Zirconia

Zirconia is a beautiful and strong material.Often called “white steel”, it combines strength with the translucency necessary for lifelike dental creations.In addition, it may have benefits for patients with metal allergies.Dentists are starting to see good soft-tissue response to zirconia restorations. Many patients who have serious soft-tissue irritation with metal or PFM restorations show improved soft tissue response, often within just a few days after placing zirconia crowns.
