Zirconia crowns are one of the most preferred dental treatments today due to their durability and aesthetic appearance, which closely resembles natural teeth. However, the quality of the zirconia blocks used in this treatment directly affects the success of the results. Crowns made with low-quality blocks may seem like an aesthetic solution in the short term, but they pose serious risks to the patient’s health and satisfaction in the long term.
One of the biggest problems is color stability. Low-quality zirconium blocks may yellow or become dull over time and become incompatible with natural teeth. In addition, crowns made from low-density blocks are less resistant to chewing forces. This increases the risk of cracking or breaking, especially in the back areas.
Another important issue is biocompatibility. The raw materials used in low-quality blocks may not be fully compatible with gum tissue. This can lead to gum recession, inflammation, and, in the long term, implant or natural tooth loss.
At Swissmed Dental, we use only zirconium blocks that are globally proven and of the highest quality. The crowns are prepared in our clinic’s own digital laboratory using advanced technology devices. This ensures the most reliable results, both aesthetically and functionally. Furthermore, digital planning and trial processes allow us to show the patient the most suitable color and shape in advance, ensuring a transparent treatment process.
As a result, the use of low-quality blocks in zirconium dental crown treatment can lead to serious problems such as color mismatch, risk of breakage, and gum issues. Swissmed Dental works exclusively with high-quality zirconium blocks to provide its patients with long-lasting and aesthetic solutions.
