Zirconia Crown on Implant

The final tooth-coloured restoration that completes a dental implant: a zirconia crown attached to the integrated implant to recreate a natural-looking, hard-wearing tooth. Zirconia is a strong, metal-free ceramic that blends well with surrounding teeth. This is the prosthetic stage of implant treatment and is priced separately from the implant placement itself.

Once a dental implant has integrated with the jawbone, a crown is needed to restore the part of the tooth you see and use. At this clinic that crown is made from zirconia — a high-strength, tooth-coloured ceramic that contains no metal, giving both durability for chewing and a natural appearance that suits front and back teeth alike. The zirconia crown is the prosthetic, restorative stage of implant treatment and follows the surgical placement of the implant and the healing period. To make the crown, the dentist takes impressions or a digital scan of the implant and the surrounding teeth so the restoration matches your bite and the shade of your natural teeth. The finished zirconia crown is then secured to the implant via an abutment. Because zirconia is metal-free it avoids any dark line at the gum margin that older metal-based crowns could show, helping the result look like a real tooth. This crown is itemised separately from the implant placement and the healing screw, so a complete single-tooth implant restoration is the sum of those stages — which the dentist explains clearly at the implant consultation. Zirconia restorations are hard-wearing, and the clinic provides a two-year warranty on its work; good hygiene and regular check-ups help protect the implant and crown over the long term.
