Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are incredibly natural-looking, showing the same opacity and pearl-like beauty of natural teeth. They have a flexural strength and fracture toughness almost twice as high as that of alumina, which makes them very resistant to chewing forces and breaking, while maintaining an exact precision fit. Zirconia is a highly biocompatible material, and has been shown to accumulate less bacteria in vivo in terms of presence and total number of potential pathogens. Patients who want the ultimate in aesthetics, when possible, choose zirconia.
