Everything you need to know about biocompatible dental crowns
At Modern Smile Dental, Dr. Michelle Janbakhsh and her talented team are here to make your smile healthier, brighter, and more confident! Biocompatible dental crowns are one of the most amazing ways to restore your teeth while giving you peace of mind about the materials used in your treatment. If you’re wondering what biocompatible crowns are and how they could be the perfect solution for you, we’ve got you covered with some frequently asked questions about this procedure below:
What are biocompatible dental crowns?
Biocompatible dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps made from materials that are highly compatible with your body. This means they’re designed to work in harmony with your mouth, reducing the likelihood of irritation, allergies, or discomfort.
What materials are they made from?
Ceramic or zirconia are the most common materials used in biocompatible crowns. Both are durable, natural-looking, and free of metals, making them a healthier option for your smile.
Are they as strong as traditional crowns?
Absolutely! Biocompatible crowns are as strong and long-lasting as traditional ones, if not stronger. Zirconia, for instance, is well-known for its incredible toughness and resistance to wear and tear.
Do they look natural?
Biocompatible crowns are designed to mimic the color, shape, and translucency of natural teeth, so no one will even notice you have one. Get ready to smile with confidence!
Are they safe for people with allergies?
Yes! These types of crowns are metal-free, making them a fantastic option for patients with metal sensitivities or allergies. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities at Modern Smile Dental.

How long do they last?
Biocompatible crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more with the right care. To keep your crown in excellent condition for as long as possible, brush and floss regularly. Avoid chewing on hard items like ice or bones, and schedule routine visits with our team. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure the longevity of your crown.
Is the procedure painful?
Not at all! Getting a biocompatible crown is straightforward and comfortable. We use gentle techniques and advanced technology to ensure your visit to the office is as stress-free as possible.
How do I know if I need a biocompatible crown?
If you have a damaged, weakened, or missing tooth and want a healthy, non-metal alternative, you might be a great candidate! Schedule a consultation with our office to find out if this treatment is right for you, and take time to ask any questions you might have about this dental crown procedure or the use of biocompatible materials for your new dental crown.
