Zirconia Crown in Chișinău: Placement and Cost
A zirconia crown is a modern way to restore a tooth with a strong, metal-free restoration that looks natural. We fit zirconium dental crowns both in the smile zone and on chewing teeth, taking the expected load into account.
Because the crown contains no metal at its core, it gives good aesthetics and avoids a dark line at the gum.
Before treatment the doctor assesses the tooth, the bite and the load, and explains whether this crown suits you or whether another option is better.
When you need a zirconia crown
When another solution is better
This crown is not always the right choice.
The doctor may recommend another option if:
- the lowest cost is the priority
- the crown goes on a chewing tooth with no aesthetic requirements
- a simpler, more practical solution is enough
In such cases a porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown or another type of restoration may suit you better.

Zirconia crown price in Chișinău
The price of a zirconia crown depends on the type of restoration, the condition of the tooth and the preparation needed before prosthetic treatment. The doctor determines the exact cost after the examination and diagnosis. We calculate the price in advance in line with your treatment plan. Before placement, the doctor explains which procedures are necessary and what is included in the final cost.

Stages of placing a zirconia crown
The doctor examines the tooth, takes an X-ray and assesses whether a crown can be placed. You get a clear treatment plan, timing and the expected result straight away.
The tooth is shaped for the crown. If needed, we check the condition of the canals and gums, so that the foundation is stable.
Impressions are taken for the laboratory. While the crown is being made, a temporary crown is fitted to keep you comfortable and your smile looking good.
The finished crown is fixed on the tooth. The doctor checks the bite, comfort and aesthetics, so that the tooth looks and works as naturally as possible.
How long placement takes
Preparation and impressions take one visit.
Making the crown in the laboratory usually takes a few days.
The doctor gives the exact timing after the examination.
What happens if a damaged tooth is not restored
Even without pain the structure weakens and the tooth can break completely.
Especially if the tooth is in the front zone.
What a crown solves now may in time require extraction and an implant.
