What is this treatment?

A zirconia crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Made from strong, metal-free ceramic, it restores the tooth’s shape, function, and appearance while providing reliable long-term protection.

When you may need it

  • A tooth with a large filling or previous root canal
  • Cracked, fractured, or significantly worn teeth
  • Teeth with severe discoloration that cannot be corrected with whitening
  • Teeth weakened by extensive decay or loss of tooth structure

What is this treatment?

What happens during treatment

1. Prepare the tooth

The tooth is carefully reshaped to create the space needed for the crown.

2. Capture precise impressions

Digital or traditional impressions are taken to create a crown that fits accurately and complements your surrounding teeth.

3. Place a temporary crown

A temporary crown protects the prepared tooth while your permanent zirconia crown is being made.

4. Fit the final crown

The completed zirconia crown is checked for fit, appearance, and bite before being securely cemented into place.

Aftercare

  • Avoid sticky or very hard foods while wearing the temporary crown.
  • Brush and floss carefully around the gum line.
  • Let your dentist know if your bite feels uncomfortable or uneven after placement.

What happens during treatment

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom tooth pain is common, and there is no need to feel anxious about seeking treatment. Depending on the position and condition of the tooth, your dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon may recommend monitoring, medication, or extraction. If removal is necessary, timely treatment can help prevent complications and protect the surrounding teeth and gums.

At SmileOn Lahore, we provide professional wisdom teeth assessment and treatment to help you understand your condition and choose the most appropriate next step.

What Happens Next?

The first step is to schedule a consultation so that your wisdom tooth can be properly examined. Your dentist may recommend dental X-rays to assess the position of the tooth and determine whether it is impacted or affecting nearby structures.

During your appointment, let the dental team know that the painful tooth is a wisdom tooth and describe any symptoms you are experiencing, such as swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or persistent pain.

If the wisdom tooth is impacted or requires surgical extraction, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon may perform the procedure.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

They commonly perform complex or impacted wisdom tooth extractions.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Your dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon will explain the procedure, available options, expected recovery, and aftercare instructions before treatment.
