Patient information
A zirconia crown is a metal-free restoration that can resemble a natural tooth in colour and light transmission. It may be considered for some teeth with structural, shape or colour problems; suitability is determined after examination.
The tooth, gums, bite and less invasive alternatives are assessed before deciding whether a crown is appropriate.
The tooth is prepared and an impression is taken. A temporary crown may be used during the laboratory stage.
The crown is prepared to the selected shade and the recorded measurements.
Fit, bite and colour are checked before the crown is permanently cemented.
Preparing a tooth for a crown requires removal of some tooth structure and cannot be reversed. Discuss the amount of preparation and less invasive alternatives with your dentist.
Not every discolouration needs a crown. Professional cleaning or whitening may be suitable in some cases.
Temporary sensitivity can occur. If the crown feels high when biting, contact the clinic for an adjustment rather than waiting for it to resolve on its own.
The crown does not decay, but the natural tooth at its edge can. Brushing, interdental cleaning and regular checks remain important.
It may be considered for some teeth with substantial loss of structure, fractures, persistent colour changes or after root canal treatment. Examination determines suitability.
Preparation, impressions, laboratory production and try-in commonly require several visits. The number varies with the treatment plan.
The number of teeth, treatment needs and laboratory plan determine the fee after examination.
