Dependent on various factors, a zirconia crown may be a good option. The problem with zirconia generally is the translucency and opaqueness of the material. YES, it is strong, but it is generally not "naturally" looking. A preferred option in the front of your mouth is lithium disilicate, which is far more translucent and nicer looking. If the esthetics is your main concern, strongly consider lithium disilicate. For STRENGTH, zirconia. Good luck! Dr James Doundoulakis, DMD MS, prosthodontist, Greenwich CT

For most patients, the newer ALL Ceramic materials - non-metalic - work very well and are fairly esthetic. With some specific applications, the former porcelain to Metal fixed bridge may still need to be considered, dependent on the length of the bridge. Our patients mostly prefer the ALL "white " ceramic option most. And over time, these restorations have held up. All our patients are given a soft occlusal guard after their treatment is completed to help mitigate excessive forces during work outs or sleep. Good Luck!
