Why the Material Matters
Dental crowns can play an important role in your oral health. After a tooth damaged by decay or trauma has been repaired, a crown can be securely placed on top to restore structure and protect it from further harm.
With a white, translucent appearance and a smooth, hard texture, zirconia combines the strength of metal alloys with the natural look of porcelain.
Your teeth are put under considerable pressure from biting and chewing. Your crown must be strong and durable enough to withstand these pressures, making the material choice crucial to its long-term success.

Benefits of Zirconia
Among the most popular materials for dental crowns are metal, ceramic, and porcelain. While each offers certain benefits, zirconia crowns can provide numerous advantages over other options:
Durability
Made from a non-porous structure, zirconia is up to 200% stronger than porcelain. It can withstand daily chewing and biting pressures, resists corrosion from metal fillings or implants, and can last more than a decade without cracking or chipping.
Natural Appearance
While metal crowns are often stronger than porcelain, they can be visually unappealing. Zirconia offers the strength of metal with the white, translucent, and smooth texture of porcelain, making it nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Biocompatibility
With a long history in medical implants and prosthetics, zirconia is highly biocompatible, minimizing the risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Non-Conductivity
Unlike metal alternatives, zirconia does not conduct heat or electricity. This reduces the likelihood of bacterial growth, chemical reactions, or migration of materials within the body.
Conservative Treatment
Zirconia crowns require minimal tooth reduction, preserving more of the original structure compared to many metal or porcelain crowns.
Prettau® Zirconia Dental Crowns
We offer Prettau® zirconia restorations made of safe, biocompatible materials. Their smooth exterior helps prevent abrasion to surrounding teeth and gums. Our skilled technicians use custom coloring techniques to seamlessly integrate these crowns into your smile.
