What is zirconium crowning?

    Veneers are thin tooth-colored coverings. It is often constructed of porcelain or composite bonding material and is glued to the front surface of your teeth with dental bonding cement to give your teeth a more symmetrical or aesthetically attractive look.

    The following are the most popular types of veneer:

     

    • Composite coatings 
    • Porcelain veneers

    There are two terms to grasp here. Zirconium and zirconia are metals. Zirconium (Zr) is a kind of METAL. It is extremely strong and has physical and chemical characteristics that are quite comparable to Titanium. Zirconia is a CERAMIC material. At high temperatures, it is generated by the reaction of oxygen and zirconium, also known as zirconium dioxide (ZrO2).

    Yes, they are pretty powerful. Because zirconium is the strongest ceramic substance, it is appropriately referred to as “ceramic steel.” And, indeed, it is ten times stronger than tooth enamel.

    With proper care, zirconium veneers may last anywhere from 10 to 30 years.

    How are zirconium crowns applied?

    In order to get a healthy and aesthetic result with zirconium crowning, attention should be paid to gingival health as priority. After the gums are treated and healed, they should be evaluated from an aesthetic point of view. If the patient’s smile line is high, and if necessary, the necessary leveling process is performed from the gingival lengths. After the gingival treatment and the shaping process is completed, a 1-2 mm filing down procedure is performed to the teeth. The filed teeth are measured with special impression materials and sent to the laboratory. According to the measurements taken, the design is prepared and produced in the laboratory digitally in the computer environment. After the intraoral rehearsal of the zirconium infrastructure is completed, the porcelain superstructure embroidered on it is also rehearsed. After the necessary final arrangements have been made, the polished and smooth surface crowns are adhered to the tooth. 

    What is zirconium crowning?

    Zirconium is a white metal extracted from nature. The material that forms the infrastructure under the porcelain in zirconium crowns is zirconium dioxide. Compared to classical, metal-based porcelain crowns, zirconium has a higher resistance to pressure and tension. Since it is a tissue-friendly material, it does not cause any allergies and has become a frequently preferred material in recent years.

      How should zirconium teeth be taken care of?

      As with our own teeth, it is important to take care of zirconium teeth regularly. For this, brushing your teeth and gums twice a day, providing good oral care with special dental floss for your zirconium bridges/crowns, and coming to your doctor every 6 months will allow you to use your zirconium teeth comfortably without experiencing any problems.

      WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ZIRCONIUM PORCELAIN COATING?

      • When evaluated aesthetically, it is a material that achieves perfection. It is also more durable when compared to other full ceramic systems.

      • It is a tissue-friendly material with very good biocompatibility and does not cause allergic reactions. In metal-supported systems, the sensitivity that occurs on the tooth due to heat conduction of the metal is reduced in systems with zirconium infrastructure due to the low thermal conductivity.

      • Unlike the metal substructure, it is a more aesthetic material because there is no gray color reflected from under the gingiva and because of its light fragility.
