Zirconium Teeth

Dental coatings are mostly applied in the form of porcelain coatings. Dental coatings are divided into two as metal-supported and metal-free. Dentists also have more aesthetic treatment approaches for patients who need a more aesthetic smile. These aesthetic needs bring up the issue of using zirconium-based teeth, which is a more aesthetic approach in dentistry, more frequently in their treatments. Zirconium, which is a white-colored substance used in tooth production, is processed in special furnaces by converting it into zirconia ceramic instead of its pure mineral state. Zirconium dental coating is in the group of metal-supported coatings and offers a more natural appearance compared to metal-supported coatings.

How are zirconium coatings applied?

The tooth is reduced in size as in metal-supported coatings. When the gums are healthy, measurements are taken with special measurements and spoons suitable for the mouth. In the laboratory environment, the zirconium infrastructure in the most suitable color for the tooth and the porcelain superstructure are processed on it, and its adaptation to the tooth is ensured in the clinical environment. In the final stage, it is completely adapted to the tooth with special adhesives. The person can use it without distinguishing it from their natural teeth.

What are the advantages of zirconium?
 

• The ceramic placed on the zirconium oxide substructure reduces the rate of food residues and microorganisms adhering to the tooth surface. Thus, good oral hygiene is provided.
• Zirconium oxide does not conduct heat, your teeth do not become sensitive when you take hot and cold foods.
• Zirconium substructure is prepared without touching with computer-aided CAD CAM system, therefore its adaptation and fit to the tooth is perfect.
• It reflects light very well, therefore it is more aesthetic than metal-supported porcelains,
• Zirconium substructure is friendly to the gums, does not cause gum recession,
• Even if the gums recede due to gum disease, a black line does not appear at the gum border like in metal. Because the substructure is also in the color of the tooth.
