Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium crown is one of the dental veneering methods that provide an aesthetic smile. Crowns manifest themselves with their durability and compatibility with oral tissues. Moreover, they create a natural effect with the results.

Advantages of Zirconium Veneers

Thanks to the technological developments in dentistry, dental veneers offer much more successful results. The veneer treatment restores the functionality of the problematic tooth and presents a natural look. These are very important within the concept of smile design. The prominent advantages of veneers made with zirconium are:

• •  The absence of the metal material used in traditional veneers in zirconium crowns is one of the distinguishing features.
• •  Using material that imitates real tooth color instead of metal provides an overall natural appearance.
• •  The tooth reduction level is less than many other veneer methods. Thus, there is less damage to natural teeth.
• •  Zirconium is compatible with gingiva. This provides a more comfortable use. The gingival recession also does not occur.
• •  There is no or maybe a little sensitivity that occurs to hot and cold foods after the application. The reason for this is that the natural tooth tips are minimally interfered with.
• •  It offers a good solution for those who have allergies to metal.
• •  Coloring does not occur in zirconium crowns under normal circumstances. Even if you consume tea and coffee, there is little, or no coloration observed.

Zirconium Crown Procedure

“What is zirconium crown” or “how is zirconium veneer applied” are frequently asked questions. The first step of this innovative dental veneer method is the examination. People tell their expectations and complaints to the dentist. The dentist examines the patient and requests relevant tests. He informs the patient about the process and its results. The veneer color is decided. During the zirconium grinding stage, minor stripping is done first and then the patient's intraoral measurement is obtained. A crown model that fits this measure is produced in the laboratory. These temporary veneers are placed on the tooth. Below are some of the benefits of temporary dental veneers.

• •  It is observed how the veneers look and feel to the mouth.
• •  It is checked whether there is a problem in mouth opening and closing actions,
• •  The compatibility of veneers with other teeth gets tested.

If there is no problem in terms of functionality and aesthetics, the permanent crown bonding stage is started. The procedure is performed under anesthesia. Veneers are cemented to the tooth. The success of the clinic and the dentist are extremely important. Permanent zirconium coating process takes about one week.
