What are all-ceramic teeth?

An all-porcelain tooth is a porcelain restoration that covers the entire surface of the crown and does not contain a metal inner crown. Because of the use of high-strength porcelain material similar to the colour of the teeth, so compared to the metal base porcelain restorations more beautiful, semi-transparent and natural teeth similar to the restoration of the edge of the gums after the performance of a more natural, can achieve the effect of simulation, and no stimulation of the surrounding tissues.

Why many doctors recommend zirconium dioxide all-porcelain teeth

1.High Density, High Strength

Although there is no metal support, zirconium dioxide all-ceramic teeth have high strength, edge density and high precision. They possess a high bending strength, with currently registered domestic material strength values reaching 900MPa or even more, far exceeding the national dental material standards. 

2.Good Aesthetic Effect

All-porcelain teeth colour similar to natural teeth, good biocompatibility, does not stimulate oral tissues, easy to clean, both to restore the function of the teeth, but also cosmetic effect. The main thing is that all-porcelain teeth have good transparency and refractive properties, will not appear in the neck of the tooth black line, so that the neck of the tooth can also achieve a good aesthetic effect, which is unmatched by metal porcelain teeth. 

3.Strong Reliability

No metal odour, when contacting with air, water or any other electrolyte, it will produce micro-oxidation film rapidly, which not only avoids metal corrosion, but also prevents the production of metal odour. In addition, non-metallic zirconium dioxide does not block X-rays, so it will not affect imaging when doing cranial X-rays, CT, and MRI in the future, and there is no need to remove the dentures, which saves a lot of trouble.

4.Good Biocompatibility

Zirconium dioxide is an excellent high-tech biomaterial with good biocompatibility, superior to various metal alloys, including gold. Zirconium dioxide on the gums without stimulation, no allergic reaction is very suitable for application in the oral cavity, to avoid the metal in the oral cavity to produce allergies, irritation, corrosion and other adverse reactions.

What factors will affect the life of all-porcelain teeth

1.All-Porcelain Teeth Materials

Subdivision of words, all-porcelain dental materials there are many kinds of different material characteristics, prices will be different, generally speaking, the price is a little more expensive certainly use a little longer. However, it can not be too absolute, suitable for their own is the best, and resolutely put an end to poor quality all-porcelain teeth.

2.The Doctor's Level of Operation and Technical Skills

After all, the material is one thing, the doctor's operation is equally important, so we often say, do dental surgery must choose the regular medical institutions, looking for technically sound clinically experienced professional dentist most reliable.

3.The Patient's Own Dental Conditions

4.Daily Use and Care

Daily use, every day to drink rice and every day with it to gnaw bone that is certainly not the same, even if our own teeth to avoid excessive wear, let alone all-porcelain teeth, so some of the user's improper dental habits must be corrected, such as: open the bottle of wine, mouth tearing bags, stoned nuts, etc., with the help of tools or tools.

In addition, the usual cleaning care should also be done, at least twice a day brushing can not save, regular oral maintenance (such as scaling, oral examination, etc.) is indispensable to maintain periodontal health, to create a healthy and clean mouth, for the extension of the service life of the all-porcelain teeth plays a key role. Of course, the maintenance of oral health need not be overkill, such as: brushing too hard, interdental brush, mouthwash and other frequent use.
