Why Choose Zirconia Crowns?
Exceptional Strength & Durability
Zirconia crowns are made from zirconium dioxide — one of the toughest ceramics in dentistry. This makes them ideal for molars or heavily worn teeth that require extra reinforcement. They’re fracture-resistant and built to withstand daily wear for years.
Naturally Beautiful Appearance
When aesthetics matter, zirconia crowns deliver. While solid (monolithic) zirconia can appear slightly opaque, many patients opt for porcelain-layered zirconia — combining strength with a more natural, lifelike translucency that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
Biocompatible & Safe
Zirconia is metal-free and highly biocompatible. That means minimal risk of allergic reactions, inflammation, or gum irritation. It’s a top choice for patients with sensitivities or anyone who wants a safe, non-reactive material in their mouth.
Long-Term Solution
Compared to other crown materials like metal, ceramic, or resin, zirconia offers one of the longest lifespans — often exceeding 10–15 years with proper care.
Things to Consider
Why are patients flying into Manila for their dental work? Simple. The same titanium-grade implants that cost 3–5x more in the U.S., Australia, or Europe are done here—by one of the Philippines’ most trusted implant surgeons—for a price that makes sense.
Color Matching
Because zirconia is less translucent than natural enamel, achieving a perfect match can be tricky — especially for front teeth. In these cases, we may recommend a porcelain overlay to improve appearance.
Potential Wear
Zirconia’s strength is unmatched — but it can occasionally wear down the enamel of opposing teeth, especially in patients who grind or clench. We’ll assess your bite and make adjustments if needed to protect your smile.
