Tooth coatings are basically divided into two groups as metal-containing and non-metallic. Zirconium dental veneer is a porcelain tooth veneer method with a zirconium dioxide infrastructure. They do not contain metal. Zirconium is combined with oxygen in special furnaces and converted into zirconia ceramics and used as dental coating material. In terms of its advantages, it is a very preferred method in recent years. It is generally preferred by people who have tooth decay or who want to have a more aesthetic white smile. It is widely used in anterior teeth due to its aesthetic effectiveness. It can be applied to the tooth surface or missing tooth areas. Gum fit is good. It is necessary to take care of the zirconium-coated teeth as much as our natural teeth.
It is a method used by dentists. First of all, the problem in the tooth is detected. Before starting the treatment, local anesthesia is applied to the relevant area of the patient so that there is no sensitivity. The teeth are reduced to the appropriate size. Impressions are taken with soft materials or digital methods on the reduced teeth. With the help of the color scale, the color of the teeth is selected according to the patient’s request. Until the zirconium crowns are prepared, temporary teeth are placed in order to prevent sensitivity and not to spoil the aesthetic appearance. In average, zirconium teeth are prepared in 3-5 days. After the prepared teeth are approved by the patient, the temporary teeth are removed and zirconium crowns are attached. Special transparent adhesives are used to bond the tooth. Nothing should be eaten for half an hour after sticking. Regular controls are carried out on the dates determined by the physician.
Since they are subjected to special firing processes, their structures are quite robust.
It is resistant to breakage, cracking and abrasion.
It has high resistance to corrosion.
It has a light-permeable structure like natural tooth enamel.
It does not contain metal structures.
It contributes to gum health by adapting to the gums.
It has a natural white appearance thanks to its light transmitting feature.
It can be used safely for many years.
Since it has low heat permeability, it does not create sensitivity to hot and cold.
