ZIRCONIA CROWNS

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are an ideal solution for patients who want strong, durable, and highly aesthetic restorations. They are especially preferred for people who seek a natural smile without compromising on strength and functionality.

Unlike metal-supported crowns, zirconia crowns are made entirely from zirconium dioxide, a biocompatible and metal-free material. This makes them highly aesthetic and safe for patients with metal allergies. Because they contain no metal, they provide a much more natural appearance compared to traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.

Zirconia has a unique ability to transmit light, which makes the crowns look very similar to natural teeth. Even under strong lights, such as flash photography or stage lighting, zirconia crowns maintain their natural look, unlike metal-based crowns that may appear as dark shadows in the mouth.

The treatment process is straightforward. During the first appointment, impressions are taken, and temporary crowns may be placed to protect the teeth. In the laboratory, the crowns are carefully designed and milled using CAD/CAM technology to ensure an exact fit and natural look. Once ready, the crowns are securely bonded to the teeth.

Zirconia crowns are resistant to staining from substances such as coffee, tea, or cigarettes, and they preserve their color and brightness for many years. They are also highly durable and resistant to fractures, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.

Although zirconia crowns are thin and aesthetic, they are extremely strong after bonding. Once adhered with special resin-based materials, they cannot be separated from the tooth and function just like natural teeth, providing patients with long-lasting comfort and confidence.
