At Topazdent Dental Care, we understand the distress that comes with a broken tooth. Whether it’s due to an injury, decay, or wear and tear, a broken tooth can significantly impact your smile and oral health. Thankfully, modern dentistry offers effective solutions for tooth rehabilitation. One of the most reliable methods involves using a fibre post and a zirconia crown, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal.
What is a Fibre Post? A fibre post is a strong, biocompatible material used to reinforce a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy. When a tooth is broken or severely decayed, it often requires additional support to hold a crown securely. The fibre post is inserted into the root canal of the tooth, providing a solid foundation for the restoration.
Advantages of Fibre Posts
Strength and Flexibility: Fibre posts are designed to mimic the natural flex of a tooth, reducing the risk of root fractures.
Biocompatibility: These posts are well-tolerated by the body, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
Aesthetic Integration: The translucency of fibre posts blends seamlessly with the tooth structure, ensuring a natural look.
Why Choose a Zirconia Crown?
A zirconia crown is a dental crown made from zirconium dioxide, a highly durable ceramic material. Zirconia crowns are favored for their strength and natural appearance, making them an excellent choice for restoring broken teeth.
Key Benefits of Zirconia Crowns
Exceptional Durability: Zirconia crowns are incredibly strong and can withstand significant chewing forces, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
Natural Aesthetics: These crowns have a translucent quality that closely resembles natural tooth enamel, ensuring a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Biocompatibility : Zirconia is non-metallic and hypoallergenic, making it an excellent option for patients with metal sensitivities.

The Rehabilitation Process at Topazdent Dental Care
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment : During your first visit, our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your broken tooth using advanced diagnostic tools. This assessment will determine the extent of the damage and the best course of treatment.
2. Root Canal Therapy (if needed): If the tooth’s pulp is damaged or infected, root canal therapy will be performed to remove the infected tissue and prevent further decay.
3. Placement of the Fibre Post: Once the root canal is completed, the fibre post is carefully inserted into the prepared canal. This step reinforces the tooth structure, providing a sturdy base for the crown.
4. Crown Preparation and Placement: After the fibre post is securely in place, we will take impressions of your tooth to create a custom-fit zirconia crown. While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth.
5. Final Crown Placement: On your follow-up visit, the permanent zirconia crown is bonded to the fibre post and tooth structure, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance.
