Monolithic zirconia crown
Highly durable all-zirconia crown with excellent aesthetics.
A monolithic zirconia crown is carved from a single block of zirconium dioxide, offering exceptional strength and excellent aesthetics without a metal substructure. These crowns are ideal for patients who need durability combined with a natural look.
Zirconia resists fracture and wear, making it a popular choice for molars and patients who grind their teeth. Modern shading and glazing techniques allow monolithic zirconia to blend well with neighbouring teeth.
What to expect
After tooth preparation and digital or conventional impressions, the crown is milled and finished in the laboratory. A temporary crown protects your tooth between visits. The final crown is tried in, adjusted for bite, and permanently bonded.
Who is it for
Monolithic zirconia crowns suit patients who want a metal-free restoration with maximum strength — particularly on back teeth or when bruxism is a concern. Your dentist will confirm whether zirconia is the best material for your specific tooth position and aesthetic goals.
After your treatment
Treat your zirconia crown like a natural tooth with regular brushing and flossing. Although extremely strong, avoid using teeth as tools to open packaging. Routine dental visits help monitor the crown and surrounding gum health.
