Cosmetic Dentistry That Goes Beyond Oral Health
Peace of Mind for Holistic Dental Crowns
No Fluoride
To optimize the biome of the mouth and avoid your body’s exposure to toxic fluoride we use different applications of natural and effective oxygen-ozone (O3).
No Toxic Metal
To avoid allergic reactions and medical conditions caused by toxic heavy Mercury metal and metal alloys we use only biocompatible and metal-free ceramic materials.
No BPA
To avoid controversial BPA, we primarily use Bisphenol A or free composite fillings and restorations for their safety and efficiency that are exactly to normal composite white fillings with the same functions.
No Antibiotic
To prevent chemicals and pharmaceutical drug-side effects, our holistic dentist removes harmful microorganisms by applying non-invasive alternatives such as ozone gas.
No Root Canals
To avoid cavitation (jawbone infection), and medical systemic or autoimmune conditions that could be related to root canals, our holistic and biological dentist offers alternatives to root canals.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” cemented onto an existing tooth that usually covers the portion of your tooth above the gum line to restore its shape, size, and strength as well as improve its appearance. The crown becomes your tooth’s new outer surface.
A dental crown may be needed for a variety of reasons, including to protect a weak cracked, damaged, or decayed tooth, to restore and improve the shape and strength of a worn, chipped, or broken tooth, to save a natural tooth from extraction, and for cosmetic dental treatments such as full arch zirconia crowns, combination with porcelain veneers, restoring dental implants, or holding a dental bridge in place.
They are several different materials used for the creation of custom dental crowns, spanning from metals such as gold alloy and stainless steel to tooth-colored and biocompatible crowns comprised of metal-free porcelain or ceramic (zirconia).
Reasons for Dental Crowns?
If you have a tooth that has been significantly damaged or decayed, and you are considering the extraction of your tooth, Dr. Maryam Horiyat can evaluate it to preserve your natural tooth by a dental crown or porcelain inlay or onlay.
Porcelain Crowns are often indicated in the following cases:
- Decayed Teeth
- Broken & Fractured Teeth
- Large Fillings
- Root Canaled Teeth
- Cosmetic Enhancement
- Dental Implant Restorations
- Dental Bridge

Solid
Porcelain

Zirconia (Lava 3M)
Crowns

Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM)

Metal-Alloys Or Precious Gold
- Solid Porcelain Crowns or Ceramic Crowns, in which the entire thickness of the crown is porcelain.
- Zirconia Crown (Zirconium Dioxide) can be the entire thickness of the crown or can be used as a white precious substructure to porcelain.
- Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM), which has an aesthetic ceramic material surface covering a metal-alloys substructure. Over time, the ceramic can separate from the metal, and a dark metal will become visible at the gum line.
- Metal-Alloys Crowns, in which the entire thickness of the crown is made of metal alloys.

What Type of Crown Is the Best?
Zirconia® Crown and Solid Porcelain Crowns such E-max® and Porcera® from Nobel Biocare are the most often preferred and offered as an option at Aria Dental by Dr. Horiyat because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth and are very strong. In addition, when your dentist takes an X-ray of your tooth for routine checkups, the structure of your tooth under a solid porcelain crown can be seen, but not under a porcelain fused to metal or metal crown. Solid porcelain crowns and Zirconia crowns are also more biocompatible with your oral tissues, which ultimately decreases gum irritation and gum recession compared to metal-based crowns. Zirconia is not as translucent as porcelain or lithium disilicate (IPS) and therefore doe does not look as much like natural teeth. Thus, Dr. Horiyat in general recommends using zirconia for posterior teeth (molars) and IPS or metal-free porcelain crown for anterior (front) teeth.
benefits of metal-free restorations

Strength & Fracture Resistance
Compared to any type of metal-free dental crown, full zirconia crowns have the highest durability and are the most robust type of dental crowns. The material is extraordinarily tough and can endure a tremendous amount of wear and tear making them virtually indestructible once hardened and set in place. They are extremely resistant to oxidation and wear.

Appearance & Aesthetic
Both zirconia and porcelain crowns resist staining better than any other acrylic or composite ceramic crowns. One of the greatest advantages of full porcelain crowns is their natural-looking appearance and translucency characteristics, which aesthetically match the best to your natural teeth. Compared to metal-fused crowns, full porcelain crowns are more aesthetically pleasing, which is especially beneficial for patients who need a dental crown in the anterior or more visible area of their smile.

Metal-Free & Bio-Compatible
Both full zirconia and full porcelain crowns that are not fused to any metal have the highest biocompatibility to the human body, meaning that they pose no threat and cause no harm to your body and wellness. Since they are metal-free, they are chemically unreactive, so they cause no chemical corrosion. Full zirconia crowns require the removal of less tooth structure; therefore, preserving more of the natural tooth and are more optimal for conservative & biomimetic dentistry.
