What Are Zirconium Crowns?


Zirconium crowns are an advanced option in modern restorative and cosmetic dentistry, known for their exceptional strength, durability, and lifelike appearance. They are made from zirconium dioxide, a ceramic material that is both metal-free and biocompatible, making it safe for most patients, even those with metal sensitivities. Zirconium crowns are highly resistant to wear and can withstand significant chewing pressure, making them a reliable choice for both front and back teeth.

One of the standout benefits of zirconium crowns is their natural translucency, which closely mimics the appearance of real teeth. This makes them a preferred option for patients who want their dental restorations to blend seamlessly with their surrounding teeth. Additionally, zirconium crowns are resistant to staining, preserving their aesthetic appeal over time. With advancements in dental technology, zirconium crowns are now more customizable than ever, allowing dentists to tailor their shape, size, and shade for a perfect fit and a beautiful smile.

For this treatment, you can receive personalized support either online or through our team, which regularly visits the UK. We meet face-to-face with our UK patients to provide detailed explanations and ensure a clear point of contact throughout the entire journey.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Zirconium Crowns?


Zirconium crowns are suitable for individuals who need to restore damaged, discolored, or weakened teeth. They are a perfect solution for those with large cavities, cracked teeth, or after root canal treatments. Additionally, patients looking for a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to metal or porcelain crowns can benefit from zirconium crowns. Since zirconium is hypoallergenic, it’s also an excellent option for those with allergies or sensitivities to metal-based restorations.

How Are Zirconium Crowns Applied?


The process begins with a thorough dental examination to assess whether zirconium crowns are a suitable option. The dentist will prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to create space for the crown. Afterward, impressions are taken to create a custom crown that perfectly fits your tooth. While the final crown is being fabricated in a lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth. Once the zirconium crown is ready, it is cemented securely in place, ensuring a natural look and feel.

Benefits of Zirconium Crowns


Zirconium crowns offer a combination of durability and aesthetics. They are stain-resistant, ensuring your smile remains bright over time. Their strength makes them less likely to chip or break compared to other materials. Zirconium crowns also provide a natural translucency that closely resembles natural teeth, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a seamless look. Additionally, they are metal-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and gum discoloration.

Zirconium Crowns Cost in Turkey


Turkey has become a global hub for dental treatments, offering high-quality services at competitive prices. The cost of zirconium crowns in Turkey is significantly lower than in many Western countries, often ranging between $150 and $300 per tooth, depending on the clinic, location, and complexity of the procedure. This affordability, combined with cutting-edge technology and skilled professionals, makes Turkey a preferred destination for dental tourism.
