Zirconia crowns in Dubai — strong, metal-free crowns
Older crowns with a metal base can show a dark line at the gum. Zirconia avoids metal entirely while remaining strong enough for chewing forces.
Zirconia crowns are metal-free ceramic crowns known for high strength, which makes them well suited to back teeth and to patients who grind. Layered or high-translucency zirconia is also used for front teeth.
Key facts
- Metal-free
- Very strong — suits back teeth
- Natural shade options
- Usually two visits
When zirconia is recommended
Heavily filled or root-treated back teeth, bridges, implant crowns and patients with metal sensitivity or grinding habits.
Zirconia vs porcelain
Layered porcelain can give the most lifelike front-tooth translucency; zirconia prioritises strength. Your dentist chooses per tooth.
How they are made
After preparation, a digital or conventional impression is sent to the lab; the crown is fitted at a second visit.
A crown covers and strengthens a damaged tooth; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side. Zirconia and porcelain options combine strength with a natural appearance.
