Zirconium crown on an implant in Warsaw – reliability and aesthetics
Zirconium is a modern material for dental crowns with high biocompatibility and strength of over 900 MPa. For comparison, natural tooth enamel withstands about 250-300 MPa, which means zirconium is three times more resistant. The design can withstand the load that occurs when chewing nuts, carrots or other hard products.
Installing a zirconium dental crown on an implant restores a lost tooth with full reproduction of its function. The material does not change its shade over the years, and thanks to its light transmission, it looks natural in the frontal zone. For the patient, this is a combination of durability and aesthetics that is no different from their own teeth.
Why do patients choose Astra Dent Warsaw to install a zirconium crown on an implant?

What is a zirconium crown on an implant?
Modern dentistry is increasingly using zirconium dioxide to restore teeth on implants. Unlike metal ceramics, it does not oxidize and does not change color, and due to its light permeability, it repeats the natural shade of the dentition.
The main characteristics of zirconium crowns on implants:
- Material. Made of zirconium dioxide, which is 3-4 times stronger than natural enamel and withstands chewing load without cracking.
- Medical compatibility. Zirconium does not cause allergic reactions and does not irritate the gums, so the tissues retain a healthy color after many years of use.
- Thickness. To make a crown, it is enough to remove a relatively small layer of material from the abutment, which ensures the strength of the structure.
- Manufacturing method. CAD/CAM milling from monolithic zirconium blocks is used and subsequent sintering in special furnaces, which gives the material final strength and color stability.
The zirconium crown is fixed on an artificial root – an implant that replaces a lost tooth. Due to the transparency of the material, the structure is appropriate in the frontal zone and is invisible among your own teeth.
Advantages of zirconium for patients
A zirconium dioxide crown is one of the most reliable orthopedic structures in modern dentistry. According to research, the survival rate of two-component zirconium implants ranges between 83% and 99% depending on the observation period. High indicators confirm the reliability and durability of the material in clinical practice. In addition to long-term stability, patients receive a number of practical advantages in daily use:
- High strength. The material withstands loads of more than 900 MPa, which is 3-4 times higher than that of natural enamel. It is resistant to cracks and chips when chewing any products.
- Aesthetics. Due to light transmission, it is easy to match the crown in color to neighboring teeth in both the chewing and frontal areas.
- Durability. The service life exceeds 10-15 years with regular hygiene and examinations.
- Biocompatibility. Zirconium is chemically inert and does not cause allergic reactions. The gums remain healthy, and the edge of the crown does not darken over time.
- Color stability. Zirconium does not absorb dyes, preserving its natural shade for many years.
- Smooth surface. After polishing, zirconium crowns have a shiny structure to which biofilm does not adhere well, which reduces the risk of inflammation and caries.
Astra Dent patients can count on restorations that last for decades without losing their strength and natural appearance. A stable result is achieved thanks to the combination of the experience of doctors and cooperation with leading dental laboratories.
Stages of installing a zirconium crown on an implant Astra Dent Warsaw
Restoring a tooth with a zirconium crown on an implant consists of several sequential stages. Each of them is performed under the control of digital technologies, which allows us to achieve the predicted result:
- Installation of the implant. The surgeon places a titanium implant in the jawbone using navigation templates and piezosurgery for maximum accuracy. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain, and the risk of tissue damage is minimized.
- The healing period. Within 3-6 months, osseointegration occurs – the implant fuses with the bone and becomes part of it. At this time, an abutment, a temporary crown, is installed, which supports aesthetics, bite and diction.
- Consultation and color selection. During the first visit, we conduct a clinical examination, analysis of X-rays or CT scans and a digital 3D scan of the jaw. The doctor selects the shade of zirconium according to the Vita scale and takes into account the individual features of the bite so that the future crown looks harmonious in the dentition.
- Fixation of the zirconium crown. After the implant is implanted, the doctor makes a permanent crown using CAD/CAM technology with an accuracy of a few microns. The finished structure is tried on, the contact in the bite is checked and fixed with biocompatible cement, which guarantees a fit without microcracks and gaps.
A clear sequence of actions guarantees a strong and reliable restoration with impeccable aesthetics. It does not differ from neighboring ones and retains its function for decades.
