5 Reasons to Choose Advance Zirconia Crowns for Dental Restorations

Why Dentists Recommend Advance Zirconia Crowns for Dental Restoration

Posted April 21, 2025 by Haresh Savani

Tired of crowns that crack, clash with your smile, or irritate your gums? You’re not alone — and thankfully, the dental world has responded with a game-changer: Advance Zirconia Crowns. These next-gen restorations are lightweight yet nearly indestructible, offering the strength you need without compromising comfort. With a stunningly natural look and digitally precise fit, zirconia crowns aren’t just an upgrade — they represent a total transformation in digital dentistry. Advance Zirconia combines precision engineering with aesthetic perfection, quickly becoming the new gold standard in modern restorative care.

Why Zirconia is Getting the Hype?

No one wants to settle for anything less than strong, natural, and safe when it comes to your crown.

Zirconia doesn't meet today's expectations. It transcends them.

First developed in aerospace and medical implants, zirconia (zirconium dioxide) has taken over leading-edge dental materials for one big reason: it provides everything patients today want.

What sets it apart?

  • Super strength to withstand extreme bite forces.
  • Biocompatibility that's gentle on sensitive gums and allergy-susceptible patients.
  • Translucency that replicates natural enamel.
  • No unattractive gray lines, unlike metal crowns.
  • Longevity, with a life span of 10–15+ years with proper care.

Zirconia also fits seamlessly into digital dentistry. With CAD/CAM equipped dental lab, it's milled with precision accuracy, which translates to fewer chairside adjustments and a perfect fit from the beginning.

Meet the Star – What Exactly Is Advance Zirconia?

Think zirconia is good? Advance Zirconia is designed to be better.

It's not an upgrade — it's the crown redefined from the inside out.

Engineered for enhanced durability, improved translucency, and complete digital compatibility, Advance Zirconia is more than a material — it's an all-in-one solution for today's restorations.

What makes it shine:

  • Lab-grade strength with clinical flexibility
  • Layered translucency for lifelike beauty
  • Digital accuracy through high-end CAD/CAM processes
  • 100% metal-free and hypoallergenic
  • Versatility for customized fit in crowns, bridges, and implants

It's the material top dentists turn to today for restorations that require beauty and brawn.

Five Reasons Dentists Are Making the Move to Advance Zirconia Crowns

Dentists aren't only selecting Advance Zirconia — they're sticking to it.

Here's why this material is turning into the crown of choice for contemporary clinics.

1. Strength That Doesn't Quit

Designed for molars and heavy-bite patients, Advance Zirconia has flexural strength greater than 1,000 MPa — holding up against chips, cracks, and long-term wear.

2. Aesthetics That Rival Natural Teeth

Its multi-layered structure provides a smooth color change that replicates the depth and luster of true enamel.

3. Biocompatibility You Can Trust

Non-metal and gum-friendly, it eliminates hazards such as allergic reactions and black gum lines.

4. Precision Fit for Fewer Adjustments

Digitally milled to perfection, providing precise contact points and maximum longevity.

5. Kind to Opposing Teeth

Smooth finishes reduce enamel wear on natural teeth — something many hard materials have trouble with.

Crown Choices– Varieties of Advance Zirconia and Their Ideal Applications

One material. Several solutions.

Advance Zirconia is available in styles that address clinical and cosmetic requirements equally.

Not all smiles are created equal, and Advance Zirconia provides customized solutions for every case:

  • Monolithic Zirconia: Best suited for molars and bruxers. Very strong, less translucent, and designed for durability.
  • Multilayered Zirconia: Best suited for front teeth. Provides enamel-like translucency with a natural gradient for aesthetic balance.
  • Implant Zirconia: Ideal for implant and full-arch restorations. Streamlined for loading capacity and biocompatibility with titanium or hybrid frames.
  • Emax-Layered Zirconia: Ideal for esthetically demanding cases. Marries a zirconia core to an Emax cap for the most realistic sheen.

Behind the Scenes – The Creation Process for Advance Zirconia Crowns

Digital scan to gleaming look – where the alchemy takes place.

Witness the perfect marriage of precision, technology, and craftsmanship in every Advance Zirconia crown.

  • Digital impressions take high-definition 3D scans of the patient's mouth
  • CAD design permits precise customization of fit and shape
  • CAM milling cuts the crown from a solid block of zirconia
  • Sintering hardens the material under intense heat
  • Staining and glazing add shade, shine, and surface polish
  • Final QC inspections guarantee fit, function, and perfect finish before delivery

The outcome? A crown engineered to perform and constructed to endure. 

Face-Off – Advance Zirconia vs. PFM, Emax, and Metal Crowns

All crowns aren't made equal — and here's why.

Advance Zirconia puts well-known players in their place.

1. Advance Zirconia vs. PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal)

PFM Pros:

  • Durable owing to metal substructure
  • Age-old application in dentistry

PFM Cons:

  • Gray lines showing near gum after some time
  • The Porcelain layer might chip or fracture
  • Metal tends to bring about allergic responses

Advance Zirconia Wins With:

  • Full translucency — no metal shadowing
  • One-piece strength (no layers to chip)
  • 100% metal-free and biocompatible

2. Advance Zirconia vs. Emax (Lithium Disilicate)

Emax Pros:

  • Excellent aesthetics
  • Great for anterior (front) teeth

Emax Cons:

  • Less durable under heavy bite force
  • Not ideal for bruxers or posterior teeth

Advance Zirconia Wins With:

  • Higher flexural strength
  • Suitable for both front and back restorations
  • Aesthetic options with multilayer and Emax-layered zirconia

3. Advance Zirconia vs. Metal Crowns

Metal Pros:

  • Extremely durable
  • Minimal wear on opposing teeth

Metal Cons:

  • Poor aesthetics
  • Visibility is a clincher for most patients
  • Feels strange in the mouth

Advance Zirconia Wins With:

  • Natural tooth-like appearance
  • Comfort and confidence in every smile
  • Long-lasting durability without the metallic look

Advance Zirconia combines the beauty of Emax, the strength of metal, and outperforms PFM without the drawbacks.

Is Advance Zirconia for You or Your Patients?

Wondering if the Advance Zirconia is the perfect fit?

Here's when it works best for patients and clinicians alike.

  • If you want crowns that are gorgeous, comfortable, and long-lasting, Advance Zirconia is a near-certainty.
  • It's perfect for patients with metal allergies, high bite forces, or high cosmetic demands.
  • For practitioners, it's a solution that works across anterior, posterior, and implant-supported situations.

Alternatives like Emax or metal are reserved only for severely space-limited cases or ultratranslucent esthetic zones — but even those are no longer the norm.
