Zirconia crowns: a durable, natural-looking crown material used to restore tooth shape, colour and function.
Zirconia crowns are a durable, natural-looking method of restoring a tooth. They can be considered for changing tooth colour, shape or size, or for restoring a damaged tooth.
At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, zirconia treatment begins with preparing the tooth surface and taking an impression. Personalised crowns can be fabricated with digital design support.
Zirconia is also a material commonly used for prostheses fitted onto implants.
