Kada se implantati uspješno ugrade i integrišu sa kosti, dolazimo do završne – i za pacijente najvažnije faze: izrade krunice za zube. Upravo ovaj korak određuje kako će vaš osmijeh izgledati, ali i kako će funkcionisati u svakodnevnom životu.
U nastavku vam objašnjavamo razliku između opcija, sa posebnim fokusom na cirkon navlake i metalokeramičke krunice, kako biste znali šta možete očekivati.
What are dental crowns on implants?
Dental crowns are a definitive prosthetic work that is placed on an implant and completely imitates a natural tooth - both in appearance and function.
They enable:
- unhindered chewing
- natural speech
- aesthetic harmony of the smile
In other words, the crown is what you see – and what makes the difference in the appearance of the artificial teeth.
Zirconium crowns – the modern standard of aesthetics
Zirconium crowns represent the most modern solution in cosmetic dentistry.
Their advantages:
- superior aesthetics and natural appearance
- translucency (light transmission like a natural tooth)
- no metal base
- exceptional strength and durability
- excellent biocompatibility
Because of all of the above, zirconia gives the most natural look to artificial teeth, especially in the anterior region.
In All on 4 and All on 6 procedures, a Ti bar is made on the implants, onto which the zirconia construction is placed.
Metal-ceramic crowns – a proven solution
Metal-ceramic crowns have been a long-standing standard in dentistry.
They consist of:
- metal bases
- eine Keramikschicht, die ein ästhetisches Erscheinungsbild verleiht
Their advantages:
- high strength
- reliability over the years
- a slightly more affordable price
Possible disadvantages:
- less natural compared to zircon
- possibility of a dark border appearing along the gum over time

Zirconia or metal ceramics – what to choose?
The choice depends on several factors:
Zirconium crowns are a better choice when:
- you prioritize aesthetics
- do the front teeth
- you want the most natural look
Metal-ceramic crowns are a good choice when:
- you are looking for a functional and reliable solution
- work on the back side teeth
- you have a limited budget
In practice, more and more patients are opting for zirconia because of its superior aesthetics.
The appearance of artificial teeth – how natural can they be?
One of the most common questions is:
Will it be noticeable that the teeth are artificial?
The answer is – no, if the work is done with quality.
The natural appearance is affected by:
- shape and size of teeth
- color and translucency
- condition of the gums
- manufacturing precision
With modern materials and a professional team, dental crowns can look completely natural.
What does the process of making rosaries look like?
The process includes several steps:
- taking an analog or digital impression
- shape and color analysis
- making crowns in a dental laboratory
- trial phase
- final placement (cementing or screwing)
Everything is conditioned and adapted to the capabilities and wishes of each patient.

How long do crowns on implants last?
Durability depends on:
- material quality
- oral hygiene
- regular check-ups
With proper maintenance, crowns can last for many years.
