If you have recently undergone a root canal treatment, then it is highly likely that your dentist must have suggested that you need a crown to cover the tooth. Now there are basic two types of crowns-metal ceramic or PFM and Metal free also called as Zirconia crowns.

Many of our patients have questions regarding the benefits of getting a zirconia crown and they also want to know the cost of zirconia crowns in Jaipur.

I have tried to answer few of the most commonly asked questions:

Q1. What are zirconia crowns?

Ans. Zirconia crowns are metal free crowns i.e. they do not have any metal in them. They are made of pure porcelain, hence they are very healthy and can be placed in the mouth without any side effects or allergy that can happen with metal ceramic crowns.

Q2. Are they stronger than other dental crowns?

Ans. Yes, zirconia crowns are stronger. Zirconia crowns in Jaipur are made from a single block of ceramic disk which is then carved in the form of a dental crown. You can understand this by means of an example where a statue is made out of a marble block. It’s one piece without any joints. That is why zirconia crowns are virtually unbreakable.

Q3. Are they better in looks?

Ans. Yes, zirconia crowns look exactly like a natural tooth. They are brighter, shinier and since they are carved out of a single slab of ceramic they look far superior than any other dental crown.

Q4. What is the cost of zirconia caps in Jaipur?

Ans. Cost of any dental procedure can vary from clinic to clinic, depending on the experience, expertise, location of the clinic, what type of equipment do they have. So though it is very difficult to give an exact figure. However, a range can always be given and the cost of a zirconia cap in Jaipur ranges between Rs. 7000 to Rs. 15000

Q5. My dentist says that the zirconia crowns come with a warranty of 5,10 or 15 years. Is this true?

Ans. A cap is placed on a tooth that is constantly under the load of chewing pressure. Most of the crown/cap manufacturers give warranty on any manufacturing defect and not on breakage and chipping that happens when someone is eating the food. So who will decide what is the warranty applicable on?

I believe zirconia has the advantage of being virtually unbreakable and lasts for years together. But I never believe in the warranty gimmick as it is just marketing and nothing else. There are far many advantages of zirconia and one should chose zirconia crowns in Jaipur for that only and not because there is a warranty on it.
