Dental crowns and bridges can be made from ceramic, zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or metal alloys. Ceramic and porcelain restorations are popular for visible teeth because they closely resemble natural enamel, while zirconia is often selected for its exceptional strength and durability. The right material depends on the location of the tooth, your bite, and your long-term restorative needs.
