How are Zirconium Crowns conducted?

There are two main ways to do it when putting on a zirconium dental crown. During the first visit, your dentist can prepare your tooth and put on a temporary crown. The permanent zirconium crown will be cemented on the second visit.

Or, if your dentist has the latest technology and tools, they can have a zirconium crown made in the clinic on the same day.

The tooth surface is cleaned properly and all the debris is removed.
Grinding of the tooth is done to make space for the crown.
If a zirconia crown is given to replace the missing tooth then abutment teeth are also prepared. Abutment teeth are those which provide support and help in replacing the missing tooth.
After tooth preparation, an impression will be taken.
Wax-up will be made on the model in place of the future crown.
Molten metal is then filled in this wax-up and the wax is burned by placing it in the furnace
Polishing is done to remove impurities and to ensure proper fit.

What are the possible complications of the Zirconium Crowns?

Zirconium alone does not resemble real teeth. It needs to be combined with other substances to appear more natural.
Recent research has also highlighted issues with debonding in Zirconium crowns.
Zirconia crowns may lead to attrition/grinding of opposing natural teeth.
