Zirconia-ceramic crowns for €160 and monolithic zirconia crowns for €200, made in our own laboratory at Trio Dental Center, Tirana, with a 5-year written warranty.
A crown covers a tooth that is broken, heavily filled or root-treated, or sits on an implant. At Trio Dental Center in Tirana we make three kinds in our own laboratory: zirconia-ceramic (€160), monolithic zirconia (€200) and metal-ceramic (€120), each with a written 5-year warranty. E-max crowns are made for front teeth when translucency matters most; their price is in your quote. Below: which crown for which tooth, what each costs and whether zirconia can break.
| Treatment | Price at Trio Dental Center |
|---|---|
| Zirconia-ceramic crown (zirconia core, ceramic layer) | €160 |
| Monolithic zirconia crown (one solid block) | €200 |
| Metal-ceramic crown, for comparison | €120 |
| Temporary crown | €30 |
| Crown on an implant: implant + abutment + zirconia crown | €600 complete tooth |
E-max (lithium disilicate) crowns are described below; their price is given in your quote.
| Tooth | Our usual choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Front teeth, visible when you smile | Zirconia-ceramic or E-max | Most natural translucency; no metal edge at the gum |
| Molars, heavy bite, people who grind | Monolithic zirconia | No porcelain layer that can chip |
| Back teeth on a budget | Metal-ceramic | Strong and economical; a grey line can show if the gum recedes |
Every crown comes with a written 5-year warranty and an itemised invoice. Patients from abroad usually do crowns in one stay; your plan gives the days. See metal-ceramic crowns and veneers.
Your treatment is planned by a named dentist: implants by implantologist Dr. Elian Dylgjeri (over 2,000 implants since 2013); crowns, bridges and root canals by our prosthodontists and endodontist. Crowns and bridges are made in our own dental laboratory in Tirana.

Zirconia is zirconium dioxide, a white ceramic and the strongest material used for crowns. It is opaque, so it hides a dark tooth or a metal post, and it does not wear or crack easily. A monolithic zirconia crown is milled from one solid block with no porcelain layer that can chip: our choice for molars and for people who grind. A zirconia-ceramic crown has a zirconia core with ceramic layered on top for a more natural surface.
E-max is lithium disilicate, a glass-ceramic that lets light through like enamel. It is strong enough for front teeth and premolars and gives the most natural look where the smile shows, which is why it is also used for veneers. It is less suited to molars under heavy force, and it cannot hide a very dark tooth as well as zirconia.
Both materials are metal-free and biocompatible, both can replace old metal-ceramic crowns that show a grey line at the gum, and both are made in our laboratory from a digital scan. The choice is about the tooth: E-max or zirconia-ceramic in front for translucency, monolithic zirconia at the back for strength. If you grind your teeth, we recommend zirconia and a night guard.
E-max (lithium disilicate) lets more light through, so it looks most like enamel on front teeth. Zirconia is stronger and more opaque: it hides a dark tooth or a metal post and suits back teeth and people who grind. Monolithic zirconia has no porcelain layer to chip; zirconia-ceramic has a ceramic layer on top for a more natural surface.
It depends on the tooth. For front teeth, zirconia-ceramic or E-max for the most natural look; for molars and for people who grind, monolithic zirconia (€200), which cannot chip; for back teeth on a budget, metal-ceramic (€120). The table above shows our usual choice and why, and your quote states the material for each tooth.
Yes. On an implant the complete tooth — implant, abutment and crown — costs €600 with a zirconia crown or €520 with a metal-ceramic crown. The implant carries a written 10-year warranty and the crown 5 years.
After placing the zirconium crowns, you will need:
At Trio Dental Center in Tirana a zirconia-ceramic crown costs €160 and a monolithic zirconia crown €200; a metal-ceramic crown costs €120. On an implant, the complete tooth with a zirconia crown costs €600. Your quote lists every tooth before you travel.
Zirconia is one of the strongest crown materials, and a monolithic zirconia crown has no porcelain layer that can chip. A layered zirconia-ceramic crown can chip on the surface under heavy force, which is why we choose monolithic zirconia for molars and for people who grind. Crowns carry a written 5-year warranty.
Zirconia has no metal, so no grey line appears at the gum if it recedes, and it is stronger; it costs €160–200. Metal-ceramic costs €120 and is still a solid choice for back teeth that do not show. For front teeth we recommend zirconia or E-max.
Typically 10 to 15 years, often longer, with good cleaning and a check-up once a year. At Trio Dental Center crowns carry a written 5-year warranty against material defects and technical problems.
