BruxZir vs. Traditional Crowns: Strength Meets Aesthetics
Dental Crowns are used to strengthen teeth that have been weakened by damage, cavities, or fractures. They help improve your tooth’s structure and make your mouth more aesthetically appealing. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials. Gold and various alloys are typically used for back teeth while porcelain is a better choice for front teeth as it more closely resembles your natural tooth color. But there’s a new player in the field of dental crowns. The BruxZir crown is made of solid zirconia and is incredibly strong while still maintaining the strength needed for chewing.
When Are BruxZir Crowns Recommended?
BruxZir crowns are an excellent option for patients who need both durability and aesthetics. They are often recommended for back teeth where chewing pressure is highest, as their solid zirconia design resists fractures and wear. Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) also benefit greatly from BruxZir crowns, since they are less likely to chip compared to porcelain alternatives. In addition, they provide a natural appearance, making them a suitable choice for patients who want strength without sacrificing a confident smile.
BruxZir vs. Other Types of Crowns
Compared to traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, BruxZir crowns offer superior strength without a dark metal line showing at the gumline. Unlike all-ceramic crowns, they resist chipping and are ideal for patients with heavy bites. Gold crowns remain strong but lack the natural appearance many patients prefer, while BruxZir crowns deliver both strength and aesthetics in one restoration. For many patients, this combination makes BruxZir a leading choice when considering long-term dental crown solutions.
