Zirconia

Digital Designs Dental Lab offers two zirconia restorative options. If your patient is in need of increased strength with translucent esthetics, our full-contour zirconia is a great choice. For anterior cases that require the most esthetic choice, we recommend our layered zirconia. 

Full-Contour Zirconia

Full-contour zirconia is a monolithic crown and bridge solution. These restorations are crafted out of a single block of zirconia. It offers inherent translucency and strength. We use the latest CAD/CAM equipment to ensure that every full-contour zirconia restoration we craft offers excellent margins and contours. We fabricate both anterior and posterior full-contour zirconia crowns and bridges. We also ensure that the surfaces of these restorations are smooth, which ensures they are gentle on opposing, natural teeth.

Features:

  • High Flexural Strength
  • Lifelike Translucency
  • Fracture-Resistant
  • Gentle on Opposing Teeth

Layered Zirconia

The DDDL team crafts these crowns and bridges by layering beautiful porcelain on top of a durable, full-contour zirconia substructure. The porcelain benefits from the translucency of the zirconia, and layered zirconia crowns offer a warmer appearance than porcelain-fused-to-metal alternatives. They also provide an overall improved appearance compared to PFMs, which may sometimes present esthetic challenges like discoloration or dark lines along the gingiva.

Features:

  • Lifelike Esthetics
  • Natural Translucency
  • Accurate Fit
  • Esthetic Alternative to PFMs
