Zirconia crowns
Zirconia is a dental ceramic. It can form the entire crown or a framework covered with ceramic. Different compositions and levels of translucency are available, so the choice involves more than the material’s name.
RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY · HORIZON CENTER
Dental crowns.
Zirconia or metal-ceramic · A restoration suited to your tooth.
A crown covers a prepared tooth to rebuild its shape. At Horizon Center in Casablanca, Dr Houda Agunaou assesses the tooth and discusses the proposed material with you: zirconia or metal-ceramic. Your assessment clarifies the plan, the intended appearance and any care needed before fitting.

YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
A full assessment,
clearly explained steps.
Optical scanning allows digital impressions to be taken at the practice.
Examining the tooth and agreeing on a plan
The consultation is an opportunity to examine the tooth, discuss symptoms and consider alternatives. Ask why a crown is being considered and what care may be needed beforehand. The estimate should help you understand the different stages.
Preparing the tooth and taking an impression
The tooth is reshaped and an impression is taken so the laboratory can make the crown. The practice has an optical scanner. A temporary crown may protect the tooth during fabrication; care instructions and timing are explained at your appointment.
Trying in the crown and arranging follow-up
Before attachment, your dentist checks the fit, contacts and appearance. This is the time to ask questions about shape or shade. Follow-up provides an opportunity to check the restoration and discuss your everyday comfort.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Preparing your decision,
asking your questions.
What is the difference between a crown and an implant?
A crown is the prosthetic part that rebuilds the visible shape of a tooth. On a natural tooth, it covers the prepared tooth. An implant is a support placed in bone to replace a missing root; a crown can then be attached to it. These are different treatment plans with different stages.
Is zirconia always the best option?
No single material is ideal in every situation. Properties vary with the composition and design of the crown. During assessment, ask why a particular option is recommended, what alternatives exist and what trade-offs apply to your tooth.
Will I need several appointments?
Preparation and fitting usually take place at separate visits. Timing depends on your circumstances and fabrication. Ask whether temporary protection is planned and what to do if it comes off before the next appointment.
How is the crown colour chosen?
Discuss the appearance you would like before fabrication, then give your feedback at the try-in. Ask how the shade will be chosen in relation to neighbouring teeth and mention any planned aesthetic treatment for your other teeth.
What should I watch for after fitting?
A crown does not remove the need to clean your teeth and the spaces between them. Ask about appropriate techniques and check-up intervals. Contact the practice for a review if you notice persistent pain, movement or discomfort when closing your mouth.
How much does a crown cost in Casablanca?
The estimate depends on the material, tooth and associated care. Ask what is included: preparation, any temporary crown, fabrication and fitting. For an assessment with Dr Houda Agunaou at Horizon Center, City Office CFC, office A6, call 06 64 52 32 41 or contact the practice on WhatsApp.
