Zirconia Crowns are popular types of all ceramic crowns which are more durable and long lasting.
The look of Zirconia crown and bridges is so close to natural teeth that it is hard to tell the difference and it is this quality which makes it preferred by the dentists. Zirconia crown allows light to pass through it as a normal tooth would and this gives the natural look unlike the metal cores in porcelain fused metal crown that block light. It can withstand the biting pressure of front and back teeth.
Advantages:
Very strong that can endure wear and tear of everyday use.
Can be used anywhere in mouth front/back tooth
Natural appearance, very similar to natural teeth and reflects light same way.
Normal porcelain can clip or break where in Zirconia it won't.
Zirconia crowns won't corrode so the black gum line that you can see around porcelain fused metal crowns won't happen in case of Zirconia.
Normal too hot/cold sensation which you feel with normal Porcelain fused metal crowns is nil in Zirconia Crowns because of lack of electrical conductivity.
