Initial diagnostics and tooth preparation
The doctor examines the abutment tooth, prepares the surface with a micro-shoulder under anesthesia, and takes a digital impression with an intraoral scanner.
Zirconia crowns in Odesa – iDentity Clinic & Lab
Zirconia crowns are modern prosthetic restorations made of zirconium dioxide that combine high strength with a natural appearance. With no metal framework, light refracts through the material much like natural enamel.
Crowns are made using CAD/CAM digital technology. We scan the mouth, the dental technician designs the crown in software, and a milling machine cuts it from a solid zirconia block.
These crowns are suitable for restoring any tooth. They withstand heavy chewing loads on molars and stay discreet in the smile zone without a dark line at the gum margin.

When zirconia crowns are chosen
How zirconia crowns differ from metal-ceramic
The difference is the absence of metal, precision of marginal fit, and esthetic properties.
Here is how this affects your teeth:
- Less tooth reduction is needed because zirconia crown walls can be thinner than metal-ceramic.
- The material is white and translucent, so the artificial tooth blends with neighboring natural teeth.
- Milling on a machine ensures an accurate fit that helps prevent bacterial leakage and secondary caries.
- Zirconia does not deform or change color over its service life.
When another option makes sense
If examination and 3D diagnostics show that:
- the crown is only mildly damaged and can be covered with an E-max inlay or veneer;
- a single anterior restoration needs maximum incisal transparency, where E-max pressed ceramic refracts light better;there is a strictly limited budget for temporary primary prosthetics.In these cases the prosthodontist may recommend E-max ceramics or temporary lab crowns. The final decision is made after digital scanning.
- наявний сильно обмежений бюджет на первинне тимчасове протезування.
У таких випадках ортопед запропонує керамічні конструкції E-max або тимчасові лабораторні коронки. Підсумкове рішення ухвалюється після цифрового сканування.
Cost of zirconia crowns
Zirconia crown
400$
Before tooth preparation the prosthodontist will confirm:
- type of zirconia block (monolithic or layered ceramic);
- need for prior treatment (root canal therapy, post-and-core);
- final cost of work as stated in the contract.

FAQ
Common questions about zirconia crowns
With proper care and hygiene, zirconia crowns often last more than 15–20 years.
No — if the tooth is vital and healthy, it can be prepared under anesthesia while preserving the pulp thanks to minimal material thickness.
Shade and translucency are selected on a shade guide to match your neighboring teeth.
Monolithic zirconia crowns are highly resistant to chipping because they are milled from a single high-strength block.
Same as natural teeth: brush twice daily, use floss or a water flosser, and see your dentist every six months.
