Overview
Crowns serve as replacements for missing teeth, offering options like gold, metal, porcelain, and tooth-colored Zirconium. The use of white crowns, particularly Zirconium, can significantly enhance both confidence and smile aesthetics.Ceramic Fused to Metal Crowns
Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns, featuring a metal backing, can closely match the color of adjacent teeth (unlike metallic crowns). Over time, however, the ceramic overlay may wear, revealing the underlying metal and potentially showing as a dark line in the gums. Upgrades or replacements may be necessary after a few years.Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns, featuring a metal backing, can closely match the color of adjacent teeth (unlike metallic crowns).

They are an excellent choice, especially for front teeth, providing aesthetic benefits. Zirconium Crowns
Zirconium stands out as the strongest all-ceramic coping material available. Ideal for those sensitive to metal or seeking metal-free restorations for aesthetic reasons, Zirconium has proven biocompatibility in the medical field over the years. Zirconium crowns and bridges exhibit exceptional strength, making them suitable for use anywhere in the mouth. They can withstand the biting pressure of both front and back teeth grinding. The appearance of Zirconium crowns closely mimics natural teeth, making it challenging to distinguish between the two. This natural quality makes Zirconium highly versatile in various dental applications.
