What are zirconium crowns and how are they fitted?
Zirconia is a high-strength, biocompatible ceramic material used in dentistry. Because it contains no metal, it avoids the grey line at the gum margin and transmits light much like a natural tooth.
The teeth are prepared for impressions, the crowns are produced in the laboratory from a digital design, and they are bonded after a try-in. Shade selection is made together with you, considering your skin tone and neighbouring teeth.

- Tooth-like appearance through natural light transmission

Zirconium crowns vs metal-backed crowns
The right method depends on the tooth and the person. The clear answer comes at the examination.
Are zirconium crowns right for you?
They are considered for teeth with marked discolouration or shape problems, and for teeth weakened by decay or large fillings. Gum health and your bite are examined first; the clear answer comes from the dentist's assessment.
- Marked discolouration or shape problems
- Teeth weakened by large fillings or decay

Questions on your mind
How long do zirconium crowns last?
Longevity depends on oral care, grinding habits and regular check-ups. With good care they can serve for many years; realistic expectations are discussed at the examination.
How much of the tooth is reduced?
Some preparation of the tooth is required; the amount depends on the tooth's condition and is planned as conservatively as possible by the dentist.
Will they look natural?
Because zirconia transmits light much like a natural tooth, a natural look is the goal; shade and shape are chosen together with you. Results vary by person.
How many days does the process take?
It is usually completed in a few clinic visits over about 5–7 days; the exact schedule is set after the examination.
