Treatments
Metal-free crowns and bridges milled from zirconia — strong enough for back teeth, translucent enough for front teeth.
Zirconia is a ceramic with very high fracture resistance. Because there is no metal substructure, there is no grey line at the gum margin and no metallic shadow through the ceramic — the main aesthetic complaints about older metal-ceramic crowns.

Crowns are milled by CAD/CAM from a digital or conventional impression, which makes the fit highly repeatable. Different zirconia grades are used for different jobs: more translucent material at the front, higher-strength material at the back.
The tooth, gum and bite are assessed and the shade is chosen in daylight against the neighbouring teeth.
The tooth is prepared under local anaesthesia and a digital or conventional impression is taken. A temporary crown is fitted.
The crown is designed on the digital model and milled from a zirconia block, then layered or stained and glazed.
Fit, contact points, shade and bite are checked before final cementation.
Zirconia avoids the grey margin and the metal substructure, and is the default choice for the smile line. Metal-ceramic still has uses, but zirconia has largely replaced it.
Yes — high-strength zirconia grades are specifically used for back teeth and long-span bridges.
Recession is driven by gum health and hygiene, not by the material. A well-fitting margin and daily interdental cleaning are what keep the gum stable.
