Metal-free crowns
Metal-free crowns provide protection for your teeth.
They are the caps that help preserve the strength of your tooth. Additionally, it can alter the position, shape, and color of a natural tooth and restore a large number of missing or damaged teeth.
Made from zirconium dioxide, a material of exceptional strength and durability.
WHEN ARE DENTAL CROWNS (METAL-FREE CROWNS) RECOMMENDED?
Many of you might struggle with:
- Large fillings and teeth that crack even with soft foods because they can no longer withstand chewing pressure.
- Constant food getting stuck between teeth, leading to bad breath.
- Hiding your smile due to missing teeth?
- Dissatisfaction with the position, color, or shape of your teeth?
- Teeth grinding issues at night, or even during the day (bruxism)? As we dentists say, how many of you have "eaten" your own teeth?
All these issues can be solved with metal-free crowns.
Metal-free crowns are designed to protect your natural teeth. A metal-free crown is essentially an aesthetic and functional ‘cap’ that is placed over a natural tooth or on top of a post or dental implant, serving to preserve its strength and natural function.
Placing a dental crown can correct the shape and position of a tooth, and it is also used when multiple teeth need to be restored. The tooth color can also be adjusted to achieve a natural-looking smile.
The material used is zirconium dioxide, a high-tech ceramic that is exceptionally strong and durable. Its aesthetic advantage lies in its ability to naturally transmit light, thanks to its slight translucency that closely mimics the appearance of natural teeth.
All of this makes it possible to create teeth that are strong enough to withstand chewing pressure, anatomically shaped with precision, and visually perfectly matched to the rest of the dental arch.
WHY ARE METAL-FREE CROWNS (ZIRCONIUM CROWNS) SO SPECIAL?
- Thanks to the biocompatible material, there is no occurrence of gum inflammation, redness, irritation, or allergic reactions—either in the mouth or elsewhere in the body.
- Metal-free crowns blend in perfectly with the remaining teeth, even when only one or two are being placed.
- These crowns preserve your teeth and the surrounding tissues, as only a minimal portion is removed. This means that after the preparation, most of your natural tooth remains as a foundation — which is exactly our goal.
- Their translucency and shade allow the tooth color to appear completely natural, making them an excellent solution for anyone seeking high aesthetics along with maximum functionality.
WHAT IS A HOLLYWOOD SMILE?
One of the terms we frequently hear in our daily interactions with patients is ‘Hollywood smile,’ as most people are familiar with this expression originating from the United States. It refers to the bright white teeth often seen on Hollywood celebrities.
Here’s the truth.
A Hollywood Smile consists of metal-free crowns, veneers, or even implants with very bright shades, specifically “bleach shades.” It’s not a secret or something new, just a specific shade of the highest-quality materials we already use for metal-free crowns, veneers, and implant work.
Anyone can achieve a Hollywood Smile, from those needing minimal, non-invasive work to patients requiring full-mouth reconstruction.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR GETTING DENTAL CROWNS?
The first consultation is free of charge. A panoramic X-ray is required — a digital image of both jaws — which you should bring with you. During this visit, we get to know each other, conduct an analysis, and create a precise treatment plan.
Photography is also a very important and essential part of creating a treatment plan, as it makes it much easier for both us and you to notice certain things you may not be aware of — simply because you’ve grown used to them.
Just 4 visits in 7 days, and you’ll have your desired smile.
Tooth preparation and shaping, with placement of temporary crowns.
Fitting the base for the metal-free crowns.
Final fitting before cementation.
Placement and cementation of the permanent crowns.
Metal-free crowns are cemented onto the tooth, but they can also be cemented onto dental implants. Zirconia ceramic crowns are especially recommended for front teeth. Upon the patient’s request, metal-ceramic crowns can also be used, although they are more commonly placed on posterior teeth.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METAL-FREE AND METAL-CERAMIC CROWNS?
The benefits listed above are the fundamental differences between metal-free and metal-ceramic crowns. Another significant advantage of metal-free crowns is the absence of a dark line (metal underneath the ceramic), which is commonly seen in metal-ceramic crowns after a few years.
IS THERE A WARRANTY FOR METAL-FREE CROWNS (ZIRCONIUM CROWNS)?
Of course, all our work — including zirconia crowns — comes with a 5-year warranty, although the restorations typically last much longer, even over 20 years. The warranty is valid under the condition that proper oral hygiene is maintained and regular check-ups are attended every 6 months, as this is the responsibility of every patient who wants to preserve their dental work.

PRICE OF METAL-FREE CROWNS
The current price is €230 per crown until the end of this month (regular price: €250).
*Price includes tooth preparation, such as cavity removal and root canal treatment if necessary, as well as temporary crowns until the final work is completed.
Don’t continue to suffer through daily pain — a solution exists and is within reach. Every delay leads to complications that can become more difficult to treat, and sometimes even irreversible. At our clinic, we often see dear patients who postpone their visit and end up facing more serious and costly problems. Such delays frequently result in tooth loss, and in most cases, oral surgery becomes necessary to prepare the area for a crown.
P.S. Don’t forget — metal-free crowns not only protect your teeth but also offer a way to completely transform your smile. No more pain, bleeding gums, or dissatisfaction with the look and color of your teeth. There is now a long-term solution that preserves your teeth and enhances your confidence. This offer is valid until the end of the month, as the cost of materials for metal-free crowns often increases, and we cannot guarantee that we’ll be able to offer them under such favorable conditions in the future.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DENTAL CROWNS
Is the procedure painless?
YES. We use surface anesthesia (spray) before administering local anesthesia, ensuring total comfort during the procedure.
Do metal-free crowns change color over time?
NO. Crowns remain the same shade; coffee, wine, or cigarettes won’t affect their color because ceramics are color-stable.
How do you maintain metal-free crowns?
Just like with natural teeth — this includes brushing with toothpaste in the morning and evening, as well as using all recommended oral hygiene aids such as mouthwashes, interdental brushes, and more.
What is the lifespan of metal-free crowns?
Typically 10-15 years with regular dental check-ups every 6 months, often lasting even longer with proper care.
Maintain good oral hygiene
- Use a bottle opener (not your teeth!)
- Avoid nail-biting
Does cosmetic dentistry include the placement of metal-free crowns on teeth?
Yes, metal-free crowns are part of the field covered by cosmetic dentistry. They provide a natural appearance without the dark lines often seen with metal-ceramic crowns. However, their primary function remains the preservation of oral health and the protection of the tooth.
When is oral surgery necessary before placing metal-free crowns?
In certain cases, oral surgery is necessary — for example, when a tooth is severely damaged or completely missing. A surgical procedure may be required, such as tooth or root extraction, or preparation of the jawbone. After that, implants are often placed to serve as a stable foundation for a metal-free crown. During your consultation, we will assess together whether such procedures are needed in your specific case.
Does metal-free ceramic provide a natural tooth appearance?
Absolutely! Metal-free ceramics — especially zirconia — allow for the creation of crowns that closely replicate the natural translucency and color of real teeth, delivering an outstanding aesthetic result that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
Can metal-free crowns be combined with other dental treatments?
Yes, metal-free crowns are often combined with other treatments — such as orthodontic therapy or teeth whitening — to achieve optimal aesthetics and functionality. We will always recommend the best treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
What is the price of metal-free crowns and what does it include?
When it comes to metal-free crowns, the price may vary depending on the material used and any additional procedures that may be required. The cost usually includes the basic tooth preparation, temporary crowns worn until the final restoration is ready, fabrication, and placement of the crown — while consultations are free of charge. For an accurate cost estimate, it’s best to schedule a direct consultation with our team.
