Zirconia Crowns 

The Advantages of Non-Metal Crowns

Non-metal dental crowns have become more popular in recent years because they have many different benefits, while also taking a more holistic approach to dental procedures. Some of the more common materials used for dental crowns that are not metal are porcelain and ceramic crowns. These materials are beneficial because they are very strong and they are also visually appealing, with a natural look that is similar to the look of teeth. The natural look of these crowns will not be noticeable when you smile. 

• Fully Resin: Resin is a material that dentists use for fillings and dental crowns. The material is basically plastic and small glass particles. Resin is a cheaper material but is likely to break down because it lacks the strength of other available materials.

• Fully Ceramic: Ceramic has the natural color of teeth and is beneficial to use because it is hypoallergenic. 

• Fully Porcelain: 100% porcelain dental crowns have similar benefits of ceramic crowns. 

• Pressed Ceramic: These crowns have ceramics on their inside and are capped with a porcelain cover-up. The internal ceramics give the strength that the tooth needs, with extra support and a natural appearance on the outside.

Non-metal dental crowns can provide the strength and support needed for healthy teeth while also offering superior cosmetic appeal.
