Zirconia crowns or ceramic crowns: which is better?


Zirconia crowns: prices and features

Zirconia crowns are one of the best options for tooth restoration. They are characterized by high strength, aesthetic appearance and durability. Due to the biocompatibility of zirconia, these crowns are suitable even for people with metal allergies.  


Features of zirconia crowns  
1. Aesthetics – the material closely mimics natural teeth, without creating an "artificial" look.  
2. Strength – zirconia can withstand heavy chewing forces, making it ideal for both front and back teeth.  
3. Hypoallergenic – suitable for people sensitive to metals.  
4. Durability – with proper care, the lifespan can reach 15–20 years.  
5. No dark line – unlike metal-ceramic crowns, zirconia crowns do not leave grey lines along the gums.  

Prices for zirconia crowns  
The cost depends on the clinic, the technologies used, and the complexity of the process. The average price for a single crown ranges from $250 to $600 and in Armenia it is significantly lower (from 70000 to 150000 drams) compared to Europe or the USA, but the quality remains high. If you are interested in the zirconia crown prices, please contact our clinic for a consultation.  

How much does a zirconia implant cost?

If implantation is required, the price will be higher. The "implant + zirconia crown" package can cost between $1000 and $3000 (in Armenia – from 250000 to 400000 drams) depending on the implant brand and clinic.

Ceramic crowns: prices and features
Ceramic crowns are one of the most popular methods for tooth restoration. They offer high aesthetics, strength and are completely safe for theorganism. If you want not only to restore chewing function but also maintain the natural appearance of your smile, ceramic crowns are the ideal solution.

What are ceramic crowns?  
A ceramic crown is a thin,strong cap that is placed over a damaged tooth. Unlike metal-ceramic crowns, it does not contain metal components, making it fully hypoallergenic and aesthetic.

Advantages of ceramic crowns  

1. Maximum natural appearance–ceramic has translucency similar to natural enamel, making the teeth look lifelike.  

2. Safety for the organism–it does not cause allergies, irritation or inflammation of the gums. 

3. Durability–with proper care, it lasts from 10 to 15 years.  

4. No darkening–it does not darken over time and does not leave a grey line at the gums. 

5. Comfort while wearing–ceramic does not transfer temperature fluctuations, so hot and cold food does not cause discomfort.

Types of ceramic crowns  

Full ceramic–ideal for front teeth, as they provide the highest level of aesthetics.  

Zirconia with a ceramic coating–suitable for molars, as they are stronger.

Prices for ceramic crowns  
The cost depends on the clinic, type of ceramic and complexity of the work.

Price of ceramic crowns in different countries  
Armenia – from 90000 to 150000 dram ($230–$400).  
Russia – from 34000 to 65000 rubles ($400–$750).  
Europe and the USA – from $700 to $1500.

Why is it beneficial to get ceramic crowns in Armenia?  

European-level quality – prices are 2–3 times lower.  

Modern technology – CAD/CAM systems are used.  

High level of dentistry – Armenian specialists are trained in Europe and work according to international standards.  

Medical tourism – you can combine treatment with a vacation in Armenia.

Conclusion: if aesthetics are important, choose ceramic, if strength and durability are a priority, choose zirconia. For front teeth, ceramic is better, for molars – zirconia. If you need a balance between price and quality, you can consider zirconia with a ceramic coating.
