Zirconium Crowns
Zirconia dental crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a white powdered ceramic material. Its ceramic properties and the fact that is milled from a single block make it a strong dental prosthetic. In fact, its strength allows for far thinner dental crowns than those made with metals.
Reasons to Get a Zirconia Crown
Several factors can make your teeth wear down or break. Tooth decay, injuries, and natural aging are among the leading causes of tooth damage. Grinding your teeth, a crossbite, and chewing on hard objects might cause your teeth to lose their shape or reduce in size. Getting a zirconia crown won't help grow your natural tooth back to health, but it'll prevent further decay and improve the affected tooth's appearance.

Types of Zirconia Used on Crowns
From all the ceramic variations available to date, dentists seem to have two favorites. They often prefer using framework zirconia and full-contour zirconia for dental work. Both options are viable alternatives to using porcelain-metal composites and full-metal blends. Framework zirconia is best for anterior and posterior multi-unit bridges. By masking this versatile material with porcelain or glass, it can look almost like a natural tooth. Full-contour zirconia works better as a monolithic restoration.
Benefits of Getting a Zirconia Crown
Zirconia is the most durable monolithic ceramic, which is a ceramic made without added materials. When comparing it to glass ceramics and dental composite, zirconia is more split-resistant, stiffer, and stronger. These properties hinder cracking and chipping, both on the surrounding teeth and the one underneath the crown. Zirconia has a better shielding capacity that can take higher loads without compromising the integrity of your smile.
