Zirconium
Dental crowns, which are among the primary dental treatments, are divided into two types: metal-supported and non-metal-supported. Zirconium dental coating, which is in the group of metal-free coatings, offers a more natural appearance on the teeth compared to metal-supported coatings. Following the eruption of permanent teeth, zirconium dental coating application, which can be applied at any age, is not recommended for people in this age range due to the developmental period until the age of 18-20. The zirconium dental coating method is frequently preferred because it is both aesthetic enough to be used on front teeth and durable enough to be used on back teeth.
In addition, treatments with zirconium further increase people’s quality of life. In zirconium coating, the tooth is cut and reduced in size with local anesthesia, just like in metal-supported coating. Then, precise measurements are taken with special tools and mouth-fit spoons. Afterwards, temporary coating is applied to the teeth to prevent hot and cold sensitivity. In a laboratory environment equipped with advanced technological devices, the zirconium substructure in the most suitable color for the tooth and the porcelain superstructure are processed on it. Then, it is adapted to the tooth. In the final stage of zirconium dental coating treatment, it is bonded with special adhesives. The entire treatment period lasts 1 week for people without gum disease. However, dental rehearsals can be performed several times for patient satisfaction. If you want to have strong teeth and an aesthetic smile thanks to zirconium dental coating, just apply to Elit Istanbul Medical Center Oral and Dental Health Department.
