Zirconia Crowns
A natural-looking, light-transmitting crown without a metal base
Overview
Zirconia is a white base material that supports the porcelain. Its main advantage over a metal base is that it lets light through and looks more natural.
It can be used for permanent discolouration that does not respond to whitening, teeth with significant structure loss, protecting root-canal-treated teeth, bridges and teeth on implants. After the exam, the tooth is reduced on all sides, impressions are taken and you choose the shade together with your dentist. The crown is bonded after a try-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do zirconia crowns last?
It depends on your oral hygiene, bite and regular check-ups. With good care they can last many years, but no crown is guaranteed for life.
