Don’t compromise between strength and aesthetics. Zirconia crowns are a natural, strong, and highly biocompatible solution for damaged or weakened teeth.
Zirconia crown is made of extremely strong and aesthetic zirconium oxide, which is also highly biocompatible. It stands out for its high resistance, long life and natural appearance, indistinguishable from your own teeth. Zirconia crowns are metal-free, so there is no gray edge at the gum like some other types of crowns.
The dentist will first assess the condition of your tooth, take X-rays, and evaluate whether a zirconium crown is suitable for you. He or she will explain the treatment process to you and prepare a price calculation.
The tooth is gently ground into a shape that will allow for the precise placement of the zirconium crown. If the tooth is weakened or damaged, endodontic treatment (root canal treatment) may be performed before the procedure.
The dentist will then take an accurate digital scan or impression of your tooth, based on which the dental technician will create a custom-made zirconia crown for you.
While the permanent crown is being made (usually 1–2 weeks), your dentist will place a temporary crown that will protect the damaged tooth and maintain its functionality and aesthetics.
After the crown is made, its fit, color, and shape are checked. If everything fits, the dentist will permanently attach the zirconia crown to your tooth using dental cement.
Finally, the doctor will check whether the crown fits the bite correctly and make minor adjustments if necessary.
