Zirconium crowns are known for their longevity, and can last up to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance.

The process of placing a zirconium crown involves preparing the damaged tooth by removing any decay or existing filling material. Then, the tooth is shaped to create a base for the crown to be placed on. An impression of the tooth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where the crown is custom-made to fit the tooth precisely. Finally, the crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

Zirconium crowns are generally considered to be stronger and more durable than traditional porcelain crowns. They are less likely to crack or chip, and they can withstand the daily wear and tear of biting and chewing.

The cost of a zirconium crown can vary depending on several factors, such as the location of the dental practice, the experience of the dentist, and the complexity of the procedure.
