What is a zirconia all-ceramic dental crown?

A zirconia all-ceramic dental crown is a premium dental restoration made from zirconia (Zirconia, chemical formula ZrO2) ceramic material, used to replace missing, damaged, or discolored teeth. This type of crown is increasingly popular in the field of dental restoration due to its superior physical and aesthetic properties.

Zirconia all-ceramic crowns are among the most durable dental restorations, making them less likely to fracture when used for dental repair. Additionally, it can be used for cosmetic and restoration of missing teeth, and can be used to restore multiple teeth, including dental restorations with consecutive crowns.

Currently, zirconia all-ceramic dental crowns are fabricated using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology, which involves laser scanning, computer-aided design, and precision CNC machinery to craft suitable crowns or bridges.
