How to choose zirconia correctly

constitute：

The main raw material of dental zirconia block is zirconia (ZrO2) which also contains 3mol% yttrium oxide (Y2O3). This material is a ceramic material with high mechanical strength and wear resistance. It is often used to make dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, inlays, veneers, etc. for fixed dentures.

Production of zirconia：

1.Porcelain powder and production technology

When choosing a dental zirconia block, the choice of porcelain powder is crucial because it directly determines the quality of the zirconia block. The production process of zirconia blocks begins with the selection of porcelain powder, which is pressed into shape under cold isostatic pressing and then enters the firing process. Vsmile's zirconia blocks use high-quality Sinocera. Although this porcelain powder is more expensive, our strict requirements for quality make us insist on choosing this high-end material. Some merchants may have chosen less effective porcelain powders. These low-quality porcelain powders cannot be compared with high-quality porcelain powders in terms of strength and powder viscosity.

In order to improve production efficiency, some factories will add glue to the porcelain powder to speed up molding through automatic feeding of the machine. However, these glues evaporate during the firing process, producing harmful substances and sometimes even causing black spots on teeth. On the contrary, our production process does not use any glue, but ensures the high quality of each zirconia block through manual precise proportioning. Although this has slowed down our production speed, we firmly believe that quality products are our commitment to our customers and we will never sell defective products.

Therefore, when purchasing zirconia blocks, the primary factor that customers should pay attention to should be the quality of the porcelain powder, not simply the price. To help you make a wise choice, I will provide a porcelain powder recommendation table for reference.

2.Choose the zirconium oxide model you need to use according to the teeth you need to make. We usually divide it into White, Preshaded, and Multilayer. I will add a guide below the article on how to choose the correct zirconium block model when making teeth.

Facts tell us that it is not the more expensive things that are better, but the things that are most suitable for you. If you have any questions, you can contact us as soon as possible.
