Zirconium Crown

What is a Zirconium Crown?

You may hear the terms Zirconium Crown and Zirconia Crown used when discussing high-strength, metal-free dental restorations. These two terms refer to the exact same thing: a crown made from an incredibly strong and beautiful ceramic material called zirconium dioxide.

While "zirconium" is the base element, the material used in dentistry is the oxide form, which is why "Zirconia" is the more common and technically accurate term you'll hear in a dental setting.

These crowns are celebrated for their unbeatable strength and are an ideal choice for any restoration that needs to withstand immense pressure. Modern advancements have also made them exceptionally beautiful and lifelike.
