Zirconia crowns – before and after
Transformation with zirconia crowns. Natural results and high strength.
What are zirconia crowns?
A zirconia crown is a cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It is made from zirconium oxide, a high-strength ceramic material that contains no metal.
They are commonly used to:
- Protect fractured or weakened teeth
- Restore teeth after root canal treatment
- Replace old crowns
- Improve the shape, color, or function of a tooth
- Cover dental implants (in selected cases)
Advantages of zirconia crowns
- High strength: Ideal for areas with heavy chewing forces (premolars and molars)
- Natural aesthetics: Good translucency and color that blends well with neighboring teeth
- Metal-free: No grayish margin that can sometimes appear with porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns
- Biocompatible: Very well tolerated by the surrounding tissues
- Durable: With proper care they can last many years
- Precise fabrication: Thanks to digital CEREC technology
Our zirconia crown process
- Evaluation and diagnosis
We examine the tooth, take X-rays, and determine the most suitable material. - Tooth preparation
The tooth is carefully prepared to receive the crown. - Digital design
Using CEREC technology we take a digital scan and design the crown with high precision. - Fabrication
The crown is milled from high-quality zirconia. In many cases this is completed the same day. - Placement and adjustment
We try in the crown, refine the bite, and cement it permanently.
Smiles Peru uses the revolutionary CEREC CAD/CAM system for zirconia crowns.

Frequently asked questions about zirconia crowns
How long do zirconia crowns last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last many years. Their strength makes them one of the most durable options available today.
Can they be made in a single visit?
Yes. Thanks to CEREC technology, many zirconia crowns are designed and fabricated on the same day, often eliminating the need for temporary crowns.
Does the treatment hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report only minimal discomfort afterward, similar to other dental restorations.
Do zirconia crowns look natural?
Yes. Modern zirconia has good aesthetics and translucency. On highly visible front teeth, maximum-aesthetic porcelain is sometimes preferred, but zirconia delivers very natural results in the great majority of cases.
Who is a good candidate?
Patients with:
- Fractured or weakened teeth
- Root canal treatments
- Old crowns that need replacement
- Need for high strength in the back of the mouth
- Preference for metal-free restorations
