Full-Contour Zirconia Crown

A tooth-coloured crown milled from a single block of zirconia to cap a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth, restoring its strength, shape and appearance. Centrum ELLMED offers full-contour zirconia alongside layered porcelain-on-zirconia and all-ceramic Empress crowns, with prices published per unit. Zirconia is valued for its strength and is often chosen for back teeth or where durability matters.

A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a tooth which has been weakened by decay, a large filling, a fracture or root canal treatment, protecting what remains and rebuilding the tooth's natural form. A full-contour zirconia crown is milled from a single solid block of zirconium oxide, a very hard tooth-coloured ceramic, which makes it a robust choice particularly for molars and patients who grind, while still blending with surrounding teeth. At Centrum ELLMED the tooth is first prepared and shaped, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a temporary crown is fitted while the permanent one is made; the prosthetics are produced to match the patient's existing teeth in shade and form. The clinic publishes several crown options so patients can choose according to position and budget — full-contour zirconia at 2,500 zł for maximum strength, a layered porcelain-fused-to-zirconia crown at 2,750 zł for a highly natural look, an Empress all-ceramic crown at 2,200 zł, and a more economical porcelain-on-steel crown at 1,850 zł — and fitting of an ELLMED-made crown is included in the restoration price. The dentist advises which material suits each tooth based on its location, the bite and aesthetic needs. A well-fitted crown is associated with restored chewing function and a longer service life for the underlying tooth when supported by good oral hygiene.
