The application of Zirconium, which is a special substance, to the teeth by various processes is called zirconium dental coating. Everyone wants their teeth to look white and healthy. Therefore, zirconium dental crown is an aesthetic tooth covering method and responds to those who want a healthy, white tooth. Other dental veneers are mostly applied in the form of porcelain veneers. Dental veneers are divided into two as metal-supported and non-metal-supported. Dentists are also among the more aesthetic treatment approaches for patients who need a more aesthetic smile. These aesthetic needs bring the more frequent use of zirconium, which is a more aesthetic approach, in dental veneers. Zirconium is transformed into zirconia ceramic instead of its pure form, and it takes its final form that can be used in treatment by going through special processes. Zirconium dental veneers are from the group of non-metallic veneers, resulting in a more natural and realistic appearance compared to metal-supported veneers.

What are the Advantages of Zirconium Dental Veneer?

One of the most important advantages of zirconium dental crowns is that it does not affect the gums. It does not create a dark color on the gums, as it transmits light better than metal-supported coatings. In addition, it does not cause effects such as black color reflection on the gingival edge, which may occur in metal-coated teeth in the future. In addition, people who use zirconium tooth coating do not have hot cold sensitivity. This is also an important advantage. In addition, thanks to the light transmittance of zirconium, the matte appearance, which is likely to occur on the teeth, is lost. In this way, the closest appearance of the teeth to their original state is obtained and a healthier, more transparent and more natural appearance emerges.

In addition to providing an aesthetic and natural appearance, zirconium coating is also very important for gingival health. Because zirconium dental crowns are more compatible with the gums, and the probability of any bleeding or inflammation in the gums around the teeth with zirconium crowns is lower than metal-supported dental crowns. Therefore, we can briefly say about this service that the naturalness and healthy appearance of both the gums and the tooth structure are preserved thanks to its light transmission. Zirconium crown does not cause allergic reactions. It is much more durable than full ceramic coatings and laminated coatings, it is at the level of durability close to metal infrastructure. Therefore, it is extremely comfortable to use. Due to the properties of zirconium material, its thermal conductivity is less than other coatings.

Who Can Have Zirconium Dental Veneers?

Zirconium veneer can be applied to almost anyone who requires a fixed prosthesis. Essentially, it is a suitable treatment for anyone who has completed their tooth development and needs veneers. However, it is also possible to prefer other coating methods. Due to the natural structure of zirconium, it is the most ideal dental treatment for patients who are resistant to heat and allergic to metal. Zirconium crowns transmit light. In addition, it is more durable than metal-veneered teeth and is preferred more in front teeth due to its natural appearance. Zirconium minimizes stains that may occur due to smoking or other reasons and does not cause bad breath. In addition, it does not cause gum problems and does not cause taste changes in the mouth.

Zirconium dental veneer is also used in case of advanced discoloration of the teeth. This discoloration may be due to hereditary structure. However, in this case, zirconium tooth coating brings a solution. In addition, in cases where orthodontic treatment is not preferred, zirconium tooth coating can be applied. Problems that require orthodontic treatment are split, less crooked or turned teeth. Apart from these problems, zirconium dental veneers are used in old fillings with discolored and distorted structure, as a crown or bridge in posterior teeth, in prostheses on implants in anterior teeth, and in order to create smile aesthetics.
