You can eat whatever you want with a ZIrconia crown Owen M Waldman, DMD Waldman Dental Group 6945 E Sahuaro Dr Suite A-2 Scottsdale, AZ 85254 office -480-551-6400
Basically, you should be able to eat pretty much what you want. But stay away from caramels or food like that on that crown. Sticky food can pull off crowns with the best bonding or cement. But zirconia crowns are the new standard for hardness and durability. Usually the underlying tooth would break before the crown would, they are that strong. Which is not to say that you should make a steady diet of jawbreakers and ice, just to test how strong they are! Dr. Conrad
