Zirconia crowns in Varna
Medically reviewed by Dr. Iva Yordanova, specialist in prosthodontics ·
A zirconia crown is a fully metal-free restoration made of zirconium dioxide that covers the whole tooth; the material is among the strongest in dentistry and allows a natural colour with no grey line at the gum. Zirconia crowns combine the strength of metal with the looks of ceramic, with no dark line at the gum and no risk of allergy. Dr. Yordanova is a specialist in prosthetic dentistry and plans every crown precisely – for a result indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Why a zirconia crown?
The advantages over classic porcelain-fused-to-metal:
- Exceptional strength – suitable for back teeth too
- No metal core – no grey edge at the gum over time
- A biocompatible material with no allergic reactions
- Natural translucency and an individually matched shade
- A precise fit – made with CAD/CAM technology
When is a zirconia crown recommended?
For a badly damaged tooth after root canal treatment, for a fracture that cannot be built up with a filling, to replace an old porcelain-fused-to-metal crown with a grey edge, and as part of dental bridges. The crown protects the tooth from fracture and restores full chewing.
How is the crown placed?
We prepare the tooth conservatively, take a precise impression and fit a temporary crown – you are never left without a tooth. The zirconia crown is made individually in a dental laboratory in 7–10 days, after which we cement it permanently and adjust the bite until it is fully comfortable.

Full price listFrequently Asked Questions
How much does a zirconia crown cost in Varna?
A zirconia crown is €325. The price is set after an examination, according to the specific case and the number of crowns. You receive a transparent treatment plan with the exact cost before treatment begins.
How long does a zirconia crown last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups – 15 years and more. Zirconia does not wear and does not change colour.
Zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown?
Zirconia is superior in aesthetics, biocompatibility and durability. Porcelain-fused-to-metal is the more affordable option. Dr. Yordanova will present both options objectively.
Does fitting a crown hurt?
No – the preparation is done under local anaesthesia, and the cementation itself is completely painless.
