What can make Zirconia bridge stained badly in 5 days? (Photo)

Question

Sarah Thompson, DMD · Answer

You might want to confirm with your dentist that your bridge is actually Zirconia, because it may not be.  Staining can occur from eating too much curry, drinking vary dark juices and smoking cigarettes.  However, these things will only stain over several months and years of heavy usage.  So, it is almost illogical that a Zirconia crown would stain so quickly with normal use.  I hope this helps.  Click save under my name to see more of my answers to other questions.

Several things can contribute to the staining of your new bridge:1.  Certain foods and beverages2.  Improper cleaning of the bridge3.  Unpolished or unglazed area of the bridge can stain rapidly.  Try to improve your homecare and if needed return to your dentist.

Joseph Proscia, DDS · Answer

Smoking usually causes stains like this.  Coffee, tea, wine, or other dark drinks can also cause this.  Using an electric toothbrush should help keep stains at bay.
