Zirconia Crown

A zirconia crown is a tooth-coloured cap that covers and protects a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth, restoring its strength and appearance. At Idental Clinique a porcelain-fused-to-zirconia crown is 2,000 zł, offering a strong, metal-free core with a natural finish. Full-ceramic (1,900 zł) and more economical porcelain-fused-to-metal (1,200 zł) crowns are also available depending on the tooth and aesthetic needs.

A dental crown is recommended when a tooth is too broken down, cracked or heavily restored to be safely rebuilt with a filling, or after root canal treatment when the remaining tooth needs full coverage to resist fracture. At Idental Clinique the tooth is prepared, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a temporary crown is fitted while the laboratory makes the definitive restoration; the final crown is then cemented and the bite adjusted. Zirconia is a popular choice because it combines high strength with a tooth-coloured, metal-free core, avoiding the dark line that can show at the gum with older metal-based crowns. The clinic prices a porcelain-fused-to-zirconia crown at 2,000 zł and a full-ceramic crown at 1,900 zł, both well suited to visible teeth where appearance matters; a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown at 1,200 zł remains a robust, more economical option, often used on back teeth. The same materials extend to bridges and to crowns on implants, allowing a consistent look across a treatment plan. Crowns are associated with restored chewing strength and protection of vulnerable teeth, and their longevity is supported by good oral hygiene and avoiding habits such as chewing very hard objects. The dentist advises on the most appropriate material for each tooth based on its position, the forces it bears and the aesthetic requirements, and a night guard may be suggested for patients who grind their teeth.
