Zirconia crowns tend to cost more than other dental crowns, typically between $1,000 and $2,500 depending on your geographic location and material used.
Full-contour zirconia crowns can be translucent to allow your natural tooth color to show through, providing a more natural appearance than porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns.

Zirconia crowns are composed of a tough ceramic material that combines durability with beauty, offering long-term protection. Available in different shades to resemble natural teeth appearance, zirconia crowns have less of a tendency towards cracking than porcelain crowns while remaining more comfortable to wear than others types of dental restorations such as those needing metal bases for anchorage – making them more appropriate for patients suffering from bruxism while remaining more aesthetic than other kinds of crowns.
These crowns can be used to replace missing teeth or repair severe discoloration and cracks. Furthermore, they may also support bridges or partial dentures and be an excellent way to strengthen and protect a tooth after root canal treatment. In some instances, zirconium crowns may even support implants in full dental reconstruction procedures.
A crown’s lifespan depends on its design, material and care regiment; on average, they typically last between 15 years and 2 decades depending on a person’s individual oral hygiene habits and practices.
Zirconia is rapidly replacing porcelain, gold and metal as the go-to materials for dental crowns due to its many advantages over these materials. Most importantly, zirconia stands out by being stronger and more durable than porcelain while providing a more natural aesthetic; furthermore it is hypoallergenic and does not cause adverse reactions in users.
Zirconia crowns can be produced quickly and efficiently in a dental laboratory using CAD/CAM technology, which ensures an exact fit without gaps or shadows. Bulk material is delivered as solid blocks that are milled by CNC machine into 3D crown or framework designs without visible dark lines or shadows; designing one typically takes 1-2 hours.
Starting off, a dentist will prepare the tooth by extracting any decay and shaping its surface to ensure proper fit. They then take digital impressions or scans of their patient’s tooth in order to create digital files which will then be used by technicians using CAD/CAM software programs for crown design. When complete, their designs will be sent off to be milled onto zirconia blocks into custom crown shapes.

Zirconia is an innovative biocompatible material that closely resembles natural teeth. It can withstand high-strength forces without fracture, is stain-resistant, and offers good translucence that mimics natural tooth color – all qualities that make zirconia an increasingly popular choice for dental restorations. But durability depends on many factors – material quality as well as skillful dentists; therefore it is crucial that a lab with an excellent reputation be chosen when fabricating zirconia dental restorations.
Contrasting with metal-supported porcelain crowns, which may feature dark frameworks that show through to the final porcelain layer, zirconia crowns have white frameworks, making them look more natural. Zirconia crowns’ strength enables them to be milled directly from a solid block of monolithic zirconia without needing metal substructure or core support, giving the final crown a translucent look and increasing patient appeal. Zirconia crowns can often blend more easily with adjacent natural teeth than conventional porcelain crowns, making Avant’s state-of-the-art laboratory an invaluable asset in matching restorations to adjacent natural tooth colors and occlusion. Our lab uses various digital technologies, such as virtual articulation and shade-matching software, to ensure that every restoration crafted matches each patient’s tooth color and occlusion perfectly.
Zirconia crowns created by experienced technicians are both aesthetic and durable restorations that can last decades with proper care and maintenance. Zirconia restorations allow patients to avoid frequent root canal treatments that would otherwise require extractions.
However, zirconia crowns can be more difficult to adjust or repair than other dental restorative materials due to being made of strong ceramic that’s difficult to bend or cut. Therefore, it is crucial that you choose a lab experienced with fabricating zirconia and offering fast turnaround times for fabrication services.
Before creating a zirconia crown, your dentist will first take digital impressions and scans of your mouth before designing one with CAD software. After sending this file off to be cut on a mill, it will then be shaped specifically for your teeth depending on which type of crown is selected and whether shave-down of natural teeth will be necessary to accommodate for sufficient space; thereafter the carved crown will be cemented onto its counterpart using glass-ionomer resin dental cement.

Zirconia is a hard, durable ceramic material often used for dental crowns. This type of crown material can withstand biting and chewing forces without cracking under pressure – an excellent option for back teeth that are subjected to more pressure than usual. Furthermore, Zirconia crowns are biocompatible – meaning they won’t trigger allergic reactions or sensitivities like metal crowns may.
Zirconia crowns offer several benefits over other types of crowns, such as requiring less tooth preparation for placement. This can help preserve more natural tooth structure while improving comfort and function. Zirconia crowns also resist staining, meaning fewer maintenance or replacement visits in the future.
Zirconia crowns may have excellent durability, yet can still be vulnerable to chips and fractures, making their placement by an experienced dentist essential. While zirconia may be less brittle than porcelain or composite crowns, it still can be chipped by hard bites or accidental trauma and should therefore only be trusted into your mouth by those experienced enough in its use.
Zirconia crowns can be an excellent solution for patients suffering from bruxism or hard bite, as they are designed to withstand excessive biting forces that could otherwise lead to damage in these conditions. Furthermore, their aesthetic benefits mean they look very much like natural teeth while the translucent nature makes these crowns even more visually appealing than other restorative materials.
PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns are an increasingly popular choice among patients looking for crowns that look natural while remaining durable and long-term solutions. PFM crowns feature a metal base covered in porcelain that mimics natural teeth in terms of both appearance and function; their gray line between gum and tooth may cause concern among some users.
Full-contour zirconia crowns, which are constructed from solid blocks of zirconium, can also be an expensive yet highly durable and wear-resistant choice, making it suitable for back molars. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology uses milling machines to fabricate this crown right at your dentist office – no impression must be sent off to be created and then back.

Zirconia crowns may cost more than other dental crown options, but they provide superior durability and aesthetics. Zirconia crowns may be appropriate for patients suffering from bruxism or conditions that cause teeth grinding; additionally they protect enamel against heat or cold damage caused by extreme temperatures. Unfortunately, this material may not fit all teeth; your dentist may suggest another crown option instead (e.g. porcelain-fused-to-metal crown).
Zirconium crowns are an attractive, metal-free solution for front and back teeth that provide natural appearances and durable support. Zirconium crowns have become increasingly popular because of their natural appearance and durability – withstanding even intense chewing/biting forces without breaking or cracking under pressure, as well as not causing tooth sensitivity like other dental crowns do.
Dental crowns are an invaluable way for dentists to strengthen and repair teeth that have become weak, cracked, broken or misshaped due to decay, injury or misalignment. Dental crowns may also serve to cover discolored teeth as part of a bridge to replace missing ones or support implants – this procedure may also benefit the teeth with chronically cracked and missing corners as they strengthen them more securely than before.
Zirconia crowns come in two varieties: framework and full-contour. Framework zirconia crowns feature an outer layer of porcelain for more natural looking crowns that easily blend in with their surroundings; however, they may chip or delaminate over time. On the other hand, full-contour zirconia crowns feature one solid piece of zirconia making them more durable but less natural-looking and may not blend as well with your other teeth.
A dental crown procedure typically entails consultation, tooth preparation, impressions, temporary crown placement, custom crown creation and adjustment visits. Although not painful or stressful for some patients, initial appointments can be nerve-wracking if you’ve never been through it before. A dentist will numb the area before extracting decayed tooth tissue before placing a permanent crown over top. After treatment is complete, patients must practice good oral hygiene and arrange regular dental checkups to maintain optimal health and longevity of their restoration; otherwise it could result in sensitivity, decayed tooth loss!
