CBS Ch2: Zirconia in Dentistry
Dr. Katherine Ahn was just featured on CBS Ch 2 with a story on the use of Zirconia in dentistry, an advanced dental material that is giving dentists the option of restoring patients’ smile “metal free”.
Cosmetic dentistry is becoming ever more popular and consumers are driving the dentists to create smiles that dazzle and stand out.
If you have front teeth that are mostly intact but is dark, irregular or worn, thin porcelain veneers that partially cover just the outer part of the teeth can transform your smile conservatively and beautifully.
However, if your teeth have undergone root canal therapy, implant therapy or requires a full coverage crown or bridge, your chance of having a life-like sparkling smile is almost impossible with the traditional porcelain fused to metal restorations.
Metal based restorations have several drawbacks, especially when they are being used for restoring the front teeth. Metal based restorations tend to look flat, opaque or grayish since light cannot pass through the metal. Some metal based restorations can cause allergic responses or tissue inflammatory responses.
Recent technology from Germany now offers a material that has overcome most of the pitfalls of present day products. Patients now have a choice of a material that is aesthetic, strong, pure and biocompatible.
Selecting the right dental material, creating proper smile design and working with a talented lab technicians are all necessary for a successful restoration that can make everyone SMILE!
The Diamond-brilliance of Cubics Zirconia can now make your smile sparkle too!
As most of you are aware, Dr. Ahn is always on the forefront of dentistry, providing our patients with the best in technology, techniques & artistry. We would like to take this moment to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year filled with lots of beautiful smiles.
