Zirconia Razor Crowns: Aesthetics, Durability, and Origin
What are zirconia dental crowns? Simply put, zirconia dental crowns, also known as zirconia razor dental crowns, are a type of metal-free dental crown made from Zirconium Dioxide, a silicate in the same group as titanium. This material was discovered in 1789 by the German scientist M. H. Klaproth. Although the name “razor” often accompanies it, any prosthetic made from Zirconium Dioxide is actually considered a zirconia dental crown. The specific name may vary depending on the brand.
A common form of zirconia dental crowns is monolithic porcelain crowns, also known as monolithic zirconia. The translucency, hardness, and aesthetic properties of monolithic zirconia crowns are diverse, meeting various aesthetic needs.
UNC Zirconia, a leading and largest Zirconia manufacturer in Korea (UNC Korea), currently distributes this Korean dental crown product worldwide. Razor is a monolithic single-layer blank line from UNC, notable for its options in translucency, hardness, and aesthetics, offering optimal choices for each customer.
What Types of Zirconia Crowns Are Right for You?
To meet the diverse needs of customers, Zirconia dental crowns are currently manufactured in different versions, notably two main types: Full Solid Zirconia and Layered Zirconia. Each type has its own advantages, helping you choose the most optimal dental restoration solution.
Full Solid Zirconia Crowns
Full Solid Zirconia is a type of dental crown made entirely from solid Zirconia, then coated with a layer of porcelain enamel to enhance aesthetics. With this robust structure, Full Solid Zirconia boasts superior durability and extremely high load-bearing capacity. Therefore, this type of crown is often recommended by specialists for molar restorations, where significant pressure is applied during chewing.
Layered Zirconia Crowns
Developed upon the foundation of Solid Zirconia, Layered Zirconia is an improved version focused on optimizing aesthetics. While retaining the inner Zirconia framework, Layered Zirconia is coated with multiple layers of exquisite porcelain on the outside, creating a natural appearance like real teeth. However, due to this multi-layered structure, the durability and load-bearing capacity of Layered Zirconia are somewhat lower than that of Full Solid Zirconia. Therefore, this type of crown is often chosen for anterior teeth, where high aesthetic appeal is required.
Are Zirconia Razor All-Ceramic Crowns Good?
Zirconia Razor all-ceramic crowns are the top choice for those seeking a perfect, confident, and lasting smile. So, what makes Zirconia Razor win over even the most demanding customers, those who deeply care about both aesthetics and oral health? The answer lies in the following outstanding advantages:
Durability and Hardness
One of the most outstanding strengths of Zirconia Razor all-ceramic crowns is their superior durability and hardness. Recent studies have shown that this type of dental crown can withstand bending forces of up to 1200Mpa, more than 10 times that of natural teeth. Their excellent wear resistance properties and perfect adaptability to the oral environment help extend the lifespan of Zirconia Razor crowns up to 20 years if properly cared for.
Crown Color
Zirconia Razor is favored for its natural tooth color, bringing a realistic beauty like real teeth. The all-ceramic crown is specially designed not to allow light to pass through, completely eliminating the worry of revealing the framework or core inside, as is common with metal-ceramic crowns. The translucency of the crown is subtly replicated, making it look exactly like natural teeth, so it’s difficult for onlookers to distinguish between a crown and a real tooth.
Crown Gum Line
The Zirconium alloy in Zirconia Razor all-ceramic crowns has high biocompatibility with the oral cavity environment. This not only ensures that the crown’s gum line remains healthy and pink but also prevents the issue of dark gum lines, a common problem with metal-ceramic crowns. You can confidently show off your radiant smile without worrying about the gum line.
Zirconia Razor Crown Placement Procedure at My Auris Dental Clinic
At My Auris Dental Clinic, we are committed to giving you a confident and radiant smile with a professional Zirconia Razor dental crown placement procedure, strictly adhering to medical standards. Below are the detailed steps:
Dental Examination & Diagnosis
The dental crown placement process begins with a general examination of your current oral health. The dentists at My Auris Dental Clinic will thoroughly check for issues such as tooth decay, pulpitis, and other pathologies. If necessary, we will take dental X-rays to obtain detailed and accurate images, thereby proposing the most effective dental treatment plan.
Dental Consultation & Treatment Plan
Based on the examination results and X-rays (if any), the dentist will provide detailed consultation on the Zirconia Razor crown placement procedure, answer all your questions, and together with you, choose the most suitable dental crown type that aligns with your oral health, desired aesthetics, and available budget.
Oral Hygiene
Before proceeding with dental crown placement, oral hygiene is an indispensable step. The dentist will clean tartar, gingivitis, and plaque, ensuring an ideal environment for placing the dental crown.
Impression Taking
To accurately fabricate the Zirconia Razor dental crown to fit your teeth, we will meticulously take an impression of your dental arch. This impression will serve as the basis for the technician to create a dental crown that best suits your mouth and bite.
Dental Anesthesia & Tooth Preparation
In this step, the dentist will administer local anesthesia to the area where the Zirconia Razor crown is to be placed to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure. If the tooth has undergone root canal treatment previously, this step may be adjusted accordingly. After anesthesia, the dentist will proceed to prepare the tooth (tooth reduction), creating a sturdy abutment for the dental crown. This is a crucial step in dental crowning.
Crown Placement
Finally, after the Zirconia Razor dental crown is completely fabricated, the dentist will permanently cement the crown onto the prepared tooth. You will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to check the fit and function of your new dental crown.
