Warren, NJ, Feb. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Susanna Kayserman D.D.S. of Warren Smile Center provides Zirconia /Porcelain Crowns in Warren, New Jersey, so patients can start off their New Year with a spark that will last long after the year's end. Advances in dental technology are constantly improving the procedures and treatments that patients may enjoy. Dr. Kayserman remains on the forefront of these advances, offering the longest-lasting, most natural-looking crowns currently available.
Traditional crowns are full porcelain or metal fused to porcelain, and although they provide an excellent functional treatment, your smile will lose its sparkle. The Zirconia & Porcelain Crowns that Dr. Susanna Kayserman offers at Warren Smile Center, on the other hand, provide longer-lasting aesthetic capability. The Zirconium crowns are 5X stronger than porcelain. This advanced crowning material remains white and natural looking longer than full porcelain due to the added component of Zirconia, allowing for a more beautiful, healthier, and longer-lasting cosmetic restoration.
Patients are often discouraged to discover that their porcelain/metal crown has turned gray after a few years. The full tooth may appear a few shades darker and the tooth may also darken near the gum line, revealing the tooth as unnatural. This grayness is unavoidable and occurs during all porcelain/metal crowns because of the metal framework needed to support the tooth. Zirconia & Porcelain Crowns, on the other hand, are comprised of a stronger material than porcelain, like metal, so a metal framework is unnecessary. The absence of a metal framework completely eliminates the risk of developing a gray appearance as time passes. The Zirconia in the crown material allows it to support itself, providing patients with a gorgeous, natural-looking restoration that lasts both functionally and aesthetically for five to ten years.
The absence of a metal framework also eliminates the risk of an allergic reaction. The metal framework necessary to support metal/porcelain crowns can be difficult to achieve for patients who are highly allergic to the metal alloy used in the crown. Since Zirconia & Porcelain Crowns do not use a metal framework, they are ideal for allergy-risk patients due to their biocompatibility. This material is not rejected by the human body. Another advantage of this material is less tooth removal, which will diminish the chances of needing a root canal in the future. Dr. Susanna Kayserman will easily place the Zirconia & Porcelain Crown over the affected tooth, achieving the functional treatment of a traditional crown with the added strength, health, and aesthetic benefits of zirconia. Although Zirconia & Porcelain Crowns use a stronger and longer-lasting material, the procedure is identical to receiving full porcelain crowns.
Crowning becomes necessary when a tooth is so decayed that it can longer support a filling, inlay, or onlay. This procedure can be achieved in two separate appointments. Dr. Kayserman will treat the afflicted tooth during the first appointment, removing all the decayed enamel, cleaning the cavity, and preparing the tooth for the crown. An impression is made once the tooth is cleaned and shaped, and this impression is sent to the lab. The lab will custom create the patient's crown by milling it from a block of crystal, and during the second appointment, Dr. Kayserman will fit the crown permanently over the natural tooth.
