Monolithic Zirconia

Overview

Monolithic zirconia restorations are milled from one solid block of zirconium oxide, rather than a metal or porcelain-layered core with a separate porcelain coating. That single-piece construction makes them significantly more resistant to chipping and fracture than traditional layered crowns.

Modern zirconia is shaded and characterized digitally, so the finished crown or bridge blends naturally with your surrounding teeth rather than looking flat or opaque.

Who it's for

• You need a crown or bridge on a back tooth that takes heavy biting force
• You've had porcelain restorations chip or fracture in the past
• You grind or clench your teeth and need a more durable material

What to expect

1. Digital or traditional impression of the prepared tooth
2. Your restoration is designed and milled to match the shade of your natural teeth
3. A temporary restoration protects the tooth while the permanent one is made
4. Final fitting and bite check, with adjustments as needed
