Zirconium has many beneficial properties such as biocompatibility and natural appearance, which makes it attractive to many. Each case is unique, so the dentist always decides which solution is suitable for a particular patient. In any case, it can be said that zirconium dioxide can be a good option for almost any dental prosthetics. Here are a few reasons why it turned out to be better than the metals used in dentures.:
A zirconium crown is recommended in the following cases:
During the dental consultation and assessment, we will offer you the most appropriate solution, taking into account all factors. If a zirconium crown proves to be the most suitable, your offer and treatment plan will contain information about the treatment schedule.

Ceramic-metal crowns are increasingly being selected only for the posterior, chewing area, where their strength and excellent value for money make them particularly recommended.
Another difference is that metal frame crowns may have a gray rim on the neck of the tooth and the edge of the gum, while zirconium ceramic crowns do not have this disadvantage. Due to aesthetic differences, we primarily recommend zirconium ceramic crowns for the visible anterior area, and pressed ceramic crowns with even more outstanding aesthetic characteristics for the restoration of single crowns.
