Zirconia ceramic crowns are one of the types of crowns in dental restorative treatment that are used to restore damaged teeth. They consist of two main components: a crown cap and a ceramic veneer. Zirconia cap is a metal cap prepared from zirconium oxide, which forms the basis of the crown and provides strength.
The zirconium oxide is rigid, durable and biocompatible that doesn’t cause allergic reactions.
Ceramic veneer is a thin layer of ceramic material used on a Zirconia cap to give the crown a natural looking appearance. Ceramic material is similar to the natural enamel structure of the tooth and can be prepared with various shades to match the color of the other teeth.
