Zirconium Crowns and bridges are so strong they can be used anywhere in the mouth. Zirconium Crowns can withstand the biting pressure of the front teeth as well as back teeth grinding.

Zirconium Crowns consist of a white based metal core (a permanent white metal) with porcelain fused to the outside (creating the look of a natural tooth). The positive to this type of Crown is that you will never see a black line should your gums recede over time. The Crown will always appear white at the gum line. The tooth has a much better transparency as the Crown is made up from 100% white materials. The look is more aesthetically pleasing when you smile and therefore we recommending using Zirconium/ Porcelain Crowns for your front teeth (6 front upper or lower) or the number of teeth that are shown along your smile line. Zirconium is also the healthy option as it is free of Amalgam and Nickel, therefore it will not discolour your natural teeth underneath the Crown or your gum line.
