Overview
About Zirconia Crowns and Bridges
A dental crown is a cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or root-canal-treated tooth to restore shape, strength, and appearance.
Zirconia is a high-strength ceramic that combines durability with a natural white appearance. There is no metal line at the gumline and it is a good choice for visible teeth.

Common questions
FAQs about Zirconia Crowns and Bridges
How long does a zirconia crown last?
A well-placed zirconia crown can last 15 years or more with good home care and routine check-ups.
Is zirconia better than metal ceramic?
Zirconia is metal-free, stronger than many older porcelain options, and avoids a dark gumline.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
Many root-canal-treated teeth need crowns because they are weaker and more likely to fracture.
