Zirconia Veneers Provide Extreme Strength and Durability While Thinly Covering the Entire Tooth Structure
Damaged, weak teeth can cause much harm to your future, both practically and perceptually. Zirconia veneers can strengthen and reinforce your teeth while correcting their color and shape. Zirconia dental veneers are made from zirconia oxide, an ultra-strong ceramic material milled into thin layers and bonded together for a unique combination of strength and beauty.
While porcelain veneers only cover the front surface of a tooth, zirconia veneers cover the entire tooth’s structure. Zirconia veneers are three times as strong as porcelain, making them even less subject to wear or damage.
Zirconia veneers may be a great option for you if your teeth require restoration due to bruxism (grinding of teeth) or TMJ. They are even more permanent than porcelain veneers. It is important to consider which type of dental veneers are right for you.
At Dr. Patty’s Dental Boutique and Spa, we will happily address your questions and assess your best options. Call us today to schedule a complimentary consultation.
Benefits of Zirconia Veneers
Zirconia veneers combine strength and beauty for a number of great benefits:
- Zirconia veneers are less susceptible to wear and damage than other veneer types
- Zirconia material is more translucent and better mimics the color of natural teeth
- Thinner layers of zirconia can be used without sacrificing strength or durability
- Zirconia veneers are extremely long-lasting
Differentiating Zirconia Veneers from Other Veneer Types
Zirconia veneers are often an excellent option for dental situations requiring tooth restoration. In these cases, the dentist often emphasizes strength, responding to past or ongoing issues involving teeth grinding (bruxism), or Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders.
Additionally, zirconia veneers:
- Require less preparation than porcelain or composite veneers
- Cover the entire tooth – not only the front section
- Often have lower aesthetic appeal than other veneer types due to a more opaque appearance
- Won’t chip as easily as other types of veneers
- Are extremely strong, providing reinforcement
- Last significantly longer than other types of veneers
Zirconia Veneers Are Permanent, Making Later Modification Difficult
Once zirconia veneers have been placed, they may be harder to remove or modify, owing to the greater strength and durability of zirconia veneers compared to their alternatives.
If your dental needs change over time or you need to have your dental veneers repaired or replaced in the future, this may present some difficulties. We can compare and contrast the best options for enhancing your smile.
Zirconia Veneers: Trading Translucency and Customizability for Strength and Durability
Opting for zirconia veneers can mean choosing strength over translucency and customizability. Zirconia can be relatively opaque in comparison to other substances, and its strength can relatively limit customizability.
However, because zirconia veneers are about three times as strong as porcelain veneers, they can support your teeth in smaller layers. In special situations, zirconia veneers are often the optimum choice. Let’s discuss your unique dental circumstances to plan your next steps.
