Metal Free Dental Crowns

Zirconia crowns are dental prostheses that are made entirely of zirconium oxide, a type of ceramic material. Unlike traditional crowns made of metal or synthetic materials, zirconia crowns are completely metal-free and biocompatible, which means they are unlikely to cause allergies or adverse reactions.

One of the key advantages of zirconia crowns is their aesthetic appeal. The natural white tone of zirconia closely resembles the color of a natural tooth, making the crown blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. This is particularly beneficial for front teeth where a highly visible crown may not be desirable. Additionally, zirconia crowns are resistant to discoloration and wear, ensuring their long-term durability.

In summary, zirconia crowns offer several advantages including biocompatibility, aesthetic appeal, and exceptional stability and durability.
