Dental crowns are essentially a way to fix broken, cracked, weak or misshapen teeth. They can be made of precious metals, ceramic, porcelain and a mixture of several layers. With all of the various materials that dental crowns are made of, it's helpful to learn about them and why your dentist might choose one over another.
Often times, location in the mouth and the materials used nearby will help determine which direction to go. Zirconium oxide is a very sturdy material that's gaining popularity. Zirconia crowns are becoming more common in recent years as they offer some advantages over other substances. They can also be made chair side in many instances and delivered to the mouth same day.
