What is Zirconium Veneer?
Zirconium veneers are a modern type of dental crown used for aesthetic and functional improvement of teeth. Zirconium is a material derived from titanium and is often preferred in aesthetic dentistry because it has the ability to look like natural teeth. These veneers are applied in the form of thin layers placed over the teeth and are characterized by both durability and natural appearance.
Advantages of Zirconium Veneers:
- Natural Appearance: Zirconium veneers provide an aesthetic appearance compatible with natural teeth. Thanks to its light transmission feature, veneers offer a natural appearance like real teeth.
- Durability: Zirconium is a highly durable material and provides long-lasting veneers. It shows high strength during chewing and other oral functions.
- Hypoallergenic: Zirconium veneers are generally well tolerated by the body and have a low risk of allergic reactions. This is an important advantage, especially for patients with metal allergies.
- Minimal Tissue Loss: Zirconium veneers are prepared to cover only a thin layer of the tooth, which helps preserve natural tooth tissue.
How is Zirconium Crown Applied?
Zirconium crown treatment usually consists of several stages:
- Examination and Planning: First, your dentist evaluates the condition of your teeth and oral structure. At this stage, x-rays and detailed measurements are taken to determine the suitability of the veneer and a treatment plan is created.
- Preparation of Teeth: The surface of the teeth to be veneered is sanded in a thin layer so that the veneers can adhere properly. This preparation process is done in a way to preserve the natural structure of the teeth.
- Measurement and Laboratory Work: After the measurements of the teeth are taken, zirconium veneers are prepared in specialized laboratories. This process usually takes a few days. The laboratory meticulously crafts the veneers to match the natural structure of your teeth.
- Placing the Veneers: The prepared zirconium veneers are bonded onto the teeth. Your dentist checks the fit and appearance of the veneers. After the placement of the veneers, the necessary adjustments are made and a final check is performed.
Zirconium veneers significantly improve dental aesthetics and function. Here are some of the benefits:
