General Information
Zirconium crown is the natural dental crown method that gives the most effective results in dental aesthetics and is successful in terms of durability and tissue compatibility. With zirconium crowns, tooth loss is eliminated while a healthy smile is achieved, and a result as natural as the person’s own teeth is achieved. In the zirconium crown, white colored infrastructure material is used instead of metal.
Scope of application
If the teeth have already been cut
In split teeth
To eliminate the dark line caused by metal-supported coatings in the mouth.
In tooth fractures
To correct the bad appearance caused by fillings whose color and structure are damaged.
When there is too much material loss in the teeth that the filling cannot benefit
Correcting crooked teeth
Zirconium advantages
With a zirconium crown, you will have the closest appearance to your natural teeth.
It is the ideal treatment option for those who are allergic to metal.
Compared to other applications, fewer parts of the teeth are reduced and tooth loss is prevented.
Since there is no extensive tooth cutting in the zirconium crown, tooth sensitivity to cold and hot foods does not occur.
Zirconium coating is more compatible with the gums compared to metal-supported coatings.
The gray discoloration caused by metal at the gingival margin is absent in the zirconium crown, and it is more aesthetically pleasing.
Since it is compatible with the gums, the possibility of gingival recession problems in the future is low.
Color change due to consumption of beverages such as tea and coffee is very unlikely to occur in zirconium crowns, and mostly does not occur at all.
How are zirconium crowns applied?
Since local anesthesia is applied to the area to be coated, the patient does not feel any pain or suffering. The teeth are cut in small amounts and their measurements are taken. The coatings are specially produced in a laboratory environment. Zirconium coatings prepared with special medical adhesive are placed.
Is pain felt during the procedure?
Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, the patient does not feel pain. Some patients may experience mild tingling.
Can it be applied to people with zirconium metal allergies?
Since there is no metal in the zirconium crown, those with metal allergies can also be treated easily.
How long can zirconium crowns be used?
If regular check-ups and dental care are taken care of, the patient can use it for many years.
