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.
Final placement and cementation of the veneers.
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.

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.
