The process of getting a zirconia crown is similar to that of other types of crowns. During the first appointment, your dentist will prepare the damaged tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to accommodate the crown. Then, they will take an impression of your teeth to create a custom-fitted zirconia crown. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it until the permanent crown is ready. During the second appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent zirconia crown is placed and adjusted to ensure a proper fit. The entire process usually takes around 2-3 weeks.
