Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium dental crowns are one of the most modern and advanced treatments that combine aesthetics and durability. They provide a natural tooth appearance thanks to their high light transmission and do not contain metal, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions. Their compatibility with the gums makes them an excellent choice for long-term use.

What Are Zirconium Crowns?

Zirconium crowns are a type of ceramic-based, metal-free dental restoration designed to improve both the function and aesthetics of teeth. They are widely preferred by dentists due to their natural appearance and durability.

Provide a completely natural tooth look.
Do not contain metal, eliminating gray reflections.
Perfectly compatible with the gums, ensuring long-term use.
Highly resistant to wear, fractures, and cracks.
Do not stain or accumulate plaque, ensuring a hygienic oral environment.
