A zirconium crown is a metal-free cap that covers a damaged, discoloured or root-treated tooth to restore its strength and appearance. Zirconia is exceptionally durable and lets light through like natural enamel, so there is no grey metal line at the gum.

- Natural translucency with no dark gum line
- Very strong and long-lasting
- Restores both function and appearance
- Backed by a 5-year guarantee

Frequently asked questions

Are zirconium crowns better than porcelain-fused-to-metal?+
They avoid the grey metal line and offer excellent strength and a more natural look.
How long do they last?+
Typically 10–15 years or more with good oral hygiene.
Will the crown look natural?+
Zirconia's translucency closely mimics enamel and is shade-matched to your teeth.
Is the procedure painful?+
It is done under local anaesthetic with minimal discomfort.
Can zirconium crowns stain?+
They are highly resistant to staining and easy to maintain.
Is the treatment painful?+
It is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure but little to no pain. Most patients report only mild, short-lived sensitivity afterwards.
