration materials are also constantly innovating and developing. In recent years, non-metallic restoration materials have been increasingly used in the field of dental restoration. Among them, zirconia discs, which have the characteristics of high strength, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, are widely favored by dentists and patients for their superior performance. Then in this blog article, we will explore the materials.

Modern Zirconia Teeth vs. Traditional Porcelain Teeth

Strongness

For a long time, the fastest and most effective way to repair teeth has always been porcelain teeth. Traditional porcelain teeth are prone to porcelain collapse, which is also one of the reasons why many people criticize it. The main reason for the collapse of traditional porcelain teeth is that the porcelain powder is too thin. When eating hard or sticky food, porcelain collapse will occur, exposing the base color of the metal, and affecting the appearance.

Natural Look

Traditional porcelain teeth are not only inferior to zirconia teeth in strength but also have adverse reactions to the human body. Long-term use will cause the gums to turn black and bleed, and in severe cases, gum atrophy will occur. Zirconia is used to repair teeth, which is not only very realistic and beautiful in appearance, but also will not have black lines on the neck of the teeth, which will damage the gums and perfectly blend with the gums. More importantly, patients do not need to remove their dentures when undergoing head X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and other examinations in the future.

Биосовместимость

Many people who are not in the industry will be confused. Zirconium is obviously a metal, so why is zirconia, not a metal? In fact, zirconia discs only contain metal elements, not metal, but a type of oxide ceramic. Therefore, they will not damage the gums like metal materials when worn for a long time. A large number of clinical cases have proved that zirconium teeth have no toxic damage to human soft tissue cells, have good compatibility with the human body, do not irritate the gums, and will not cause oral diseases.

Gradient Technology

Zirconium oxide also takes into account the aesthetics of the front teeth restoration. They not only retain the original hardness of zirconium oxide in the production, but also completely replicate natural teeth in color and transparency. The hybrid inter-gradient technology is used to produce natural gradient layers of dentin and enamel, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

In conclusion

All in all, zirconia discs have proven to be a game-changer in the field of dental restorations. With their exceptional durability, natural aesthetics, and biocompatibility, they offer a superior alternative to traditional materials. As dental technology continues to advance, zirconia discs are set to play an increasingly vital role in providing patients with long-lasting, beautiful tooth repairs.
