Zirconia crowns
Heavily restored teeth rebuilt with zirconia crowns rather than replaced.
Crowns rebuilt in zirconia. A crown wraps the whole tooth, so it is the right treatment where a tooth is already heavily filled, broken or root-treated — situations where a veneer would have too little sound structure to bond to.
The distinction matters and it is where honest and dishonest dentistry part company: on healthy teeth, grinding for crowns when veneers would do removes tooth structure you never get back. Which teeth need which is decided one by one at assessment. Our guide to zirconia crowns goes through the material and its lifespan in detail.
Crown work usually fits into a short visit, with the fixed written quote issued after the scan.
