They are very strong
Zirconia crowns are as strong as a metal crown. But porcelain is porcelain and a segment can still fracture off as it happens in porcelain crowns. Dr Sanchez
Zirconia crowns are the latest material that is kind to opposing teeth and can also protect the tooth that it is on, given that the material is well adjusted and polished. They are very strong and is basically a lab fabricated diamond.
