A member asked:
Does the porcelain on a porcelain fused to zirconia crown chip more easily than it does on a porcelain fused to metal crown?

No!: Layered porcelain on a " Bruxier" Zirconium crown is equal to or stronger than porcelain fused to a metal based crown and more esthetic! So while it can chip, it is an excellent choice for a restoration!

Crown types: In the hands of a skilled dentist and laboratory technician, both types of crowns should hold up equally well over time.
