About the treatment
Zirconia crowns are made from a solid block of tooth-coloured ceramic, milled to exact fit by a CAD/CAM machine. They combine the strength you need for back-tooth chewing with the aesthetics you want on visible teeth — and have no metal, so no dark gum line ever appears.
At Dr. Poond's Nashik Road clinic, we digitally scan your teeth (no goopy impression trays), design the crown on-screen, and mill it from a premium zirconia block for a precise, long-lasting fit.
Benefits
No dark line at the gum, no metal sensitivity, biocompatible.
Flexural strength surpasses PFM — safe for molar chewing.
Layered or monolithic finishes match natural translucency.
Resists coffee, tea, wine staining better than natural teeth.
Precise sub-100-micron fit reduces margin gaps and future decay risk.
Modern zirconia has excellent long-term clinical evidence.
