Zirconia vs. Rosetta SP: Which Dental Crown is Right for You?

Getting a dental crown is all about getting your smile back on track—making it stronger, handier, and a lot more beautiful. But when it comes to materials, the choice usually boils down to two heavy hitters: Cercon® Zirconia and Rosetta SP.

At Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic, we use top-tier tech to make sure your new tooth feels as good as it looks. Here’s the lowdown on the difference between the two.

1. Cercon® Zirconia: The Heavyweight Champion

If you’re looking for something that can handle a lot of "wear and tear," Zirconia is your go-to. It’s an all-ceramic material that’s incredibly tough—so tough, in fact, that it’s often used in human hip replacements!

The Vibe: It’s 50% stronger than traditional ceramics and built to last.
The Look: Say goodbye to those old-school dark metal lines at the gum; Zirconia is metal-free and looks clean and natural.
Best for: Back teeth (molars) or dental bridges where you need maximum strength for chewing.

2. Rosetta SP (Lithium Disilicate): The Beauty King

If you’re more focused on a "picture-perfect" look, Rosetta SP is a total game-changer. It’s a Lithium Disilicate material designed to mimic the way natural teeth reflect the light.

The Vibe: It has a special translucency and opalescence, meaning it doesn't just look like a "fake tooth"—it looks like your tooth.
The Strength: While it’s slightly less "bulletproof" than Zirconia, it still packs a punch with 460 MPa of strength, making it very reliable for daily use.
Best for: Front teeth or any spot where you want a seamless, high-aesthetic finish.
