Zirconia crowns
A crown made from zirconium-dioxide ceramic to restore a tooth. Its suitability depends on tooth condition and the restorative plan.
About Service
Zirconia crowns are ceramic restorations that restore a prepared tooth’s shape. Selection considers design, loading and appearance.
The material name does not establish every characteristic of a particular crown. Confirm the selected material and design before fabrication, as these details can affect the restorative choice.
What the treatment or procedure involves
- Assessment and agreement on the restoration.
- Preparation and recording.
- Try-in, placement and care advice.
Important considerations
- The crown requires tooth preparation and may need repair or replacement.
- A strong material does not eliminate chipping, loosening or disease around the restoration.
Information helps prepare for a consultation and does not replace an individual diagnosis. The dentist determines the procedure, materials and timing after assessment.
Indications
- A tooth requiring crown coverage where the material is clinically suitable.
Contraindications
- Insufficient restorable tooth structure or an unsuitable supporting tooth requires an individual assessment.
- Active decay, infection or gum disease may need treatment before the final restoration.
- Confirmed sensitivity to a proposed material calls for an alternative material.
Advantages
- A metal-free ceramic restorative option.
- Restoration of tooth shape and chewing function.
