What is a zirconia crown?
Zirconia is a ceramic-based material that can be used for crowns and some other dental restorations. When appropriate, a crown may be planned to cover the visible part of a tooth and support its shape and function.
Who may be considered?
The dentist assesses remaining healthy tooth structure, gum health, bite, tooth grinding and the relationship with neighbouring teeth. The same material or procedure may not be suitable for every patient.
Treatment planning and stages
After examination, stages may include preparing the tooth, taking an impression or scan, making the restoration and checking its fit. Procedures and the number of visits vary by individual.
Care and follow-up
Cleaning the tooth and gum line is important. Brush and clean between the teeth daily, avoid biting hard objects and attend recommended check-ups. Contact your dentist if the crown feels loose, breaks or affects your bite.
Frequently asked questions
Is zirconia suitable for every tooth?
The dentist assesses suitability based on the tooth's structure, bite and other clinical findings.
How long does a crown last?
Its lifespan depends on many factors, including care, oral conditions and individual habits; no exact duration can be guaranteed.
Does the tooth beneath a crown need care?
Yes. Regular cleaning around the crown margin and gums is particularly important.
