What material is used for crowns?
Most crowns and bridges are metal or metal alloys and are veneered with ceramic in a color to match the natural tooth. The highquality esthetic alternative is porcelain. Zirconium oxide ceramic with its high strength is particularly suitable for implant-borne dentures. It is suitable for single tooth crowns, and also for larger bridges and it reflects the light identically to the natural tooth enamel. This means that the denture is virtually identical to the natural teeth.
