Zirconia Crowns In Abu Dhabi

When a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or simply tired after years of service, a crown is not a “cosmetic extra.” It’s a protective shell that lets that tooth keep doing its job allowing you to chew comfortably and look natural. In day-to-day practice at TRUE SMILE Dental Center on Al Reem Island, my go-to option for strength plus looks is a zirconia crown (sometimes called a zirconium crown or zircon crown). It’s metal-free, blends with your smile, and stands up well to everyday life.

What are zirconia crowns recommended for?

At our Abu Dhabi, UAE clinic, a zirconia crown is one of the most reliable ways to restore a damaged or weakened tooth. Made from zirconium dioxide — a durable and biocompatible ceramic — these crowns combine long-lasting strength with a natural, lifelike appearance. That makes them a trusted solution for both front and back teeth.

A dentist may suggest zirconia crowns in the following cases:

  • Severely Damaged or Decayed Teeth – Provides strong and long-lasting protection.
  • Cracked or Fractured Teeth – Reinforces weakened teeth to prevent further damage.
  • Tooth Wear Due to Grinding (Bruxism) – A highly durable solution for patients with excessive wear.
  • Post-Root Canal Treatment – Protects treated teeth from fractures.
  • Replacement of Old Crowns – Offers a metal-free alternative to traditional crowns.
  • Dental Implants – Used as a crown attachment for single-tooth implants.

What are the main advantages of zirconia crowns?

  • Exceptional Strength – Highly resistant to fractures and wear, ideal for molars and high-pressure areas.
  • Aesthetic and Natural Look – Can be colour-matched to surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.
  • Biocompatibility – Safe for patients with metal allergies and reduces gum irritation.
  • Minimal Tooth Reduction – Requires less removal of natural tooth structure compared to traditional crowns.
  • Stain-Resistant – Maintains a bright, natural look without discoloration.
  • Long-Lasting – With proper care, a zirconia crown can last 15 years or more.

How does the zirconia crown procedure work?

  1. Initial Consultation and Examination – The dentist assesses the tooth and checks if a zirconia crown is the right choice.
  2. Tooth Preparation – Enamel is carefully shaped, impressions or scans are taken.
  3. Crown Fabrication – A custom zirconia dental crown is produced in a lab (1–2 weeks) or milled same-day with CAD/CAM.
  4. Crown Placement and Bonding – Fit, colour, and bite are checked before bonding with strong adhesive.

What should you expect after getting zirconia crowns?

  • Immediate Functionality – Eat and speak normally straight away.
  • Minimal Sensitivity – Mild tenderness fades quickly.
  • Natural Appearance – Seamlessly blends with surrounding teeth.

How should zirconia crowns be cared for?

  • Brush and floss daily.
  • Avoid chewing on ice or very hard foods.
  • Use a mouthguard if you grind teeth or play sports.
  • Attend regular dental checkups.

How long do zirconia crowns last?

With proper oral hygiene and routine care, zirconia crowns in Abu Dhabi can last 15–20 years, sometimes even longer.

What is the zirconia crown price in Abu Dhabi?

The cost of a zirconia crown in Abu Dhabi depends on the tooth’s condition, its location, and whether CAD/CAM same-day milling is used. For transparent information, please see our treatment prices or contact our clinic directly.

When should you contact a dentist about your zirconia crown?

Seek advice if you notice:

  • Persistent pain or sensitivity.
  • A loose or shifting crown.
  • Chips, cracks, or visible wear.
  • Gum inflammation around the crown.

We answer frequently asked questions

Most patients can expect 10–15 years with normal brushing, flossing, and check-ups. In many cases, they last well beyond that. Clinical studies show excellent survival rates at 5 years, with strong results continuing at 10 years and more.

It depends on where the crown is going. Zirconia is extremely strong and often the best choice for back teeth and implants. Lithium disilicate (often known as E-max) looks slightly more translucent, so it can be ideal in the front smile zone if your bite is gentle.

Not if it’s finished properly. We polish every crown after adjustments, which makes zirconia kind to the opposing enamel. Rough or unpolished surfaces can cause wear, but a properly polished zirconia crown behaves very favourably.

You may see advertisements from AED 399–999, but these often don’t include quality lab work or finishing. Typical clinics charge around AED 1,200–3,000. At TRUE SMILE Dental Center, our published fee is AED 4,000 for a premium zirconia crown, crafted with full finishing and precision.

No. A crown is a fixed restoration for a single tooth. It doesn’t move your teeth like orthodontics and it doesn’t replace several teeth like a denture. Instead, it reinforces and restores the tooth you already have.

We take shade matching seriously. Using advanced zirconia systems and individual shade mapping, we customise your crown so it blends with the surrounding teeth. Most people won’t be able to tell which tooth has the crown.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain. You may notice some mild sensitivity afterwards, but it usually settles within a few days.

Usually two. The first visit is for preparing the tooth, taking a scan, and placing a temporary crown. The second visit is for fitting your final zirconia crown. In some cases, with in-house milling, same-day options may be available.

Yes. Once the crown is cemented, it functions like your natural tooth. You can chew normally, though it’s always wise to avoid opening bottles, chewing ice, or using your teeth as tools.

It’s uncommon, but if it happens we can usually repair or replace the crown. Zirconia is highly durable, especially compared with older porcelain crowns.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Ali Gibreel. He fixed all of my teeth exactly the way I wanted, and I’m extremely happy with the final result! He was very professional throughout the entire process, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable and confident from the beginning. I had been looking at many different clinics before deciding where to do my teeth, but I’m really glad I chose this place. I finally felt comfortable and in good hands here, and the result exceeded my expectations. A big thank you to Dr. Ali Gibreel for the great work. Highly recommended!

I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Mustafa Sarikahya. For his painstaking work, which he did in the treatment of my root canals. I came with strong pain over the sixth tooth, and the doctor entered my position, took into account the fact that I am a breastfeeding mother and did the treatment without antibiotics, it took more visits (and more work to him). In addition to his professional skills, I was pleasantly surprised by his human quality: English is not my native language, and I did not immediately understand what kind of treatment I have to do. And the doctor explained the same thing to me several times, until I understood exactly what was waiting for me. He took out the best treatment tactics. It's a great success that I got to Dr. Mustafa.

Профессионализм врачей, качество лечения и сервис- все действительно на очень высоком уровне. Теперь все пятеро ходим только сюда. Отдельное спасибо доктору Наталье - настоящему мастеру своего дела! И доктору Навару, который умеет найти подход к любому ребёнку и сделать так, чтобы поход к стоматологу больше не был чем-то страшным. Спасибо всей команде! ❤️ Когда даже лечение зубов может быть в удовольствие .. это точно о вашей клинике.
