What is zirconium crown? Teeth can be damaged due to reasons such as caries, physical trauma and genetic factors. In cases where teeth are damaged, the main goal should be to save the tooth from every angle. Depending on the level of decay or damage, the most appropriate treatment is carried out by the dentist, taking into account the patient’s demands. For example, in a moderately advanced caries case, the decay is first cleaned and then the treatment is carried out with applications such as veneers or fillings.

Zirconia Crown vs Porcelain

The tooth structure of the patient willing to have veneers is examined in detail. If the patient is suitable for veneers, the area is numbed with anesthetic. In order for the veneer to fit the tooth, the tooth is abraded to a certain extent. Abrasion results in thinning of the tooth. At the end of the thinning process, impressions are taken for the veneers. The impressions are transferred to digital media and the necessary corrections are made here.

After the color and brightness of the veneer is clarified with the patient, the original veneers are produced in the laboratory. The production time is approximately 1 week. During this time, a temporary coating is applied to the person’s teeth. Those who have zirconium teeth are generally satisfied with the results of the application. Images reflecting before and after treatment are inspiring for potential users.

Is zirconia crown better than porcelain? Both coating materials are extremely suitable for the procedure. If an aesthetic application such as a Hollywood smile is desired, the use of porcelain veneers material should be at the forefront. However, if you want to use an innovative material that is aesthetically and functionally good, zirconium may be a better option. You can make the right decision about the choice of veneer material together with your dentist.
