Dental crowns made of zirconium (also known as zirconia) are incredibly durable and perfect for bridge work. Zirconium crowns are becoming more and more common among other kinds of crowns because they are 100% biocompatible, look natural, and are incredibly durable. Zirconium has been developed into formulations with improved strength and translucency.
Most of the time, it is quite impossible to remove a zirconium crown for intervention if there are secondary caries (tooth decay) underneath. Our patients are unconcerned about this because of the unique adhesive we employ.
Benefits Of Zirconium Crowns
- Zirconium crowns resemble the translucency of your actual teeth, giving them a more natural appearance. Like your actual teeth, they also reflect light. Additionally, they can be altered to any colour, shape, and size to match the rest of your teeth.
- Zirconium crowns are not made of metal, unlike porcelain fused to metal crowns, and thus do not corrode over time. Additionally, if the gums recede, there is no unsightly metal lining at the gum line.
- 100% of zirconium is biocompatible. Any negative effects or allergic responses are highly uncommon.
- Zirconium crowns are incredibly strong and long-lasting. They can handle wear and tear effectively as well as biting pressures. They don’t chip off as porcelain does.
- Zirconium crowns don’t induce teeth hypersensitivity when consuming hot and cold foods and beverages because of their low electrical conductivity.
- Zirconium crowns are minimally invasive, which means they require less tooth removal than many other kinds of dental crowns since they adhere nicely to your teeth.
- Zirconium crowns don’t emit ions that can change the colour of dental gingiva and are gentle on the gums.
Zirconium Crowns Procedure
1st Appointment
- Clinical evaluation, including X-ray analysis, counseling, and crown color matching to your natural teeth.
- A local anesthetic is administered.
- Removal of a little piece of tooth structure to prepare the tooth.
- Using an intra-oral camera or a traditional mould that is filled with dental paste and that you are requested to bite into, an impression is taken of your tooth. Your crown will then be made at our on-site dental laboratory using the impression that was supplied there.
- Placing a temporary crown while waiting for your permanent one to be completed. Till your final fitting appointment, stay away from chewing on that side and avoid sticky or hard foods.
2nd Appointment
- Examining the bite, size, shape, and color of the fit. In some instances, the crown might be polished and cemented at the second visit if the results are satisfactory.
3rd Appointment
- The crown’s final adjustments, polishing, and permanent fixing. Where necessary, one or two further appointments may be scheduled to ensure a perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose Zirconium Crowns?
The substance zirconium, also known as zirconia, is biocompatible, non-allergic, and non-conductive, and has the special property of allowing light to pass through so that the crown appears to be a real tooth. The added comfort of zirconium and zirconia not cracking or chipping over time is another benefit.
Dental crowns have traditionally been made of porcelain. However, full porcelain crowns are susceptible to breakage. To get around this, the crowns are made of metal, in this example zirconia, and then the porcelain is fused to the outside.
What to Expect After You Have Your Zirconium Crown?
Following the cementation of your new crown, you might become more sensitive to the cold. This is expected because the process may cause the tooth and the surrounding area to become slightly inflamed. In the first few days, you can also feel as though your bite is wrong. After then, there might need to be a small tweak if the "off" sense is still present.
Maintaining great oral hygiene is crucial while wearing a new crown or bridge. Even while having a crown on a tooth may give you the false idea that it won't decay like your natural teeth, decay can nonetheless form close to the gum line. You should keep brushing and flossing as usual.
Zirconium crowns are extremely durable, yet they still have the same risk of breaking as a normal tooth. A crown or bridge should not be used in any way that might harm a natural tooth. Avoid chewing ice because sudden temperature changes might cause natural teeth and crowns to break more easily.
