A Zirconia crown is one of three crowns that dentists use to cover over a damaged or decayed tooth, as dentists we try to save as many teeth as possible.
If teeth are damaged or decayed, we will offer a dental crown such as Zirconium to strengthen the tooth or teeth in question because they are durable, strong and they look good.
Why are Zirconia crowns good-the pros
Zirconia crowns are a popular choice in restorative dentistry due to their durability, strength, and aesthetics.
These crowns are made from zirconia, a white crystal that closely resembles natural teeth in color and texture.
Zirconium crowns are known for their biocompatibility, meaning they are unlikely to cause allergic reactions or irritations, many reasons as to why dental crowns like these are good.
What are the cons of Zirconia crowns
As is the case with other dental crowns there are certain drawbacks associated with these crowns that you should be aware of:
1. **Brittleness**:
Zirconia crowns can be more prone to chipping or fracturing compared to other types of dental crowns, especially if subjected to excessive force or pressure.

While zirconium crowns are known for their natural appearance, some patients may find that they lack the translucency of natural teeth or other types of dental restorations.

Zirconium crowns cannot be repaired if they become damaged; instead, they must be replaced entirely, which can be time-consuming and costly.
