Ask your dentist about TRANSLUCENT
Metal-FREE Zirconia Crowns and Bridges, the state-of-the-art in
cosmetic dentistry, producing the brightest, most natural and
longest lasting dental restorations available.
Zirconia is the strongest and most translucent structure for
crowns or bridges, stronger than steel. Make sure your dentists
uses Zirconia for a brighter, whiter, and more natural smile, and
dental work that lasts a lifetime!
Zirconia is a modern dental ceramic replacement for the metal
substructures used under porcelain crowns and bridges. CRYSTAL
brand Dental Zirconia is also translucent, which gives the
overlaid procelain a brighter more natural look. Because of it's
stronger-than-steel properties,
Zirconia has been used for decades on the space shuttle and on the
new high-tech brakes on German sports cars and other industrial
applications |

WHAT IS DENTAL ZIRCONIA |
| |
|
Sometimes called “white steel,” zirconia is a ceramic material
that has been used to create substructures in cosmetic dentistry
to give crowns and bridges a whiter brighter more translucent
quality. Zirconia is 100% biocompatible and is the preferred
material for numerous medical applications
including strong long-lasting artificial hip joints.Previously
Zirconia was used in fashion jwellery and now in Dentistry
Crowns and bridges based on Zirconia are the strongest and most
aesthetically translucent restorations available in dentistry
today -- up to five times stronger than all-porcelain
restorations, nothing looks more like natural teeth. |

Why is Translucency Important? |
| |
 |
In the past, most crowns and bridges have been
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM). These restorations, built on a
dark metal alloy base, tend to look opaque and monochromatic, with
a darker grayness at the gum line. All ceramic dental restorations
made with Zirconia matches the appearance and translucency of
natural teeth. |
|
| |
What Does "Biocompatible" Mean?
Zirconia is 100% biocompatible and because the body does not
reject zirconia, this material is the preferred modern
material for ALL medical applications. Unlike amalgams and metal
alloys used in the dentistry in the past,the body accepts zirconia
as a natural material, so you don’t have to worry about allergies
or adverse reactions.
