At Glamorous Aesthetic Clinic Islamabad, we understand that a damaged or weakened tooth will affect far more than your smile – it will also impact your ability to chew and speak comfortably and confidently each and every day. Large cavities, cracks, or root canal-treated teeth can compromise a tooth’s natural strength and once the filling or restoration no longer provides adequate support, the tooth can become susceptible to crack or breakage. Fortunately, a zirconia crown provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore the tooth’s functionality while maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth.

What Is a Zirconia Crown?
A zirconia tooth crown is a custom made cap that fits over a damaged or compromised tooth to restore its original form, size, strength, and appearance. Dentists use zirconium dioxide, a highly durable ceramic material that is recognized for its superior strength and biocompatibility. Due to the fact that zirconia crowns do not contain metal they are an ideal metal free dental crown option for those that desire both durability and aesthetics without darkened gum lines or metal allergies. Full zirconia crowns provide exceptional resistance to biting forces and therefore can be used on both posterior and anterior teeth.
Process of Getting a Zirconia Crown
The zirconia crown process starts with a thorough examination and digital impression of your tooth. The dentist will then reshape the tooth to create enough space for the crown to be applied. Once this has been done, a temporary crown will be fitted to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being created by the laboratory.Once your permanent crown has been completed it will be secured to your tooth using dental cement and should feel solid, natural and comfortable while providing full chewing function.
Objective of Zirconia Crown Treatment
- To restore strength and durability to weakened teeth
- Protect root canal treated teeth from fracture
- Improve smile aesthetics through natural color matching
- Provide long term structural support
- Maintain healthy gums through use of a biocompatible material
Results
Once the crown is fitted into place you will see the immediate benefits of having a zirconia crown. The tooth will look completely natural and function perfectly during eating and speaking. For anterior teeth, a zirconia crown will provide superior translucency giving you a very realistic appearance. As long as you practice proper oral hygiene and follow up with regular appointments with your dentist, a zirconia crown can last 10-15 years or longer.
