Zirconia dental crowns combine the strength of metal and the aesthetics of porcelain.
Zirconia is about five times stronger than porcelain and is the preferred choice for restoring the back teeth and for patients with teeth grinding.
The preparation process for a zirconia crown requires two sessions. During the first session, the dentist will initially take X-rays to rule out any infection of the person’s teeth and jaw areas. The dentist will then apply local anesthesia and proceed to reshaping the tooth that accepts the crown. The dentist creates a cast of the teeth that will receive the crown and sends the cast to a lab specializing in zirconia crowns.
While waiting for the zirconia crown, the patient will be provided with an interim temporary crown to cover the site. Once the permanent zirconia crown has been fabricated, your dentist will replace the temporary crown with the permanent one in the following appointment.
Dental bridges are indicated when you have one or more missing teeth. A typical 3-unit bridge consists of three crowns joined together, which is used to replace a single missing tooth.
Bridges generally require shaping of the teeth surrounding the missing tooth. Traditional bridges are made of metal, porcelain fused to metal or zirconia.
Zirconia crowns and bridges can last between 10 and 15 years, on average. The lifespan can vary depending on several factors, including:

Zirconia crown is made from zirconium dioxide, and is biocompatible like titanium. Zirconia is at least 3 times stronger than conventional porcelain and is more wear-resistant and less susceptible to chipping.
Zirconia crowns are tooth-colored and seamlessly blend with the adjacent teeth, making them almost impossible to distinguish from your natural teeth.
While PFM crown may be cost effective, zirconia crown is much stronger and offer the aesthetics of a natural tooth.
Zirconia crown can last for 10 years or longer if they are cared for properly, through maintaining good oral hygiene, and ensuring periodic check-ups with your dentist.
Yes, zirconia crowns are considered a safe and suitable option for people with metal allergies or sensitivities. Zirconia is a non-metal material that is biocompatible and hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for individuals who may experience allergic reactions to traditional metal dental restorations.
Just like with other crown types, a certain amount of tooth reduction is necessary to create space for the zirconia crown. However, zirconia is known for its strength, so in some cases, the dentist might be able to preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared to traditional crowns.
Aesthetics: Zirconia crowns are known for their natural and lifelike appearance. They can be customized to match the color, shape, and size of your adjacent teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look.
Biocompatibility: Zirconia is a biocompatible material, which means it is well-tolerated by the body and unlikely to cause allergic reactions or adverse tissue responses.
Durability: Zirconia is highly durable and resistant to chipping or cracking. This makes zirconia crowns a reliable option for withstanding the forces of biting and chewing.
Minimized wear on adjacent teeth: Zirconia is gentle on the opposing teeth, reducing the potential for wear on the teeth that come into contact with the crown.
