Full Contour Zirconia Instead of Gold

With metal prices skyrocketing Two Ocean Dental Lab continues to look at options for non-metal crowns. Recent trends have clinicians using full contour zirconia crowns to replace their full gold crown treatments for many patients. Above is a graph that defines wear characteristics compared to enamel, this is from a University of Alabama study last year. BruxZir is one of a handful of brand names for these full contour crowns.
Two Ocean Dental Lab is offering Pearl Full Contour Zirconia Crowns at a fixed $160. Pearl Zirconia is made as a monolithic restoration with 1000Mpa of flexural strength, and can be stained to match requested shades. Traditional cementing and seating techniques are permitted with this bio-compatible material. If you are concerned about the rising price of precious metals try a Pearl Full Contour crown today.
Feel free to contact us with any questions about your next fixed restoration case. Thank you for reading the Two Ocean Dental Lab blog.
