Learn about Cercon porcelain teeth

Cercon porcelain teeth are a line of metal-free porcelain teeth or called high-quality all-ceramic teeth produced by Dentsply Sirona Group, Germany. Germany is one of the world’s leading countries in the dental industry, so Cercon porcelain teeth possess many outstanding advantages. 

Porcelain teeth are composed of 2 parts, in which, the frame inside the porcelain tooth is made from Zirconium Oxide which is many times harder than real teeth. In particular, the porcelain layer covering the porcelain teeth is an exclusive cercon porcelain invented by Dentsply Sirona. Therefore, porcelain teeth have the same natural beauty as real teeth, bringing high aesthetics in use. 

Moreover, cercon porcelain teeth are also crafted using modern, advanced CAD/CAM technology to help porcelain teeth have accurate proportions in shape and size. When fitted to real teeth, it is extremely tight and limits the occurrence of dental diseases. 

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Cercon metal-free porcelain teeth? 

Many customers when learning about Cercon porcelain teeth, if they do not research carefully, will easily be confused or confused. Because Cercon porcelain teeth are divided into 2 types: Cercon zirconia and Cercon HT. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, therefore, if you want to find out what are the pros and cons of Cercon metal-free porcelain teeth, you need to carefully study each type of Cercon porcelain. 

Cercon zirconia porcelain teeth 

Cercon zirconia porcelain teeth have a frame made from High-grade Zirconium Oxide. This material has high hardness and high compatibility, so it brings many advantages when restoring.

• Good bearing capacity, extremely durable: porcelain teeth are fired at high temperatures so they are many times harder than real teeth. 
• High aesthetics: porcelain teeth are skillfully crafted so they have the correct shape and size, as natural as real teeth. Along with that, the color of porcelain teeth is alsoAs clear and naturally bright as real teeth, providing high aesthetics.
• Good biocompatibility: the material that makes porcelain teeth is benign and safe, so it does not cause allergies or irritation in the oral cavity environment.
• Porcelain teeth have the ability to be closely grafted to the gums, so that the gap between the gums and the porcelain teeth is not open and food is not trapped. From there, there is no bad breath and no conditions for disease to arise.
• Durable over time, difficult to wear in the oral cavity environment 
• Ceramic teeth are metal-free so they do not oxidize and do not cause blackening of the gum line after a period of use. 

Cercon zirconia ceramic dental crowns are highly appreciated for their aesthetics, safety and durability for users. However, there is also a limitation: the price is quite high compared to other all-ceramic teeth. Because the material used to make Cercon porcelain teeth is rare, it comes at a high cost. 

Cercon porcelain teeth HT

If you are wondering and finding out what the pros and cons of cercon metal-free porcelain teeth are, you can look for HT cercon porcelain teeth. This is a porcelain line that is considered a “more advanced” version than cercon zirconia porcelain teeth. 

This porcelain tooth has a frame made from Zirconia Dioxide – a material many times harder than real teeth. These porcelain teeth offer many outstanding advantages over cercon zirconia porcelain teeth:

• Preserves real teeth, reduces tooth grinding: this layer of porcelain teeth has a thickness of only 0.3-0.5mm, which is quite thin, so when covering porcelain teeth, the doctor will not need to grind teeth too much. From there, preserve real teeth as much as possible. 
• High aesthetics: cercon HT porcelain teeth are more transparent, less opaque than cercon zirconia porcelain teeth, so they are more aesthetically pleasing and more natural. 
• Durability and hardness: porcelain teeth can withstand a chewing force of up to 900 Mpa, many times higher than real teeth, so not only choose to restore incisors, but you can also choose to restore molars to still ensure good chewing. The durability of Cercon HT porcelain teeth is highly appreciated, they can be used for up to 15-20 years. 
• High biocompatibility, benign and safe materialcompletely in the oral cavity environment so it does not cause allergies or irritation in the oral cavity. 
• When installing Cercon HT ceramic crowns, the fit between the crown, gums and root canal is up to 50 Micro, almost perfect. From there, prevent food leaks that cause bad breath and disease. 
• This is a non-metal ceramic line so it does not oxidize and cause blackening of the gum line. 

With so many advantages, perhaps everyone can guess that the biggest disadvantage of Cercon HT porcelain teeth is that the price is not low. However, it can be said that “you get what you pay for”, quality porcelain teeth will last a long time without needing to change porcelain teeth many times. 

Can be an example: when choosing metal-free porcelain teeth, the cost is: 3,000,000 VND if it is not durable, after a few years you will have to replace the new porcelain crown. This cost is sometimes even higher than a quality Cercon porcelain crown. 

In addition, Cercon porcelain teeth generally have a transparent Zirconia frame, so they cannot completely cover the previously discolored tooth roots. Therefore, customers need to whiten their real teeth before getting this porcelain crown for better, more aesthetic results. 

, perhaps everyone has more experience choosing the right porcelain tooth line. However, no matter which type of porcelain you choose, everyone should pay attention to how to care for it to maintain the aesthetics and long-term durability of porcelain teeth. Because no matter how durable porcelain teeth are, if not well cared for, they will quickly degrade, get damaged, chipped,… Therefore, with a reasonable diet, limiting stimulants, dark foods, lots of sugar, foods that are too hard, too flexible, porcelain teeth will maintain a longer lifespan. 

After porcelain restoration, still eat normally, with a variety of foods, prioritizing vegetables and fruits,…

In addition, when eating, chew gently and evenly on both sides of the jaw. Cercon porcelain teeth will reduce their lifespan if they frequently collide strongly with hard objects. 

About oral hygiene 

Proper oral hygiene is the way to maintain the beauty and longevity of Cercon porcelain teeth. Brush your teeth regularly every day with the right size toothbrush, appropriate toothpaste, and soft bristles.

Perform gentle brushing vertically to easily remove plaque from teeth without causing abrasion of porcelain teeth. For better health, you can use dental floss, water floss, mouthwash, and salt water to effectively remove plaque, kill bacteria, and clean the oral cavity.
