Dental ceramics – specially developed for oral use
All-ceramic dental restorations make it possible for us to successfully imitate nature. The aesthetic impression is often even better than that created by the original teeth. (Photo: Degudent)
Our all-ceramic dental restorations are made of a special ceramic material that was specifically developed for use in the highly demanding oral environment. These advanced ceramics not only meet the highest standards for aesthetics, they are also able to withstand the differing chewing and bite pressures exerted on front and back teeth.
Choosing the right dental ceramic
There are a number of factors that influence the kind of dental ceramic that we will use for your high-quality restoration. These include:
- precisely which teeth or the tooth parts are being replaced,
- the restoration method (Veneers, Inlays, partial crowns, Crowns or Bridges?
- and the manufacturing process being used.
Zirconium oxide – the advanced modern ceramic

The high tech ceramic zirconium dioxide – better known as zirconium oxide or zirconia – is made from zirconium sand, a natural material. Zirconium oxide has outstanding mechanical and aesthetic properties and has been tried and tested in the medical field over a long period of time. Its durability has been proven in, among other things, well over 300,000 artificial hip joints.
The advantages of zirconium dioxide in the manufacture of high-quality dental restorations:
- Zirconium oxide dental restorations have the best natural looking aesthetics.
- Zirconium oxide is fully biocompatible and does not cause allergic reactions.
- Zirconium oxide is the strongest and toughest all-ceramic material available to dentistry today, and it offers the best long-term durability. Even larger restorations made of zirconium oxide do not need to be strengthened with metal. At the same time – also due to the strength of the material – the very smallest restorations can be made from all-ceramic zirconium oxide.
