Beautiful, Metal-Free Dental Crowns & Bridges for a Healthier Smile.
Metal-free dental crowns in Spokane, WA are ceramic tooth restorations made from zirconia or EMAX — 100% biocompatible materials that contain no metal alloys. Spokane Holistic Dental places these restorations to repair cracked, decayed, and damaged teeth while supporting your total body wellness.

Our Materials
Zirconia & EMAX — The Gold Standard in Metal-Free Dentistry
Two exceptional ceramic materials, each chosen for the right situation.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) is the strongest ceramic crown material available. It resists chipping and cracking under heavy bite forces — making it the first choice for molars, teeth damaged by bruxism (grinding), and patients who need maximum durability. Modern high-translucency zirconia also achieves a completely natural appearance.
Best for: Molars & High Bite Force
EMAX Crowns
EMAX (lithium disilicate ceramic) crowns are prized for their exceptional translucency and lifelike appearance — they mimic the natural light transmission of real tooth enamel better than any other material. Entirely metal-free and biocompatible, EMAX is the preferred choice for front teeth and cosmetic restorations where aesthetics are paramount.
Your Dental Health Is Connected to Your Total Body Wellness
Biological dentistry treats the mouth as part of your whole body — not in isolation. The materials we place in your teeth matter beyond just your smile.
Biocompatible Materials
Zirconia and EMAX are inert — they don't react with body tissue, corrode, or release ions. Your immune system recognizes them as safe, reducing systemic inflammation risk.
No Metal Toxicity Risk
Traditional metal alloys in crowns can leach trace metals over time. Fully ceramic restorations eliminate this concern — an important consideration for patients focused on overall health and wellness.
Supporting Whole-Body Health
Holistic dental care considers how your oral health affects your immune system, nervous system, and nutrition. Metal-free restorations are one component of a complete wellness approach.

Call our office right away. A broken or lost crown exposes the underlying tooth to bacteria and fracture risk. We offer emergency appointments for urgent dental needs — call (509) 703-4962 as soon as possible.
Zirconia crowns can last 20+ years with proper care. EMAX crowns typically last 15–20 years. Good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth are the primary factors in longevity.
