Ceramic crowns are quite strong. However, there are lots of things we consider that are related to how the patient functions when choosing a crown material.
Yes, very strong
Yes, a ceramic crown is strong, but they can still break. Depending on the type of ceramic used, it would probably not be a good idea o chew on bones, or ice, or anything really hard. Also, moderate the extremes of hot and cold. Just like a sidewalk cracks, so does porcelain. Talk to your dentist.
