Should I choose zirconia or acrylic for my All-on-4 teeth?

Both materials work well for All-on-4. Here's how they compare:

Zirconia: - Extremely strong and durable - Most natural appearance - Stain-resistant - Lasts 20+ years - Cannot chip easily - Premium option - Repairs require lab work

Acrylic (PMMA): - Proven track record - Good aesthetics - More affordable - Lasts 10-15 years - Can chip (but easy to repair) - Repairs done in-office - Lighter weight

Recommendations: - Budget-conscious: Acrylic is excellent - Maximum longevity: Zirconia - Teeth grinders: Zirconia preferred - First-time: Often start with acrylic

Many patients choose acrylic initially, then upgrade to zirconia when replacement is needed. Both options provide beautiful, functional smiles.

Your consultation will help determine the best choice for your needs and budget.
