What Are Zirconia Molar Crowns?
Zirconia molar crowns are the top pick for back teeth. They are strong and look good. These crowns use Y-TZP (a special form of zirconia) that won’t break when you bite hard. Our lab makes them just for you with 5-axis cutting tools. This helps them fit well in the mouth.
We make each crown with care. The crowns are HIP-processed to make them very strong. This means they last a long time in the mouth. You can use them for patients who grind their teeth at night.

Why Dentists Choose Our Zirconia Molar Crowns
1. Top-Tier Strength for Demanding Cases
Our monolithic zirconia crowns have 1200MPa strength. This means they can take very hard bites. The HIP-processed zirconia has almost no tiny holes inside. This makes it 37% stronger than regular zirconia.
These crowns work great for:
- Patients who grind teeth
- Back teeth that need to chew hard food
- Cases where other crowns have broken
2. Perfect Fit Every Time
We use CAD/CAM systems with 5-axis milling to make crowns that fit just right:
- 0.02mm edge fit – no gaps where germs can grow
- Smooth edges that feel good against gums
- Perfect bite contacts with other teeth
Our digital impression system works with all major scan brands. This makes it easy to send us your cases.
3. Less Grinding Means Happier Patients
Our zirconia crowns need less tooth grinding than metal crowns. You only need to remove 1.2mm from the tooth. This means:
- Less pain for patients
- More tooth left for strength
- Better for teeth with large fillings already

4. Natural-Looking Results
Even though they’re for back teeth, our crowns still look great:
- 3-layer color system matches nearby teeth
- Custom staining options for perfect match
- Polished finish looks like real teeth
For front teeth cases, check our anterior zirconia crown options with higher translucency.
5. Works With All Implant Systems
Our zirconia molar crowns work with all major implant brands:
- Custom abutment design
- Screw-retained or cement options
- Special emergence profiles for gum health
For implant cases, see our zirconia screw retained implant crown options.
Clinical Applications
Full-contour zirconia molar crowns work best for:
- Bruxism patients – won’t chip or crack
- Limited space cases – needs less room than PFM
- Implant restorations – can be screw-retained
- Bridge abutments – strong enough for multi-unit spans

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do zirconia crowns compare to PFM for molars?
A: Zirconia is stronger, needs less tooth removal, and won’t show metal at the gum line.
Q: What cement works best with zirconia?
A: Resin-modified glass ionomer or resin cements work well. Resin cements need a zirconia primer.
Q: Can these be adjusted chairside?
A: Yes, use fine diamonds with water cooling, then polish to prevent wear on opposing teeth.
Q: What’s the warranty period?
A: All our zirconia restorations carry a 5-year warranty against material failure.
