Zirconium
With over 6 million Procera restorations inserted worldwide, Nobel Biocare has a track record of successful, beautiful restorative solutions. Procera Zirconia, made of Yttria Stabilized Zirconium (YZ) has substantial advantages compared to other dental materials: mechanical resistance, biocompatibility and a fracture toughness two times greater than Alumina.
Strength no longer has to be compromised to achieve extreme esthetics. The Flexural Strength of Zirconia restorations range from 900 to 1400 MPa. Conventional precious metal ceramics restorations are at 800 MPa or less. Metal ceramics cannot compete with the esthetics of Procera Zirconia. It is capable of being placed anywhere in the mouth and can accommodate 3-4 unit bridges. And now, Clinica Estetica Dental-Centro Implantologico is the only clinic in the south of Tenerife and only one of five in the whole Canary Islands to have the new Forte Scanner. That means we can custom design your crowns or bridges using CAD/CAM technology.
Procera Zirconia restorations can be inserted using conventional cementing techniques. Bonding is not required.
