What Is a Zirconia Crown?
Zirconia crowns typically fall into two categories:
Monolithic (full‑contour) zirconia: Milled entirely from a single block of zirconia. These crowns are extremely durable and ideal for molars or patients who clench or grind.
Layered (multilayer) zirconia: A zirconia core with a porcelain veneer layered on top. This design offers more translucency for visible teeth while maintaining strength.
A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged or treated tooth to restore its shape and function. Zirconia crowns are made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂), a crystalline oxide that offers excellent fracture resistance and is safe for patients with metal allergies. They are milled from a solid block of ceramic and fired at high temperatures to achieve high flexural strength (often above 1,200 MPa). Compared with porcelain‑fused‑to‑metal (PFM) or traditional porcelain crowns, zirconia crowns are stronger and more wear‑resistant while still maintaining a natural appearance. High‑quality zirconia crowns start at ₹9,000 per unit and are fabricated in specialised CAD‑CAM labs

Factors affecting cost
Many variables influence the final cost of a zirconia crown:
-
Crown type and material quality: Standard zirconia crowns are more affordable, while multilayered or imported brands (3M Lava, BruxZir, E.max, Cercon) can cost 20–30 % more.
-
Tooth position and complexity: Front teeth that require aesthetic layering and precise shade matching are priced higher. Molars and implant‑supported crowns may require additional laboratory steps.
-
Clinic location and dentist’s expertise: Clinics in premium neighbourhoods or prosthodontists with specialised training often charge higher professional fees.
-
Additional procedures: Root canal therapy, bone grafts, gum surgery or implant placement increase the overall treatment cost.
-
Warranty and aftercare: Extended warranties (5–7 years) and free consultation packages contribute to higher prices.
Dr. Vyshnavi’s Recommendation
“For front teeth, I prefer multilayer high-translucency zirconia for a natural gradient that blends with adjacent teeth. For heavy chewers or bruxers, monolithic zirconia gives superior chip resistance. When restoring implants, I recommend a zirconia crown on a Ti-base for reliability and maintenance.”
— Dr. Vyshnavi, MDS Prosthodontist & Implantologist, V R Dental Kukatpally

- Metal-free construction eliminates allergic reactions
- Superior strength withstands heavy chewing forces (1200+ MPa)

How Long Does a Zirconia Crown Last? (Durability & Care Tips)
If you’re considering a zirconia dental crown, you likely want to know: How long will it last?
Zirconia crowns are among the most durable options in modern dentistry, with an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years—but with proper care, they can last 20 years or more.
Zirconia vs. Other Crown Materials: Which Lasts Longer?
Material | Avg. Lifespan | Pros | Cons |
Zirconia | 10–20+ years | Strong, natural-looking, biocompatible | Slightly less translucent than porcelain |
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) | 10–15 years | Good strength, moderate aesthetics | Metal may show at gumline, can chip |
All-Porcelain (E-max) | 8–15 years | Best aesthetics | Less durable than zirconia |
Gold | 15–30 years | Extremely durable | Metallic appearance |
Why Choose V R Dental Clinic, Kukatpally?
Because a prosthodontist’s training is centred on the design, fabrication and placement of crowns, bridges and implants, having the crowns department run by a prosthodontist and the clinic itself led by an MDS‑qualified prosthodontist such as Dr Vyshnavi gives patients a clear advantage. Prosthodontists assess bite dynamics, tooth structure and aesthetics in detail, so they can determine when a zirconia crown is appropriate, which type of zirconia to use (monolithic versus layered), and how to customise shade and fit. With more than eight years of specialist experience and a track record of hundreds of successful cases Dr Vyshnavi and her team are well‑placed to advise patients on whether zirconia crowns are the best option and to ensure predictable, long‑lasting results.
