Types of zirconia crowns
Monolithic Zirconia Crowns:
This type of dental ceramic contains Zirconium oxide, a material that renders it virtually unbreakable. This extremely strong type of ceramic resists chips, breaks, and stains. It can be color matched to your teeth but it is somewhat opaque. Due to the opacity monolithic restorations are better placed in the back of the mouth.
