What is Zirconia Dental Crown or Cap?

Zirconia crowns are a type of dental restoration that is made from zirconium dioxide, a Zirconia cap known for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility. They are often used to restore damaged or decayed teeth, and can also be used to replace missing teeth.

 

Composition and Manufacturing

Zirconia caps are made from zirconium dioxide powder that is subjected to heat and pressure to form a dense and strong material. The manufacturing process for zirconia crowns is very precise, which ensures that the crowns fit perfectly over the prepared teeth.

During manufacturing zirconia blocks are milled by a CAD cam machine to draw out a crown

Strength and Durability

Zirconia crowns are very strong and durable. They are much stronger than traditional porcelain crowns and more resistant to chipping and cracking.

Is Zirconia Crown a Metal?

No, zirconia crowns are not metal. They are made from zirconium dioxide, which is a ceramic material. However, some zirconia crowns have a metal substructure that is hidden by the ceramic outer layer. These crowns are called “hybrid” crowns.
