1. What is White Zirconia Blocks?
White zirconia block is a high-performance ceramic material used for making dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, and implant abutments. It is known for its excellent strength, stability, and natural tooth-like appearance. The block is milled in dental labs using CAD/CAM systems, then sintered at high temperatures to achieve its final hardness and translucency.
2. Advantages of White Dental Zirconia Blocks Materials
High strength: Suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations, including long-span bridges.
Natural translucency: Closer to natural teeth in shade and brightness, especially in our ST, SHT, and UT series.
Biocompatibility: Safe and well-tolerated by gum tissue.
Stable performance: Minimal shrinkage, reliable in large-scale production.
Flexible applications: From monolithic crowns to layered restorations.
3. Material of White Zirconia Blocks
All our zirconia blocks are made from premium quality Yttria-stabilized zirconium oxide (3Y, 4Y, 5Y), carefully selected for dental applications. We strictly control powder particle size, purity, and homogeneity to ensure stable quality across all batches.
| Component | Content | Function |
| ZrO₂ + HfO₂ + Y₂O₃ | ≥99% | Forms the main structure, ensuring high strength and durability. |
| Y₂O₃ | 4.5% – 6.0% | Acts as a stabilizer to improve toughness and crack resistance. |
| Al₂O₃ | <0.15% | Enhances sintering behavior and mechanical properties. |
| Other oxides | <0.15% | Maintains uniformity and quality without affecting translucency. |
4. Application of White Zirconia Blocks
Our blocks are suitable for:
Crowns & bridges
Veneers & inlays
Implant-supported abutments
Customized full-arch restorations
Temporary and permanent dental prosthetics
We offer four series to meet different clinical needs:
HT (High Strength): Ideal for long-span bridges and posterior teeth.
ST (Super Translucent): Balances strength and esthetics, good for posterior crowns.
SHT (Super High Translucent): Best for anterior restorations with high esthetic demand.
UT (Ultra Translucent): Maximum translucency, designed for top-level esthetic cases.
5. Sintering Curve of White Zirconia Blocks
Each zirconia series has its recommended sintering curve. A typical example:
Heating rate: 8–10°C/min
Holding temperature: 1500–1550°C (depends on block type)
Holding time: 2 hours
Cooling rate: Natural cooling
We provide detailed sintering curves with every shipment for best results.
6. Process of White Zirconia Blocks
Design: Scan the impression and design restoration via CAD.
Milling: Choose the appropriate zirconia block size and type, mill with CAM machine.
Drying: Remove moisture before sintering.
Sintering: Heat treatment as per recommended curve.
Coloring (optional): Pre-shaded or dipped depending on desired effect.
Finishing: Polish, glaze or layer porcelain as needed.
7. Best Practices for Handling and Storing White Zirconia Blocks
Store in a clean, dry place to avoid moisture absorption.
Handle blocks with clean gloves to avoid contamination.
Keep away from direct sunlight and strong acids/alkalis.
Use before expiration date for best performance.
