Zirconium crowns are one of the most preferred treatment methods in aesthetic dentistry in recent years. Zirconium coatings, which have superior features in terms of both aesthetics and functionality, offer an ideal solution for correcting deformities, color changes and fractures in teeth. Thanks to the durability of zirconium and its structure compatible with natural teeth, it has gained an important place in the field of dentistry. Antalya prosthetic dentistry specialist Dr. Tevfik Yavuz provides important information about the features, advantages and application process of zirconium crownss.

What are Zirconium Crowns?

Zirconium crownss are coatings made of zirconium, a highly durable and aesthetic material applied to teeth. Zirconium gives teeth a natural appearance with its white and light-reflecting structure. At the same time, the durability of zirconium provides a chewing power similar to normal teeth. These coatings are placed on the front surface of the tooth and improve the aesthetic appearance of the tooth. Zirconium is more aesthetic and healthy than coatings made with metal substructures. While the metal’s inability to transmit light negatively affects the appearance of natural teeth, the light-transmitting feature of zirconium provides more natural and aesthetic results.

Advantages of Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium coatings have many advantages in terms of aesthetics and functionality:

1. Aesthetic Appearance: Zirconium is a material that gives teeth a natural appearance. Thanks to its white color and light reflecting properties, zirconium coatings are perfectly compatible with natural teeth.
2. Durability: Zirconium is a very strong and durable material. Once applied to the teeth, it resists chewing forces for a long time. This ensures the longevity of zirconium coatings.
3. No Metal Allergy: Since zirconium crowns are made with a metal-free material, they are a safe option for people with metal allergies. While metal crowns can cause allergic reactions in some patients, zirconium prevents such problems.
4. Adapting to the Gum: Zirconium coatings adapt to the gums and prevent swelling, inflammation or other problems in the gums during long-term use. This protects gum health and improves aesthetic appearance.
5. Reduced Sensitivity: Zirconium crowns can help prevent decay and hot-cold sensitivity. The durable structure of zirconium protects the outer surface of the tooth and prevents such sensitivities.
6. Reduced Tooth Abrasion: Zirconium crowns require minimal abrasion to the tooth. An aesthetic improvement is achieved without damaging the natural structure of the tooth. This requires less intervention than other types of crowns.

Zirconium Crown Application Process

The zirconium crown application begins with a detailed examination by the dentist. The application process consists of the following stages:

1. Examination and Planning: First, your dentist evaluates your current tooth structure and determines whether you are suitable for zirconium coating treatment. If your tooth is decayed, broken or has an aesthetic problem, zirconium coating treatment may be recommended.
2. Tooth Preparation: Before the zirconium crown is applied, a very small abrasion is made on the tooth. This stage provides a surface on which the crown can be placed. The abrasion process is usually minimal and is done while preserving the natural structure of the tooth.
3. Taking Tooth Impressions: The dentist takes measurements so that zirconium coatings suitable for your teeth can be made. These measurements are important for the coating to fit perfectly and to achieve a natural appearance. These measurements sent to the laboratory allow for the zirconium crowns to be specially produced.
4. Placing Zirconium Veneers: The zirconium veneers coming from the laboratory are placed on the teeth in a way that they are compatible. After your dentist checks whether the veneers are aesthetically suitable, he performs the permanent bonding process.
5. Final Checks and Maintenance: After the zirconium crowns are placed, the patient needs to be checked by the dentist for a few weeks. The dentist checks the fit and function of the crowns. In addition, regular oral care and dental cleanings ensure the longevity of the zirconium crowns.
