Porcelain has an advantage when appearance matters most. Porcelain reflects light in a way that looks very close to enamel so Porcelain blends beautifully with the teeth next to it.<\/p>\r\n
Porcelain can be. Shaded to match the surrounding teeth very closely. Porcelain also has a translucency that gives Porcelain a lifelike look instead of a flat one.<\/p>\r\n
Zirconia takes an approach. Zirconia is extremely strong. Can handle heavy chewing forces well making Zirconia especially useful for back teeth where the bite does most of its work.<\/p>\r\n
Modern Zirconia crowns look much better than the older versions people sometimes imagine. Zirconia crowns can have a shade and shape although traditional Porcelain often wins when maximum translucency is desired.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Back molars are a strong match for Zirconia especially when chewing pressure is high.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A thinner crown can sometimes be used, which means less tooth structure must be removed.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Grinding at night is worth telling your dentist because grinding changes the way crown material is chosen.<\/p>\r\n
A well\u2011fitted crown should feel normal when you eat and talk. The material matters,. The fit matters just as much. A beautiful crown that feels too high when you bite does not do you any favors.<\/p>\r\n
Porcelain can. Break under heavy force. Zirconia is more resistant to that kind of damage. Still Zirconia is not indestructible. The dentist must get the bite right.<\/p>\r\n
If you are restoring a molar or you put a lot of pressure on your teeth Zirconia makes sense to me. I would rather have the strength there than worry about tiny differences in translucency that no one else will notice.<\/p>\r\n
