 Zirconium is known as a white alloy used when covering teeth. Teeth that are cleaned of caries and filled with root canal treatment are covered with zirconium. Zirconium teeth are among the highest quality treatment methods in dental aesthetics to date.

How Are Teeth Covered With Zirconium?

•     First of all, before starting the dental treatment, the area to be covered is anesthetized with local anesthesia.
•     Afterwards, the tooth is cleaned from unwanted things such as caries, stains, stones, etc.
•     The tooth to be veneered is reduced from the outside within a certain size.
•     Precise measurements are taken for the zirconium coating.
•     The color of the zirconium is determined as a sample of the healthy teeth of the person.
•     A temporary coating is applied for trial purposes until the real zirconium is prepared.
•     Zirconium veneer is produced in the laboratory according to a special mouth size by using CAD / CAM technology. This production process is completed in an average of 7 days.
•     When real zirconium is ready, it is first bonded temporarily. Thus, precautions are taken against any inconsistency.
•     If no problems are encountered in temporary use, then zirconium is permanently adhered to the area with special dental adhesive.
•     Zirconium veneers should be checked at least once every 6 months.
•     These teeth do not have a certain period of use. If the person shows the necessary importance to his teeth, these veneers can be used for a lifetime.

In Which Situations Can Zirconium Coating Be Used?

    People of all ages, whose permanent teeth have erupted, can benefit from zirconium treatment. However, since the jaw structure of people between the ages of 18 and 20 is susceptible to change, it may be more correct to wait in this range. Zirconium dental treatment can be applied for different reasons. A few of these reasons are:

•     Excessive yellowing and staining of teeth
•     The split image that occurs due to too much space between the two teeth,
•     tooth fractures,
•     Deterioration of the structure and color of the fillings made in the past,
•     Crossed or crooked teeth,
•     Decay of teeth that cannot be filled.

                                          ​ ​

Why Should Zirconium Coating Be Preferred?

•     Zirconium coating is one of the treatment methods with the closest appearance to reality. Since the teeth covered with zirconium look very natural, they cannot be distinguished from the real ones. That's why people who are worried about an ugly or artificial appearance will be really happy with this treatment.
•     Zirconium application can be used for many years. After the treatment, the probability of experiencing similar situations such as slipping and dislocation is very low.
•     Since there is no metal in zirconium, it can be easily preferred by people with allergic conditions.
•     Since the alloy used in this type of coating is very durable and strong, the tooth is protected against all external impacts.
•     The treatment process is fast and effortless.
•     Zirconium does not cause gum problems or any discoloration.
•     It does not affect the person's sense of taste.
•     Zirconium crowns are brushed like normal teeth.

What is the Difference of Zirconium from Other Coating Types?

•     The material used in zirconium treatment has an insulating property. This eliminates the formation of hot and cold sensitivities.
•     Since zirconium has light transmittance, it looks just like a real tooth.
•     It is much more durable and robust compared to porcelain and similar coating methods.
•     Since it does not contain metal, it does not cause any color change on the teeth.
•     It prevents the yellowing of teeth caused by the use of coffee, tea and cigarettes.
•     It does not cause undesirable mouth odours.
•     It is produced from a material compatible with zirconium gingiva. For this reason, even people with gum problems can benefit from this treatment.
•     It wears much less than zirconium metal-containing coatings.
•     It is more difficult to veneer on grinding teeth such as molars. These teeth are not compatible with all types of veneers. For example, those with porcelain content are not suitable for grinding teeth. It may break or crack immediately. However, since zirconium is very resistant to chewing, such problems are not seen.
•     Zirconium treatment gives the teeth a smooth appearance.
•     Compared to other treatment methods, it is seen that the retention parts are more.
