Dental crowns — restore broken teeth for New Zealand patients
Porcelain and zirconia crowns at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam — NZD pricing, single-trip options, and brand-quality ceramics for Kiwis.
Crowns are the workhorse of restorative dentistry — less glamorous than veneers but essential when teeth are cracked, root-treated, or heavily filled.
Materials
| Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Zirconia | Strength on molars |
| E.max / layered porcelain | Aesthetics on premolars and front teeth |
| Metal-ceramic | Legacy cases — discuss if offered |
Shade matched to your smile plan — important when combined with veneers on front teeth.
NZ cost reality
Wellington and Auckland patients see NZD 1,800–2,500 for premium crowns. Replacing six molars can approach NZD 12,000 locally before you consider tourism.
Combine crowns with other work to justify flights — see /veneers/cost-nz-vs-vietnam/ break-even logic.
