A crown is a dental restoration that covers a tooth in order to improve his strength and the appearance of tooth. A zirconium crown is a type of all-ceramic crown made from zirconia, a very strong material which is compatible with the human body. Because of its strength and durability, Zirconia is used in many other medical applications, for example artificial joints.
Zirconia is a type of crystal which is indestructible and lasts longer than other crowns. It is safe to use and preferred by many people to porcelain fused to metal crowns because there is no fear of our body rejecting Zirconia or displaying an allergic reaction to it. Unlike other type of crowns, these restorations won’t corrode so there is no blue gum around the tooth, no electrical conductivity and the tooth will look natural.
