“Can I get zirconia crown for front tooth?”

Yes you can.

Zirconia has taken the dental industry by storm over the past 2 decades due to its hardness which enables crowns to be made without an inner core (base) of metal. Older style crowns have porcelain fused (baked) to metal (hence called a PFM crown) and the porcelain can often chip or discolor with age. The main problem initially with Zirconium crowns was that the zirconium only came in a limited shade selection and dental laboratories had mixed results with adding a surface shade. In the past few years, they have developed a "sintering" technique whereby they mix zirconium and porcelain together to produce a hard material with better shading. We now can place these Porcelain/Zirconium crowns in the front (anterior) region. They look nice and are stronger than all-porcelain anterior teeth. There ARE crowns out there which are softer than zirconia but are more life-like than zirconia so we now have two types of materials in the front to treat our patients: Porc/Zirc crowns for grinders/bruxers and "Emax-style" crowns for more aesthetic needs/wants. Consultation with your dentist will assist you and he/her in making a proper choice. I typically use all Zirc crowns from the 1st premolar posteriorly and Porc/Zirc crowns from the canines forwards. This philosophy is dependent on the increased grinding pressure of your food towards the back.

Yes, you can get a Zirconia crown on a front tooth. There are several different material options available and you should discuss with your dentist what would be the best option in your case for strength, longevity and aesthetics.
