Zirconia Crowns Dental Lab from China
Zirconia Tooth Crown from Robust
A zirconia crown (or dental cap zirconia) is made from zirconium dioxide, a very sturdy kind of steel that belongs to titanium, although it’s categorized as a type of all ceramic crown. Zirconia is a white solid ceramic polish that incorporates metal’s toughness with the visual, tooth-like appeal of ceramic. Zirconia crowns are continually being created to additionally enhance their performance.
Types of Zirconia Crowns from Robust Dental Lab
Zirconia Porcelain Crowns
A zirconia porcelain crown (or ceramic zirconia crown) consists of zirconia coping (or zirconia base) and porcelain coating. The monolithic zirconia coping provides strength (1200MPa), while the porcelain coating gives translucency on the incisal. A zirconia porcelain crown can be very natural looking. Therefore, people often choose it for their front teeth (Anterior zirconia crown). With the help of tough monolithic zirconia base, we can also make a long porcelain zirconia bridge in many cases.
Monolithic Zirconia/ Monolithic zirconium
A monolithic zirconium crown is also called bruxzir crown, or full zirconia crown, because the whole crown is made of zirconia material only (no porcelain coating). A traditional monolithic zirconia crown is the strongest among all ceramic crowns (but with opaque look). Dental lab technicians have to add stain on the incisor, in order to make the crown look more natural. Therefore, people normally choose monolithic zirconia bridges for their back teeth, which need to withstand very strong chewing force.
High Translucent Zirconia
A high transluscent zirconia crown, also known as multilayer full zirconia crown, or bruxzir aesthetic zirconia crown) is also made of zirconia material only (no porcelain coating). Yet, this full zirconia material includes layers of shade blending, normally from cervical to incisor. This shade blending mimics our natural teeth vividly, but at a cost of being less strong (1050-700MPa). Since it is natural looking and still strong (compared to Emax crown), people often choose it for both front and back teeth (often single crowns and short bridges).

Zirconia Dental Crown FAQ Guide
1. Advantages of zirconia crowns
Zirconia dental crowns offer several benefits, including:
- Zirconia is very strong and can withstand the daily wear and tear of chewing and biting, especially from your back teeth. It makes zirconia crowns long-lasting and less prone to chipping or cracking.
- Zirconia crowns are without a metal base, providing a more natural and attractive appearance than PFM and full metal crowns.
- A monolithic zirconia is the strongest among all-ceramic crowns. If you choose a monolithic zirconia crown, dental practitioners do not need to prepare much of your natural teeth, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
- Zirconia is biocompatible. It is unlikely to cause allergic reactions or adverse tissue responses in the mouth.
- Zirconia teeth do not corrode. They maintain their appearance and functionality over time.
- Zirconia can be crowns, long bridges, and dental implants, making it a versatile material for various dental restorations.
2. Disadvantages of zirconia crowns
Like other dental treatments, there can be several potential disadvantages to consider:
- Though zirconia is without a metal base, its translucency cannot compete with E.max crowns.
- The inner surface of zirconia crowns is very smooth. This cannot be totally resolved through sandblasting or acid etching. Therefore, if a natural tooth is not properly prepared, or the abutment is too small, the zirconia crown may slip off.
- Zirconia crowns can be more expensive than some other types of dental crowns, such as non-precious full metal crowns or non-precious PFM crowns.
- Zirconia is strong, but it is not flexible at all. It can be brittle and may have the potential to fracture under extreme forces or under some circumstances. For details, please refer to:
