Full-mouth Zirconia Crown Restoration for Severe Tooth Wear
On this page~2 min read
Service: Smile Restoration
Patient Profile: 43-year-old male patient from Australia.
Main Concern:
The patient had a long history of smoking and betel nut chewing. His teeth showed obvious brown staining, severe wear, sharp tooth edges, and an aged smile appearance. He hoped to improve his full-mouth smile aesthetics with a cleaner, brighter, and more harmonious result.
Examination and Diagnosis:
Huangshan Clinical examination showed calculus (++), pigmentation (+++), sharp tooth margins, tooth wear, and visible tooth cracks. These findings suggested long-term staining, occlusal wear, and structural weakening of multiple teeth.
Treatment:
Comfortable ultrasonic teeth cleaning was performed first. A full-crown restoration plan was then designed, with the target shade set at 0M3.
Materials and Brands: Wieland Zenostar® Zirconia Crown
Treatment Period: 6 days / 1 visit
Treating Dentist: Dr. Jinhao Li
Doctor’s Notes
- Avoid acidic foods for one week after teeth cleaning.
- Avoid strong hot and cold stimulation during the early recovery period.
- Maintain good oral hygiene and use mouthwash as instructed.
- Because several teeth already showed crack lines, crown restoration cannot fully prevent future crack progression. The patient is advised to stop smoking and betel nut chewing to protect oral health and restoration longevity.
FAQ
Does betel nut damage teeth?
