Zirconium Oxide or Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns

Zirconium Oxide Crowns or Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns. What is the difference? Do they look the same? Why is there such a price difference?

Zirconium Oxide Crowns are high quality crowns. They look fantastic and are great for front teeth but are more expensive than porcelain fused to metal crowns. Look for exceptional quality such as Zeno Zircon crowns. You will be so happy with your choice. Zeno Zirconium oxide crowns are amazingly strong and look so natural. They are an excellent choice for someone who is looking for an amazing natural smile.

Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns. A much cheaper option. These crowns have a non precious metal sub-base and a covering of porcelain. They are extremely strong and are an excellent choice for someone on a tight budget. They are also great for rear teeth and older patients who desperately want something that just functions well. They do not look as natural as zirconium oxide. It is not just the colour of the teeth you have to match up but the translucency of the teeth as well. Porcelain fused to metal crowns are opaque because of the metal sub-base, that is the light does not shine through them and so they can look slightly duller than a natural tooth.
