Overview
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.
Benefits
- Metal-free and biocompatible
- Natural translucency with no dark gum line
- Very strong and long-lasting
- Restores both function and appearance
- Backed by a 5-year guarantee
Who is this treatment for?
Usually suitable
- Heavily broken, root-treated or deeply discoloured teeth that need full coverage
- Patients with a metal allergy, or a visible grey line under an older metal-backed porcelain crown
- Back teeth that need full-coverage strength under a heavy bite
Needs assessment first
- A tooth that could still be saved with an inlay, onlay or filling, since a crown removes far more tissue
- Untreated decay or gum disease, which has to be dealt with before the tooth is prepared
- Grinders and clenchers who will not wear a night guard
Final suitability is decided by your consultant after examination and imaging in Istanbul.

Risks and an honest expectation
A crown means reducing the whole tooth, and that cannot be undone. Sensitivity for several weeks is common, and a proportion of prepared teeth later need root canal treatment because the nerve becomes inflamed. Zirconia is strong but can still chip, the cement can wash out, decay can start at the margin, and gum recession can expose a darker root above the crown; expect 10–15 years rather than a permanent solution. The bite is adjusted at fitting, a night guard is made where grinding is found, and the 5-year guarantee runs alongside annual checks.
