Yes they are stronger than porcelain. They should last longer.
Hello there,
Zirconia and porcelain are both considered as ceramic. However generally speaking, Zirconia is stronger than Porcelain but Porcelain usually looks better. There are some new Zirconias that look pretty natural and good. It all depends on which material lab uses. Hope this answer your question.
