Why Zirconium Dental Coating?

Zirconium dental coating has become a preferred option with its various advantages:

• Natural Appearance: Zirconium comes in a whiteness similar to natural tooth color and has a feature similar to natural teeth in terms of light transmittance. Therefore, veneered teeth have a very natural and aesthetic appearance.

• Durability: Zirconium coatings can withstand daily oral activities due to their high strength. They provide long-term use while performing functions such as chewing and speaking.

• Biocompatibility: Zirconium is considered a material compatible with the body. The risk of allergy is minimal and it protects gum health.

• Permanence: Zirconium coatings are long-lasting. When well cared for and regular oral health routines are followed, they can last for many years.

• Thin Structure: Zirconium crowns can have a thin design, requiring minimal tooth preparation. This allows less dental tissue to be removed, which can keep teeth stronger.

How to Apply?

​

Zirconium dental coating application may include the following steps:

• Consultation and Evaluation: The first step is to consult a dentist. The dentist evaluates your teeth, listens to your needs and determines whether zirconium crowns are suitable for you.

• Creating a Treatment Plan: Your dentist creates a treatment plan to understand which teeth require veneers, how many veneers will be made, and what result you want to achieve.

• Tooth Preparation: Although zirconium crowns generally have a thin design, minimal tooth preparation may be required in some cases. If necessary, your dentist may remove a thin layer from the front surfaces of the teeth to be veneered.

• Taking Measurements: Your dentist will take measurements of the prepared teeth. These measurements are sent to the laboratory and zirconium coatings are specially produced.

• Temporary Coating: It may take some time to produce zirconium coatings in the laboratory. During this time, your dentist may place temporary crowns so that your teeth are protected throughout the treatment process.

• Veneer Placement: When zirconium veneers arrive from the laboratory, your dentist places them by first removing the temporary veneers. The shape, fit and color of the veneers are checked. Necessary corrections are made.

• Bonding and Adjustment: Once the veneers are confirmed to be suitable, your dentist secures the veneers to the teeth with a special adhesive. It is ensured that the veneers fit properly and that your bite pattern is appropriate.

• Final Checks and Maintenance Instructions: Final checks are made to ensure that the coatings are in place. Your dentist will instruct you on regular oral care routines to protect your zirconium crowns.
