Zirconia crowns and bridges are advanced dental restorations that offer both strength and a natural appearance. They are made from a material called zirconia, which is known for its durability and resemblance to natural teeth.

Indications: Zirconia crowns are recommended for teeth that need substantial restoration due to decay, cracks, or after root canals. They are also a great option for teeth that require cosmetic improvement, such as covering discolored or misshapen teeth. Zirconia bridges are used when one or more adjacent teeth are missing, providing a stable and aesthetic solution.

Procedure: The process involves preparing the tooth/teeth by removing any damaged portions. Dr. Haffar and his team at Point Place Dental Care (located at 4611 N Summit St, Toledo, OH 43611) use an advanced intraoral scanner, a device that takes precise 3D images of your teeth. These images are used to create a customized zirconia crown or bridge. You’ll wear a temporary restoration while the permanent one is crafted in a dental laboratory. Once ready, the zirconia crown or bridge is securely placed, restoring your smile’s function and beauty.

By using an intraoral scanner and offering zirconia restorations, Dr. Haffar and his team ensure accurate and comfortable procedures, enhancing your dental experience. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene will help your zirconia crowns and bridges last for years, maintaining your oral health and confident smile.
