Zirconia Crown

A full-coverage zirconia crown that restores a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth, rebuilding its shape, strength and appearance. Zirconia is a strong, metal-free ceramic that transmits light naturally, making it a popular choice for both front and back teeth. Dental Corner also offers porcelain crowns and crowns designed for implants, with digital smile design used to plan the final look.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the whole visible part of a tooth to protect and restore it when a filling is no longer enough — for example after a large cavity, a fracture, root canal treatment or significant wear. A zirconia crown is made from a high-strength ceramic that combines durability with a natural, translucent appearance, and because it contains no metal it avoids the dark line that can sometimes show at the gum edge of older crown types. At Dental Corner the tooth is first prepared by removing decay and shaping it to receive the crown, and a digital or conventional impression is taken. Where appearance matters, digital smile design can be used to plan the shape and proportions before the crown is made. A temporary crown protects the tooth while the permanent zirconia crown is fabricated, then the final crown is checked for fit, bite and colour and cemented in place. Zirconia is well suited to molars that take heavy chewing forces as well as visible front teeth, and the same technology is used for crowns placed on implants. Crowns are appropriate for adults with a tooth that is broken down, root-treated or cosmetically compromised; good gum health and hygiene are associated with longer-lasting results, and the dentist confirms whether a crown, veneer or filling is the most conservative option at consultation.
