Premium zirconium crowns that combine exceptional strength with natural aesthetics — biocompatible, stain-resistant, and built to last a lifetime.
Zirconium crowns are advanced dental restorations crafted from zirconia — an exceptionally strong, metal-free ceramic material derived from zirconium dioxide. Unlike traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, zirconium crowns offer superior aesthetics with a natural translucency that closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of real tooth enamel, while providing outstanding durability and biocompatibility.
At Mers Health Istanbul, we use state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology and premium-grade zirconia blocks to design and mill each crown with microscopic precision, ensuring a perfect fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting results backed by our 10-year warranty.
Zirconia boasts a resistance strength of 900–1100 MPa, making it approximately three times stronger than traditional porcelain. This makes it ideal for both front and back teeth, including molars that endure significant bite pressure.
The semi-translucent quality of zirconia allows light to pass through in a way that closely resembles natural tooth enamel. Combined with precise digital shade matching, the result is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Zirconia is completely metal-free and hypoallergenic, making it safe for patients with metal sensitivities. Unlike metal-ceramic crowns, zirconia never causes the dark line that can appear at the gum margin over time.
The non-porous surface of zirconia resists staining from coffee, tea, and wine, maintaining its brightness for years. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, zirconium crowns can last 15–20 years or more.
Zirconium crowns are recommended for patients with severely damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth; those needing crown replacements after root canal treatment; patients with metal allergies or sensitivities; anyone seeking a durable, natural-looking restoration for both front and back teeth; and patients wanting to replace old metal-ceramic crowns that have caused gum discoloration.
Your dentist performs a comprehensive examination including panoramic X-rays and 3D scans. Teeth are carefully reshaped under local anesthesia to accommodate the crowns, with minimal enamel removal thanks to zirconia's superior strength. Digital impressions are captured using an intraoral scanner for maximum precision. Temporary crowns are placed for protection and aesthetic comfort.
Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, your custom crowns are designed digitally — allowing precise control over shape, size, and bite alignment. Each crown is then milled from a single block of premium zirconia and processed through sintering for maximum strength. Our ceramists perform detailed shade matching and finishing to ensure each crown blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Your permanent crowns are tried in and carefully adjusted for comfort, bite alignment, and aesthetics. During rehearsal sessions, your feedback is incorporated to ensure complete satisfaction. Once approved, the crowns are permanently cemented using specialized bonding material. You leave Istanbul with a transformed, confident smile.
The zirconium crown procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. After placement, some mild sensitivity to temperature is normal for the first few days but subsides quickly. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions including proper brushing and flossing techniques, dietary guidelines, and recommendations for protecting your crowns long-term. Regular dental check-ups every six months will help maintain optimal results.
