What Are Subcrustal ZR Implant Crowns?

Subcrustal ZR Implant Crowns are high-performance crowns made from medical-grade zirconia, a material known for its exceptional strength, longevity, and natural appearance. "Subcrustal" refers to the unique placement and design that allows the crown to sit slightly below the gum line, mimicking the natural emergence of a tooth from the gums. This placement promotes better gum adaptation and provides a more realistic look.

Unlike traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, zirconia crowns are metal-free, making them the ideal choice for patients concerned with aesthetics, allergies, or long-term durability.

Why Choose Zirconia Over Traditional Crown Materials?

Zirconia offers a host of advantages over conventional materials. It's not only incredibly strong and fracture-resistant but also highly biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or gum irritation. Zirconia's tooth-like translucency makes it virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, offering a seamless blend with your smile.

Patients who have chosen zirconia crowns often report better comfort, minimal inflammation, and a higher satisfaction rate due to the crown’s precision and lifelike appearance.

Subcrustal Design: Better Fit, Better Aesthetics

The subcrustal design of these implant crowns allows for superior integration with your soft tissues. By positioning the crown slightly below the gum line, we ensure that the restoration appears more natural while minimizing the risk of food impaction and bacterial accumulation.

This design also enhances the long-term success of the implant, reducing the likelihood of peri-implantitis and promoting healthier gums and surrounding bone.

The Procedure – What to Expect

At The Dental Specialists, we follow a meticulous multi-step protocol to deliver high-quality subcrustal zirconia implant crowns. After the implant placement and healing phase, we take digital impressions to craft a custom-fit crown using CAD/CAM technology.

Once fabricated, the zirconia crown is securely placed onto the implant abutment with utmost precision. Our advanced scanning and design techniques ensure a snug fit, optimal occlusion, and beautiful aesthetics.

Benefits of Subcrustal ZR Implant Crowns

Frequently Asked Questions

Get Every Single Answer About Subcrustal ZR Crowns

  • What are the benefits of choosing zirconia over metal or porcelain crowns?

    Zirconia crowns offer superior strength, biocompatibility, and aesthetics. Unlike metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, zirconia is metal-free, resistant to chipping, and provides a more natural, tooth-like translucency. It also reduces the risk of gum irritation and allergic reactions.

  • Is the Subcrustal design important?

    Yes. The subcrustal placement improves soft tissue adaptation and helps the crown blend seamlessly with the gum line, mimicking the way natural teeth emerge from the gums. It also helps minimize food accumulation and supports healthier surrounding tissues.

  • Are Subcrustal ZR Crowns more expensive than regular crowns?

    Yes, they may be slightly more expensive due to the advanced material (zirconia), custom design, and technology involved. However, their longevity, aesthetics, and reduced maintenance needs make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.

  • How do I care for my Subcrustal ZR Crown?

    Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing around the crown, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleaning. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens, especially during the first few weeks post-placement.

  • Can I replace an old crown with a Subcrustal ZR Crown?

    Yes. If you already have a dental implant but are unhappy with an existing crown (due to aesthetics, discomfort, or wear), a zirconia replacement may be possible. Your dentist will evaluate the abutment and fit to ensure compatibility.
