Zirconia is Long-Lasting and Biocompatible

If you’re struggling with missing teeth and looking for tooth replacement solutions, you’ve come to the right practice. Dr. Tal Wilkins has training and experience creating different types of customized tooth replacement options—including dental implant zirconia bridges in Aiken, SC. Zirconia is made of zirconium dioxide, which offers the highest mechanical strength and fracture resistance of all non-metallic materials. As such, zirconium oxide offers many advantages compared to traditional dental materials. A zirconia bridge is a long-lasting, biocompatible protocol with excellent aesthetics. Compared to other materials, plaque tends to accumulate less around zirconia bridges, thereby reducing the risk of gum disease and increasing the lifespan of your restoration. Zirconia is an ideal material to replace one or several missing teeth, as well as a great option if you need a full arch zirconia implant bridge in Aiken, SC. Zirconia restorations are milled from a solid block of zirconia with CAD/CAM technology, so in some cases, a basic bridge can be delivered in a few hours, instead of the customary seven to 14 days.

Superior Strength for Long-Term Function

A zirconia fixed bridge in Aiken, SC offers 10 times the strength as natural tooth enamel! Zirconia is also incredibly dense and smooth, so it won’t cause wear to adjacent natural teeth or existing crowns. Traditional dentures and some hybrids are made by securing porcelain teeth to an acrylic base. Studies have shown that this type of prosthesis is susceptible to various complications, including fractures, chips, scratches, dislodging of the denture teeth, acrylic wear and accumulation of plaque, food and debris. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) is another option for crowns and bridges, however, this material also has drawbacks. The inner metal layer can cause a visible gray line along your gums and the porcelain coating on the metal can wear, chip or break. When you receive a zirconia bridge at Center for Dentistry, you won’t have to worry about these issues. A bridge fabricated from zirconia offers a significantly stronger bite force without fracturing. Unlike traditional bridges, a dental implant zirconia bridge replaces the tooth roots, thereby preserving underlying bone and stimulating new growth. When you get a full arch zirconia implant bridge in Aiken, SC secured with dental implants , this will help prevent the “sunken-in” facial appearance associated with traditional dentures.

Zirconia Offers Excellent Aesthetics

In addition to its unrivalled strength, a bridge made from zirconia has the color and translucency of natural teeth. It’s important to visit a skilled cosmetic dentist to customize a zirconia restoration because the quality and aesthetics can vary greatly. Dr. Tal Wilkins has the right skills and technologies to customize a beautiful zirconia bridge that complements your facial features, gum and lip line and even your skin tone.
