Strong, Durable Zirconia Crowns at Profile Dental (Elk Grove, CA)

At Profile Dental in Elk Grove, we use zirconia — a white, tooth-colored ceramic made of zirconium dioxide — to craft strong, metal-free zirconia crowns. Zirconia’s high strength and stability let these crowns withstand heavy chewing without chipping. They blend naturally with the smile, matching enamel’s translucency for a realistic white crown appearance.

Strength and Durability

• Exceptional strength: Zirconia crowns are among the toughest tooth restorations available. They resist cracking or chipping under bite pressure, making them excellent for back teeth that endure strong chewing forces.

• Long-lasting: These crowns often last 10–15+ years with proper care. Their superior longevity means fewer replacements over time.

• Resistant to wear: The material stands up to grinding or bruxism. Zirconia’s durability means it wears far less and stays intact through daily use.

How Zirconia Crowns Are Made and Placed

1. Exam and tooth prep – The dentist removes decay and shapes the damaged tooth for the crown.

2. Impression or digital scan – A model of the prepared tooth is captured using traditional putty or advanced intraoral scanning.

3. Design and milling – Using CAD/CAM technology, a zirconia block is milled into a custom crown either same-day in our office or in a trusted lab.

4. Bonding – The finished zirconia crown is securely bonded to the tooth with dental cement, restoring strength and function.
