Zirconium veneers are one of the dental applications that stand out with their naturalness, strength, and tissue compatibility. Zirconium, which is the main material of these crowns, is made of porcelain and ceramic materials. These elements offer both a white, clean appearance and a solid structure.
The fact that they do not contain metal is another important advantage of zirconium dental crowns. Veneers, which promise white teeth and an aesthetic smile, can be applied quickly and easily. For having a problem-free treatment process, it is essential to choose a skilled dentist.
Dental Veneer Treatment
Dental veneers are performed in oral and dental health centers, private clinics, and dental hospitals. It is very important to provide sterilization to prevent problems such as inflammation. First, the patient's oral cavity is analyzed, and then teeth and gums are examined. It is checked whether the natural teeth are suitable for the zirconium crown. If there are problems such as decayed teeth, split teeth, gum infections, and fractured teeth, these are treated first. Then dental veneers are applied.
Zirconium Crown Process
Anesthesia is applied to the patient during dental veneer. Thus, the patient does not feel pain while repairing a tooth. In order for the zirconium teeth to be placed correctly, the natural teeth may need to be filed. In this process, the tooth surfaces are filed less compared to the metal crown process. After filing, the teeth are measured and modeled in the dental laboratory. Compatibility with the color and shape of the original tooth is tested. Temporary teeth are attached to the main teeth at this time. After the prosthesis modeling is completed, the permanent teeth are bonded. The whole process takes about one week to ten days.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
New generation zirconium crowns are both easy to apply and easy to use. Also, it can easily be said that it is useful for long-term use. The advantages of zirconium teeth produced with the latest technology are as follows:
- Tooth discoloration does not occur. Zirconium teeth are not affected by the colorant drinks such as cola, cigarettes, and tea.
- Gum irritation does not occur. Even if a gingival recession happens over time, deformation will not be observed on the veneers.
- It is a useful tool in solving the split tooth problem. Similarly, it is also used in the treatment of crooked teeth and gives extremely effective results for both.
- They do not contain metal. This feature of the crowns is extremely important for people who are allergic to metal.
- It is resistant to heat and cold. Therefore, people can comfortably consume hot and cold foods and beverages.
The procedure is usually completed in 3 sessions. However, session length and the number of sessions may also vary. For example, in some cases, orthodontic treatment may be required first. Procedures such as Tooth-bleaching application and gingivitis treatment may be required. Some patients' dental veneer treatment, on the other hand, can be completed in two sessions.
The zirconia crown process takes approximately 7-8 days. This period includes all phases including intraoral examination, measurement of tooth size, prosthetic modeling in the lab, rehearsal session, and bonding of permanent veneers to the teeth.
Zirconium care is no different from natural teeth. It is enough to meet the conditions for oral hygiene and protect the teeth against impacts.
