Zirconium is created by processing and heating zircon material to make it suitable for teeth and gums. Zirconium dental crowning is a type of dental treatment that is white-colored, heat-resistant, and ideal for patients with metal allergies

Zirconium dental crowns are more translucent than metal-supported crowns, which prevents dark discoloration around the gums. Additionally, you won’t encounter issues such as black lines at the gum edges, which can occur with metal-supported porcelain crowns over time.

Thanks to zirconium’s light-transmitting properties, the dull appearance that can occur with teeth is eliminated, resulting in a healthier, more translucent, and natural look, closely resembling the original appearance of teeth.

Beyond providing an aesthetic and natural appearance, zirconium crowns are also beneficial for gum health. Zirconium crowns are more compatible with the gums, and the likelihood of gum disease developing around zirconium-crowned teeth is lower compared to metal-supported crowns.

In zirconium dental crowns, the tooth is reduced in size similarly to metal-supported crowns. Once the gums are in a healthy condition, precise measurements are taken using special molds and trays tailored to the patient’s mouth.

In a laboratory setting, a zirconium base is prepared in the most suitable shade for the tooth, and a porcelain layer is added on top. This structure is then adjusted for a perfect fit in the clinical environment. In the final stage, the crown is securely adhered to the tooth using special adhesives, ensuring full adaptation. The result is so natural that the patient can use it without distinguishing it from their original tooth.

Zirconium dental crowns offer a wide range of color options, allowing you to choose the shade that best suits your preferences. Additionally, with regular check-ups, they can be used for many years. There is no fixed lifespan for zirconium crowns. While natural teeth, being living tissues, may undergo changes over time due to wear and tear, zirconium crowns remain unchanged. Treating zirconium crowns with the same care you give your natural teeth is sufficient. There is no need for extra maintenance or supplementary products.
