The Benefits of Zirconia Crowns
vs Porcelain and Metal Crowns

When it comes to restoring damaged or decaying teeth, crowns are a common solution. There are several options for crown materials, including porcelain, metal, and zirconia. we will compare the benefits of zirconia crowns to porcelain and metal crowns to help you make an informed decision.

Zirconia crowns are incredibly strong and can withstand the pressure of biting and chewing. They are also less likely to crack or break compared to porcelain crowns.

 

Zirconia crowns are highly durable and can last for many years with proper care
and maintenance.

 

Zirconia crowns are designed to match the color of your natural teeth
and mimic the translucency of tooth enamel, so they look natural and realistic.

 

Zirconia crowns do not contain any metal, making them a good option for people
with metal allergies or sensitivities.

Comparison to Porcelain and Metal Crowns

Porcelain crowns are another popular option for restoring damaged or decaying teeth. While porcelain crowns offer a natural appearance, they are not as strong as zirconia crowns and are more likely to crack or break.

Metal crowns, such as gold or silver, are also an option for restoring damaged or decaying teeth. However, metal crowns are noticeable and can discolor over time, making them a less desirable option for people looking for a natural-looking smile.

Greater Resistance

Zirconia is made from biocompatible materials that offer similar properties to those of titanium, which has long been used in dental procedures and is most often the base used for dental implants. Zirconia crowns have been used as dental restorative materials since the early 2000s, and have since grown in popularity amongst dental professionals.

When it comes to restoring damaged or decaying teeth, zirconia crowns are a great option to consider. They offer strength, durability, and a natural appearance, making them a popular choice for people looking for a metal-free and long-lasting solution.

If you are considering a crown, it is important to discuss your goals and expectations with your dentist to determine if a zirconia crown is the right option for you.
