Who May Be Suitable for Zirconia Crowns?
Many patients with damaged, heavily restored, worn, or weakened teeth may be suitable for zirconia crown treatment after a personalised clinical assessment.
Damaged or Weakened Teeth
Teeth affected by fracture, large fillings, or structural weakness may benefit from crown protection.
Heavily Restored Teeth
A zirconia crown may help support teeth that already have extensive restorations and need stronger long-term coverage.
Worn or Functionally Compromised Teeth
Teeth affected by wear or bite-related breakdown may be improved with a carefully planned crown restoration.
Aesthetic and Functional Concerns
Patients who want to improve both durability and appearance may be suitable after a clinical assessment.
What Types of Zirconia Crowns Are Available?
Zirconia crown treatment can be planned differently depending on tooth condition, smile goals, bite needs, and the area being restored.
Restore one damaged or weakened tooth with a durable crown designed for strength and natural appearance.
Several teeth can be restored together when function, wear, or aesthetics require a more comprehensive plan.
Some cases focus more on visible smile aesthetics, while others prioritise bite support, durability, or both.

I sincerely thank the doctor who performed my dental implant. From the first appointment, I felt confident thanks to the clear explanations and professional care. The procedure was almost painless and done with great precision, and the result is excellent. If you are looking for a trustworthy dentist, I highly recommend them. I am really happy with my choice.
I highly recommend them to anyone with a similar phobia. Thank you to the ULUBEY family for their sincerity…
Thank you very much.
Today I went to Ali Cem Bey and Sürur Hanım on Barınaklar Boulevard. I have had trust issues in many clinics before due to the constant change of doctors. As someone who is afraid of dentists, I felt very comfortable here. Both dentists are very cooperative, attentive, and genuinely very good at their jobs. Having the same dentist at every appointment also gave me extra confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

What is a zirconia crown?
A zirconia crown is a full-coverage tooth restoration milled from zirconium dioxide — a high-strength ceramic used in medical and dental applications for its exceptional durability and biocompatibility. Unlike older metal-ceramic crowns (which have a metal substructure that can show as a dark line at the gum over time), a zirconia crown is entirely ceramic. This gives it two advantages that matter for a long-lasting, natural result: strength comparable to metal, and a translucency that blends with your natural teeth.
At Ulubey Dental Clinic in Antalya, every zirconia crown is designed digitally (Dentsply Primescan intraoral scan, no messy silicone impressions) and milled from Amann Girrbach zirconium blanks — an Austrian CAD/CAM system used in leading European dental laboratories. The result is a precise, monolithic (single-block) crown that resists chipping and wear far better than layered alternatives.
Zirconia vs E.max vs metal-ceramic — which crown is right for you?
Not every crown material suits every tooth. Here is the honest clinical comparison we use when planning your case:
| Material | Best for | Lifespan | Aesthetics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zirconium | Back teeth, grinders (bruxism), full-arch cases | 15–20 years | Very good — natural, slightly more opaque |
| E.max Press | Front smile line, single aesthetic crowns | 15+ years | Excellent — highest translucency |
| Metal-ceramic (PFM) | Budget cases, some bridge work | 10–15 years | Fair — metal margin can show at gumline over time |
In practice: for molars and patients who grind their teeth, we usually recommend zirconium for its strength. For a single front tooth where translucency matters most, E.max may be the better choice. We explain the trade-offs honestly in our zirconia vs porcelain crowns comparison.
How zirconia crown treatment works — step by step
Our zirconia crown process uses a fully digital workflow that completes in a single 5–7 day visit — no 3–4 month wait as with implants. Here is exactly what happens:
If your tooth needs a root canal before the crown, or a core build-up because it is heavily damaged, we assess this at the first visit and quote it transparently before starting. See how these factors affect your total in our zirconia crown cost calculator.

Why our zirconia crowns last — the material and the workflow
The difference between a zirconia crown that lasts 20 years and one that chips within two comes down to two things: the material grade and the precision of the fit.
Material: We use Amann Girrbach zirconium (Austrian, EU-manufactured, CE-certified) — the same CAD/CAM zirconia used in German university clinics. This is not the unbranded zirconia powder some budget clinics use. Every crown is monolithic (milled from a single block), which eliminates the weak bond layer where chipping usually starts.
Precision: A crown that does not fit perfectly traps bacteria at the margin and fails early. Our Dentsply Primescan digital workflow captures your tooth to within microns — far more accurate than traditional silicone impressions, especially for multiple crowns. This margin precision is why our crowns carry a 5-year written warranty.
This same digital-first, honest-materials approach runs through everything we do — from single crowns to full mouth reconstruction. See a real case: our patient Mitra’s full mouth reconstruction used 24+ Amann Girrbach zirconia crowns with TMJ repositioning, documented at one-year follow-up.
Are zirconia crowns right for you?
A zirconia crown may be the right choice if you have:
- A tooth cracked, fractured, or weakened by a large old filling
- A tooth that has had a root canal (which becomes brittle and needs full-coverage protection)
- An old metal-ceramic crown with a visible dark gumline you want replaced
- Worn-down teeth from grinding (bruxism) — zirconium’s strength suits this well
- A tooth that is both damaged and visible, where you want strength and a natural look together
When a veneer is better: if your tooth is healthy and you only want a cosmetic upgrade to its front surface, a minimally-invasive veneer preserves more natural tooth than a crown. We will always recommend the least invasive option that achieves your goal — see our smile design vs veneers guide and veneers page. And if you are researching Turkey for treatment, our Turkey teeth honest truth article explains why aggressive crown prep goes wrong — and how we avoid it.
