Biocompatible Restorative Materials

Innovative Smiles replaces failing metal restorations with high-strength, biocompatible materials. Using CEREC Primemill technology, we provide monolithic zirconia crowns that offer sub-millimeter accuracy and long-term durability for residents of Middleburg Heights and the surrounding area.

Traveling down West 130th St. reminds many local residents of our community’s history. Just as our neighborhood evolves, so should the materials used in your dental work. We frequently replace old, darkened silver fillings with Monolithic Zirconia, a solid block of ceramic known for its incredible strength. This material is prized for its Biocompatibility, meaning it does not cause irritation or allergic reactions in the surrounding gum tissue. Our CEREC system crafts these restorations in a single visit.

Seeing a patient smile without the distraction of dark metal lines is one of the most rewarding parts of modern restorative care.

Achieving Sub-millimeter Accuracy with CEREC

The CEREC Primemill represents the peak of chairside technology. It uses computer-aided design to ensure a perfect fit with Sub-millimeter Accuracy, which reduces the need for manual adjustments. This precision is vital for the Occlusal alignment, or the way your top and bottom teeth meet when you bite down. When a crown fits perfectly, it protects the underlying tooth from further decay and prevents jaw strain. Collaboration between the digital scanner and the milling unit results in a restoration that feels exactly like a natural tooth.

Common Questions About Zirconia Crowns

• Is a zirconia crown stronger than the old metal ones? Zirconia is one of the toughest materials used in dentistry today and is nearly impossible to chip or crack. It provides the strength of metal but looks just like your natural tooth enamel, so you get the best of both worlds.
• Can I really get my permanent crown in just one day? Yes, our advanced milling machine allows us to create your custom crown right here in the office while you wait. You can leave our office with your final restoration, which means no more wearing a temporary crown for weeks.
