What is a zirconium crown?
Zirconium teeth have a semi-permeable feature like natural teeth. It looks like natural teeth due to its light transmission feature. It does not create the gray or purple color that porcelain coatings create in the gums, it has no harm to human health, so allergic conditions caused by other coatings are not seen in zirconium applications.
It is a type of transparent-looking tooth produced from white-colored and heat-resistant zirconium metal, which has been popularly used in recent years. It is divided into two as metal-supported and non-metal-supported. Metal-supported veneers have a dense structure. Since zirconium porcelain veneers have a light-transmitting structure, they do not create a dark color in the gums and offer a more natural appearance since they are metal-free veneers and have a less dense structure than metal-supported veneers.
Patients who are allergic to metal do not encounter any problems when they use zirconium dental veneers. Patients with zirconium dental veneers are most satisfied with the fact that the gum edges remain white and their teeth have a transparent appearance due to the fact that zirconium is a white substance.
Because it has a white and transparent appearance and has a very resistant structure against pressure and force; zirconium dental coating, which has become popular in recent years, gives very satisfactory results in terms of aesthetics and function.
About Zirconium Crown
Zirconium is a white metal extracted like granites found in nature. In the field of dentistry, veneers and bridges made by placing porcelain on the zirconium substructure, known as Cercon, are a system with the highest physical value of 900MPa resistance. It is a great innovation in terms of dental treatment for reasons such as having no harm to human health, easy tissue adaptation, not developing sensitivity due to its insulating properties against hot and cold foods, and not causing discoloration of the gums.
Zirconium tooth application is the same as in classical dental veneers, the difference occurs in laboratory procedures. Zirconium teeth are made with computerized devices with cad glass technology.
