Zirconium is a durable material. Therefore, it allows long-term intraoral usage. Zirconium-based restorations have a lifespan of at least 15 years.
It may be necessary to apply crowns/veneers to the teeth due to excessive material loss, discolorations that cause aesthetic problems, or hereditary/congenital structural disorders. These restorative procedures applied with laboratory support after preparation are called crowns.
At Dera Dental Clinic, we craft zirconia crowns using high-quality, A(+) grade materials that combine durability with natural aesthetics. Our experienced dentists apply advanced techniques to ensure an excellent fit and long-lasting results—even in complex restorative cases. The key to a successful crown treatment lies not only in premium materials but also in the precision and skill of the clinical team, which is exactly what we offer at Dera.
For crowns, patients usually stay in Istanbul for 5 to 7 days. Duration may vary based on the number of crowns and treatment details.
At Dera Dental, a single zirconium crown is €300 —offering both strength and natural aesthetics at a fair price.
At Dera Dental, we craft zirconium crowns using high-quality materials for durability and aesthetics. Our treatments come with a 5-year warranty, ensuring long-term confidence in your smile.
Due to biocompatibility and high aesthetic results, we frequently do zirconium crowns and prosthetic structures in our country. We offer our patients digital clinics and laboratory facilities indispensable for modern dentistry and have become widespread in Turkey. With the convenience and advantages of digital dentistry, we perform treatments with high aesthetic results, focused on the patient's satisfaction at our clinic. With the opportunities provided by digital dentistry, zirconium-based crowns and bridgework treatment services are offered to our patients in a shorter time and on more affordable budgets compared with conventional methods.

One of the crown types applied to the teeth is zirconium-based crowns. On the periodical table, zirconium is classified as a white metal and a material used in dentistry as zirconium dioxide (zirconia). The crown can be fully zirconium-based, or only the infrastructure is zirconium, and the crown can be processed ceramic on zirconium.

An Aesthetic Look :
Zirconium-based materials have a structure that imitates and resembles natural teeth. Their natural appearances create excellent aesthetic results in the mouth. At the same time, owing to their opaque structure, they prevent the reflection of dark color on the darkened teeth. A light-colored crown covers the dark-colored tooth and the patient and dentist's satisfaction to the maximum level. Thanks to the ceramic and transparent layer processed on the zirconium infrastructure, maximum light permeability is provided. Therefore, the transparency and light permeability of the natural teeth are maintained, and aesthetic looks are brought to the desired level. Thanks to smile designs, zirconium veneers can be made to suit the patient's face shape and skin color, and they can also be in color and form according to the patient's request.
Bio-Compatibility:
Zirconium is a tissue-friendly material. High-quality zirconium is compatible with soft tissue and provides maximum soft tissue compatibility, called pink aesthetic. Compared to the classic nickel-cobalt-based metal fused crown applications, it causes fewer and rarely seen allergic reactions.
Resistance:
Zirconium infrastructures are materials resistant to breaking and cracking. Zirconium is a rigid material, also resistant to wear, and allows long-term use by the patient.
Metal-free:
Unlike porcelain fused metal (PFM) crowns and bridgework, a dark reflection of metal at the gum line is not observed in zirconium crowns. As a result, they are much more aesthetic.
It is important to remember that the zirconium-based crowns and bridgework applications' indication should be done by the doctor. Generally, the necessity of zirconium crowns/bridgework appears under these circumstances:

Yes. After the zirconium application, we apply 5 years of guarantee policy to our patients who follow the dentist's advice. Read more about our guarantee policy.
It is the healthiest if full mouth zirconium treatments take place minimum within 5-7 days.

No. Zirconium crown applications are not painful procedures. Zirconium application in preparation happens under local anesthesia on vital teeth, and the patient does not feel any pain. However, following the zirconium application, there may be sensitivity that decreases and disappears within approximately 2 months.
The steps of zirconium crown applications are similar to the other crown application steps of dentistry. Below are these steps:
High-level aesthetic results, tissue compatibility, long-term durability, preserving the original color and resistance to discoloration, and allowing design work during the production phase are the important advantages of zirconium-based crowns.
Zirconium-based crowns are more expensive than metal-fused crowns. Due to their rigid structure, chewing forces are directly reflected on the natural tooth or the implant without being absorbed, which can cause damage to the infrastructure and surrounding tissues if the force levels are high. Particularly in patients with bruxism, in case of excessive clenching and grinding, the ceramic structure on the zirconium may break/crack and wear on antagonist (opposite) teeth.
No, discoloration in zirconium crowns does not occur. They maintain their color by design throughout use. Contamination on the surfaces is easily removed during professional maintenance in clinical check-ups.
Full ceramic restorations and zirconium-based crowns have their own advantages and disadvantages. Even though full ceramic restorations have a more transparent and aesthetic structure, it is more difficult to get rid of the dark shades reflected from the discolored teeth. With this, more durable zirconium-based crowns are advantageous compared to full ceramic crowns.
Yes. In zirconium crowns, the desired color is easily created, and natural looks are easily provided according to the patient's/doctor's preference.
Zirconium is a rigid material. Despite its rigid structure, it may break due to excessive chewing movements. Especially in patients with bruxism and parafunctional habits such as teeth clenching/grinding, zirconium-based crowns may show brittleness.
We recommend our patients perform routine and daily oral care. Along with effective tooth brushing, daily use of oral irrigators and dental floss is rather important. Furthermore, periodic professional care several times a year is a rather important element for long-term oral health.
