A member asked:
My dentist placed a porcelain fused to zirconia crown on my lateral incisor but gave no instructions after. can i eat normal on it, is it durable etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally speaking..: These types of crown are extremely durable and you can go about normal eating, brushing and flossing. Having said that, without personally treating you and seeing x-rays of your teeth, we know if any special precautions or instructions are warranted. Call and ask your own dentist just to be sure.
