In dentistry, dental ceramics are often used for crowns. Color range for these ceramics is wide and it’s possible to successfully imitate the original color of the patients’ teeth. The decision for the material also depends on the location of the crown, patients’ biting power and habits.

Full Ceramic Crowns

Ceramic with specially increased durability is used for this treatment. This material is the closest to a natural tooth. Full ceramic crowns highly aesthetic. They’re most frequently used for frontal tooth crowns.

Zirconium-Ceramic Crowns

In this treatment, Zirconium is used as a base for the ceramic crown. Zirconium is white, so while somewhat different from full-ceramic crowns, results of this treatment are similarly aesthetic and more durable.

Zirconium-ceramic crowns are preferred for molar teeth, where higher durability is required.

Monolythic Zirconia Crowns

This is a new-generation Zirconium  with very high durability. The initial versions of this material was unaesthetic and as a result, seldom preferred in treatments. But with recent developments this has changed. It is extremely durable, and widely preferred in cases of patients with bruxism (teeth grinding).
