A ten-unit anterior bridge made with zirconium oxide.
Almost any other ceramic would crack under the flexing stress of a ten-unit restoration. Zirconium oxide, however, also known as "ceramic steel," has an exceptionally high tensile strength and is therefore suitable for this type of restoration.
 Here is a photograph of the zirconium framework in place in the mouth, being tried in to verify the fit.
 Here is the final result, after being veneered with the highly esthetic veneering ceramic.
