Zirconia Crowns

What is Zirconium coating?

Zirconium coating is an aesthetic and durable dental covering material. It is made from white-colored zirconium dioxide ceramic and is compatible with the natural tooth color. It is especially preferred to correct cosmetic issues in the front teeth. It addresses discoloration, stains, cracks, or imperfections, and is used in areas with broken or large fillings. Since it does not contain metal, the risk of allergies is low, and it has good compatibility with gum tissue. It provides an aesthetic appearance similar to natural teeth and is resilient. It is prepared in the laboratory under the guidance of your dentist and is bonded to the tooth, offering a beautiful smile while boosting your confidence.

Zirconium coating provides a similar opacity and light transmission as natural teeth, resulting in a natural and aesthetic appearance. Additionally, due to the absence of metal in zirconium coatings, the risk of allergies is low, and their compatibility with gum tissue is better.

Zirconium coating treatment is carefully planned and applied by the dentist. Firstly, your dentist works with you to examine your teeth and determine the appropriate color tone. Then, zirconium coatings, specially prepared in the laboratory to fit the shape and size of your teeth, are bonded to your teeth.

Due to their durability and long lifespan, zirconium coatings are frequently preferred in dental aesthetics. Furthermore, thanks to their appearance similar to natural teeth, they play a significant role in enhancing patients’ smiles and increasing their self-confidence.

Why is Zirconium treatment performed?

Zirconium coating treatment is performed to improve dental aesthetics and address various dental issues. Below is a detailed explanation of why zirconium coating treatment is performed:

Aesthetic Enhancement: Zirconium coating is used to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth. Aesthetic issues such as staining, discoloration, cracks, and misalignment, particularly in the front teeth, can be corrected with zirconium coatings. This way, patients achieve a more beautiful, natural, and attractive smile.

Repairing Cracks and Chips in Teeth: Cracks or chips in teeth can affect chewing function and create an aesthetically unpleasant appearance. Zirconium coatings provide an aesthetic and functional solution by reshaping fractured or chipped teeth.

Filling Large Cavities: When a large filling is required in a tooth, zirconium coating can be used to overcome this problem. Zirconium coatings provide a durable and long-lasting covering for the tooth, preserving its natural structure.

Aligning Teeth: Curved teeth or gaps between teeth can be aesthetically bothersome. Zirconium coating treatment is an effective method to align and correct teeth as desired.

Eliminating Tooth Discolorations: Tooth discolorations can occur due to factors such as aging, smoking, or the consumption of beverages containing caffeine. Zirconium coatings eliminate tooth discolorations while blending with the natural tooth color, resulting in a whiter and brighter smile.

Zirconium coating treatment is an effective option for patients seeking both aesthetic and functional outcomes. However, it is essential to consult with your dentist to determine the most suitable solution for you.

What are the types of Zirconium?

Zirconium can be used in various forms for different purposes in dentistry. Below is information about the different types of zirconium used in dentistry and their applications:

Zirconium Coating (Porcelain Zirconium): This is the most common type of zirconium used to improve dental aesthetics. It provides an aesthetic appearance similar to natural teeth and can be designed to match the patient’s tooth color with various color options. It is particularly preferred for correcting aesthetic issues in the front teeth.

Zirconium Implants: Zirconium implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the position of a lost tooth. They are used as an alternative to traditional titanium implants. Zirconium implants have a low risk of allergic reactions since they do not contain metal, and they are more compatible with gum tissue.

Zirconium Bridges: Zirconium bridges are used to fill gaps between teeth or replace teeth removed for various reasons. They provide a natural appearance and offer a durable solution.

Zirconium Layered Crowns: Zirconium layered crowns are used to cover the damaged inner part of a tooth. The root of the tooth is treated, and a zirconium-based layer is applied on top. This way, a durable restoration is achieved while preserving the original structure of the tooth.

Full Ceramic Zirconium Restorations: These are full ceramic restorations formed by combining zirconium with ceramic fillings or porcelains. This type of restoration provides the most suitable solution for the natural structure of teeth and is long-lasting.
