What is it?
Zirconia is a white, strong material used instead of a metal base. Because it transmits light much like a natural tooth, it leaves no grey line at the gum edge.
It restores both the look and the strength of teeth that are broken, heavily filled, discoloured or root canal treated.
Who is it for?
- Heavily filled or broken teeth
- Teeth that need strengthening after a root canal
- Replacing old metal-based crowns
How does it work?
- Examination and plan
- Tooth preparation and impressions
- Try-in
- Cementation
Frequently asked questions
How long does zirconia last?
With good oral care and regular check-ups it can be used for many years. If you grind your teeth at night, we may recommend a night guard.
Does getting crowns hurt?
Local anaesthesia is applied while the teeth are prepared. You will not feel pain during the procedure.
