Zirconia is a tooth-colored material found in the structure of porcelain and used instead of metal. Since it does not cause the gray reflection caused by metal, it gives veneered teeth a more aesthetical and natural look. The color change in the gingiva where the veneer and the gingiva meet is less common in zirconia veneers. Allergic reactions to the materials found in metal, which some people may have, are not experienced with zirconia veneers.
